the combat triangle experiment

[swordb88]

some people say that the dark bow is throwing off the triangle.

 

I am goin to conduct an experiment. Heres how its going to go.

 

 

 

Control group (Experiment one)

 

3 players,

 

One will use ancients

 

One will use Mage short or karils

 

One will wear full dragon with whip and defender.

 

 

 

They will all square off on each other at duel arena,

 

5 matches per oppenent (10 per person)

 

the rules will be turned on except food, prayer, pots, and there will be no obstacle and movement will be on. All armor that would benefit you. Such as meleer must wear melee armor, not dragonskin.

 

 

 

this is the control group, before dark bow unleashed.

 

 

 

RESULTS!

 

 

 

mage vs range~ _:_

 

melee vs mage~ _:_

 

range vs melee~ _:_

 

 

 

 

 

EXPERIMENT 2 (DARK BOW UNLEASHED!)

 

 

 

This expirement will see hoe effectively the dark bow effects the triangle. Same runels as above, except ranger MUST USE DARK BOW AND DRAGON ARROWS.

 

 

 

RESULTS!

 

 

 

mage vs range~ _:_

 

melee vs mage~_:_

 

range vs melee~ _:_

~THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE EVERYONES MIND ABOUT THE TRIANGLE~

 

 

 

[Thus]

interesting, but use torag instead of dragon. No one will risk dragon in wildy

[acenator]

It's a god idea overall, but shouldn't you be including barrows armors since they are some of the best armor in the game (much better than dragon tbh).

[MercantCaptain]

Dual Arena ~ :-$

[Marco]

It's in the Duel Arena.

 

 

 

If no movement is allowed then I think it'll always favour melee, the main advantage of Magic is being able to Entangle an opponent.

[swordb88]

YEA

 

i may tweak it a little bit, such as including barrelchest ancor,

 

and plz read the whole thing

 

 

 

 

 

ITS IN DUEL ARENA

[piman1053]

Why not just have each of them on a barrows set? Or you could just have the highest possible bonus for each

[Arambul]

Use barrowsets for each person.

 

 

 

And what I think he means by no one will risk it in the wild is no one will risk it in the wild. If this wasn't in the arena and it was actualy fighting, no one would use dragon armor just because it's too expensive.

 

 

 

I think if you want a good experiment you need to provide the runes and arrows. I don't know if there will be people to waste there expensive arrows and runes to try it out.

[Soma2035]

No one will ever use just torags in the wilderness and go one on one against a mage who just uses ahrims either.

 

 

 

If you're in the wilderness, you'll either ALWAYS be hybriding, ALWAYS have a big team, OR always die.

 

 

 

Unless of course the world comes to an end and leaves you the only person with a computer to go online so no on can kill you, but that's not too likely either.

 

 

 

I think his purpose is to test whether Jagex's original idea is still in place. Which it still is. It's just hybriding and new strategies push the triangle all over the place.

[Marco]

Okay, so the Ranger can wear Karils, and the Mage can be clad in Ahrims, but the problem with Barrows armour is the choice for the Warrior.

 

 

 

It all depends on what kind of a player they are when choosing which of the 4 melee Barrows armour to weild. Planning on defending a lot? Then it's Torags, going for the huge risk, but possibly a KO then it'll be Dharoks etc..

[highlanders]

Why are you using skill capes?

 

 

 

Use the ava's accumulator for rangers. Demand for 99 ranged ranger.

 

Use the fire cape for the meleer. Demand 99 strength.

 

Whatever cape for mage. Demand 99 magic.

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, this is biaised: depending on the prayer lvls of the characters, wether they are pure of not, their range level and quests done(for hp) it changes everything.

[yomom1919]

In order to make this valid, use only! 126's with maximum stats. Its the only truly safe and valid way to test this, because it makes all levels even, and you wont have any rumored 'ghost level' problems. Also, use the same invo's people would in the wildy, and get experienced players advice.

 

 

 

I really think this sort of investigation is best suited for the tip.it research team, and educated and experienced stakers and Pkers, in order to yield the best and most valid results.

[swordb88]

using capes as an example of u showing ure role (mage,range,or melee)

 

 

 

 

 

AND FFS SAKES ITS NOT IN WILDY! DUEL AREAN! ARG!

[Arkano5]

you could always try and find someone with 3rd age melee armour as well.

[Arambul]

This experiement would be pointless because we all know what will happen. The melee would DDS the hell out of the ranger. The melee would also DDS the hell out of the mage.

[swordb88]

u obvisuly didnt read the whole thing.

 

 

 

 

 

STOP FLAMING! READ THE WHOLE EXPIREMENT BEFORE POSTING! :evil:

[Aresgodowar]

or they could hybrid ko...dds darkbow..dead..

 

 

 

oh yeah and ....wwooooo

[swordb88]

do u even know wuth the combat triangle is?

Exactly what i was going to say, and i don't think 5 fight is enough as remember most of the game is luck, i'd say 10 fights per a oponent.

[highlanders]

[swordb88]

im going to probably make it that way, and thanx for a real suggestion!

 

anyone on tip it help me for this?

 

i need people for expirement

[sykoknight]

I would say to do the duels with no prayer that way that is one less thing to worry about. All 3 classes have equivalent prayers, so if you do the duels without prayer, then everyone is at an equal handicap and it wouldn't matter if someone is 99 or 1 prayer.

 

 

 

You also need 99 attack as well as strength for the melee person, and everyone should probably have 99 defense. Theres enough people nowadays with the stats to do it so it shouldn't be hard.

 

 

 

Maybe you can try to record the winner of each match's HP after the fight? For example, if the mage bow ranger won every fight against the mage, and so did the dark bow ranger, which is better? Maybe the ranger ended with an average of 15 hits left when using the magic bow, but had an average of 30 left when using the dark bow? And when fighting the melee person, mabe he beat the ranger all times, regardless of bow, but maby he had 70 hits left against the magic bow but 30 hits against the dark bow.

 

 

 

Just some ideas. Seems like a very interesting experiment to give a base on where the darkbow approximately stands in comparison.

[phata_elise]

nice idea, but let the melee guy use a dds as well, since that's one of the most dangerous and most used melee weapons.

[swordb88]

ok, and i asid prayer turnned off

[armadillo48]

Experiments.

 

 

 

That was bugging me sorry :P
