a melee in hides is using something from another part of the triangle to gain an advantage. if a mage brought range as well as mystic he could still fairly accurately entangle this meleer (in splitbark and granite shield I still entangle full hiders 3/4 of the time) and range their newly lowered range defense due to the hides. if he switches, you switch. it all works out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do agree a little bit though. rangers should lose 20~ mage defense points for full hides in exchange for a special on the crystal bow and a few more offensive perks, but nothing too drastic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, another 3 spaces taken up by potion (Anti-poison, Super Defence (Maybe) Mage Pot (If needed)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's another 3 spaces. Leaving just 16 for food.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

take out mage pot and antipoison because mage pot pking isnt gonna give up any kills anyway and no one uses dagger with scims to cut webs and spec with (or maul to spec with and scim to fight with). if anything super energy would be used, but mages have so little weight it doesnt matter. mages also have less food because they dont get hit thanks to the entangle you mentioned, and if they do (my splitbark pk style for example) then they greatly outdo meleers in damage and wont need to eat as much anyway.

And back on RSC Mages could wear full rune, God Cape, and God staff and basically own. Same with Rangers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your point?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thats funny because range absolutely sucked in rsc and you couldn't use it up close :lol: as for mage it once again was only used to assist melee, and god staves just promoted teaming.

melee spend the most money for equipment and naturally should overpower rangers

Could u take some math classes please? I fire 400 gp every time I hit or not hit you! Or 500 gp with mage with the same outcome...

 

 

 

Most money for equipment??? What equipment? Go out to wildy, half of melee people run with dragonhide armor out there.

seeing as melee has to buy 3 pots, and rangers buy 1....every time we SEE you there goes 3000gp... our armour is not cheap like you noobie little 20k hide...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but then again, rangers need 2 specials to have a chance at mages, so that part is unfair

Very smart and mature post. Well for you to know, you can wear lot of armors cos they are in game (including dragonhide armor), and rangers have only one. Remembered??? They have nothing to choose from only this one "cheap noobie little 20 k hide". :roll:

every time we SEE you there goes 3000gp... our armour is not cheap like you noobie little 20k hide...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You use all three pots the moment you spot a white dot? Thats a bit silly isnt it? Also just as rangers have a few stats to train we have a few skills. Range AND defence. Two potions to your three, no big deal really. Black hides sell for around 4000 per? Not sure, dont market in them maybe a bit more. Persay 4000 is right. 4000 * 5 = 24000. Count in the whole earnings.. Ive never seen a single set sell on the market for less than 50k. Still cheap but learn your prices.

It's ruining the Triangle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mages Can't kill meleers because they can just switch to Dragonhide armour and it doesn't effect how they hit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Say it was a Mage Vs Mage. If one of the mages switched to Dragonhide armour they wouldn't hit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Melee Vs Mage. Mage is winning, so Melee switches to Dragonhide armour, preventing the Mage from hitting while the melee can still attack and not be effected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

god you are retarted, entangle anyone?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on top of that, mages hit through dragon hide at a good rate, and tele block makes it so the melee cant get away

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if meleers had +s to slash\stab\crush by wearing rune armor then it would be pretty equal, but melee gets destroyed by mages now, and beaten by rangers, the only thing rangers cant do is take out 80 hp in half a second

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rangers can wear rune\dragon legs and still own, i was fiting a lvl 80 ranged ranger in castle wars, im 81 def. He wore drag legs, black body+vems, robin hood, legend cape, drag ammy, mage shortbow, rune boots, and rune arrows. I wore rune legs+plate, warrior helmet, granite shield, glory, legend cape, drag scimitar, cooking gauntlets, and addy boots. I GOT OWNED SO HARD IT WASNT EVEN FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVEN HE ADMITTED THAT RANGED WAS OVERPOWERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so boo freakin hoo that we can switch armor, it only effects it when we're fiting mages, and we still get ownt.... just be quiet

You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To Teleblock someon in dragonhide it takes me a good 5-10 attempts to do. Entangle doesn't hold them for very long IF it does work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you been into the wild recently? Have you seen the number of meleers wearing dragonhide body? It's not even funny...

well arhims is very useful 4 mages

Yes, and posting in several month old threads isn't. :?

Melee is meant to be the primary mode of combat in RS. It's quite obvious. Quests, weapon complexity, monsters, cost, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mage and range, for me, are meant to be a secondary weapon. They're powerful, but like you said are too triangle-based and cannot stand by themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw - against melee someone can use range/mage or melee/mage. Works well; when someone switches to dhide I verac them away. (Or DDS, or rune knives, or ob rings)

Melee- 3 skills to train

 

 

 

Ranger- 1 skill to train

 

 

 

Mage- 1 skill to train

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because, as you know, only melee'ers need defense :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: I forgot to mention that magic defense is composed of one's defense and magic level. Therefore, you would expect a decent ranger to have a decent magic level, so you could count that as one more stat needed. Of course, it's really up to you whether or not you wish to count it.

Oh noes! Guess what? *GASPSHOCKAWE* I have ranged in melee armor before!! And hit perfectly!! And maged too! And hit perfectly!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Besides. Melee has to pretty much HYBRID to wear d hide.

I've got 93(.9, shush I'm 20k away people) and in melee armor I hit pretty bad, even when Barraging. According to your sig you're not even in the Hiscores. What were you hitting, chickens?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, its nice to see melee has an advantage. We mages have plenty (especially the rich noobs), so it's not too much trouble to give the other classes some 8-) .

Sorry mate, with 1 def you will get owned like nothing

I was looking at the topics in this board then saw that I made one and was like "o.O I don't remember making one recently" then saw that this thread was from April 2005... Like 20 months ago :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My point still stands though, Meleers can use Dragonhide to help reduce mage attacks while still keeping their attack bonuses. No other form of combat can do this. Although there's some alternatives now It's still something that annoys me =P

just use a combo... full blk + range, dds

nice. It's a pity though, since ranging is my favourite combat style by far.

i have a pure ranger tht cut anything to pieces, EXCEPT full runers and maybe addy on a bad day. so i would have to disagree. I'm pretty sure a mage can handle full rune...once he takes off his armor, i tag him anyways. The most annoying thing i feel is that when somebody uses prayer. That gets to be, especially if theyre 6 lvls higher than me in full rune...whos gonna win?
