drgnslyer_15 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 when i was lookin at the Armadyl armor i noticed it is the 1st range armor to give negative melee bonuses?! I know its not that serious but didn't some people actually want jagex to make armor like that?

manila_rose Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 So what its rng armor for a reason From what I understand it, the triangle has been messed up for a while, with people wielding whips and other melee weapons, while equipping DHides for max magic defense. Then they proceed to slaughter Mages... :-k (I believe this is true, please don't quote me on it however) Think this is a start towards other range items having negative melee stats? :shock: EDIT: Fix'd a really bad typo. 3 How...

snake6man Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hey I remeber that! something about meeleers where black d hide to be better against mages, even tho melee armour gives tons of penalties to mage and range.

Dork Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Nice to see, but it's not going to fix anything if they don't do the same to black dragonhide armour, people are still just going to wear that while they melee against mages :?

phata_elise Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 nice, now to do the same to all dragonhide armours and balance is restored a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy87 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 nice, now to do the same to all dragonhide armours and balance is restored a bit more doing that to dragon hide might balance PVP... but it wont happen and would be dumb and make slayer be hard for some pople. trust me, infernal mages blood velds and a few others really arent worth it if you need prayer all the time. without hides you couldnt melee them. thus, unbalance.

DarkDude Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Talked to Mod Mark about this problem a couple of years back now and he agreed with me that it was stupid. It's good to see they've finally done stuff to try and fix the problem. It arises due to the way that the different classes get their attack bonus. With Melee it's 95% from their weapon itself, rest is from slight armour boosts but nothing too bad. With both Range and Mage most of the attack bonus comes from the armour, so unless you wear that specific armour while ranging/maging you were basically screwed whereas Meleers could change their outfit as they saw fit without much of a penalty. The problem with it is that it IS useful for fighting NPCs, which is fine. It just ruins things in PvP which is annoying #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wachtwoord Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Thanks for telling me, I was going to buy a set for CW (it does have the best mage defence bonus in the game after all). Guess I'll have to stick to karils. When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.All skills 80+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisc6 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 im glad because it means that it really is range armour.you cant just wear this to combat mages without taking a hit from meleers.their just fixing the combat triangle :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwatake Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 It doesn't matter much. It's not like you're going to be training seriously with that. It is rare, and atm each piece is worth 10m+, so you don't want to die with that, do you? So you likely won't be pking with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon_lord Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Why would you expect good melee bonuses from Range armour? Pretty much what Dragon said.Thread terminated.I guess that means I'm the thread Terminator? No Tip.Iters were harmed in the making of this post.
