Mage Armor in f2p?

[Merlin_0525]

just a short while ago, i noticed that the armor a mage can wear in f2p is severely limited. There is basically blue wiz robes, black wiz robes, a dragonfire shield, some kind of bottom (i use monk robe). All these things can be worn at any time, and there is no f2p mage armor that can be worn with say, 40 def and 40 mage...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this seem uneven to anyone?

 

 

 

(warriors have armor, bronze, iron, steel, black, mithril, adamant, rune)

 

 

 

(Rangers have leathers, from leather, hard leather, studded leather, green dragonhide)

This has been posted many times in the past and I truly do ahree with this topic.

[JimiWasGod]

when f2p archers get rune arrows and magic bows i'll agree. until then deal with it.

[gadien01]

I agree, but the current mage armour should stay p2p. Maybe they should release an in between armour for both types of the game that requires only 10 or 15 magic and def instead of 20.

[katsuro0]

i like this idea. if members are mages but have to fight a clan war in f2p, they have very little protection.

[thunderg_cid]

It doesn't matter. F2p mages are way better with a team. Another mage with you would make the world of difference. It does alot of damage, and the mage armor is good enough considering how the mage attacks follow until hitting. This lets you kill even if they run out of wild, and mages are good for hit and run tactics.

[sirsmelalot]

if u get attacked and need defence jsut use prayer that why you where monk skirt

[Merlin_0525]

true, but the monk skirt only counters strength

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mages need something to counter attack....at least i believe so

[idiot911]

While I think mages are fine, a weaker version of splitbark would be aweseme for f2p.

[darkheie]

I just want Colored Boots and Wilderness Cape, *cries*...

 

 

 

It sounds smart to have better mage armor in F2P, but theres no point of JaGeX doing so..

 

 

 

There are tons of magers out there, most of them pwn in groups.

 

 

 

If there were better mage armor mage would alone pwn.

 

 

 

And it ruins the PK Triangle more.

 

 

 

But its already ruined, whats the point?!

 

 

 

The point is not to ruin it more, but to make it better.

 

 

 

With the new updates I think they are trying to balance the triangle out...Sorta

 

 

 

But as Idiot911 said, a weeker version of Splitbark sounds cool.

 

 

 

Myselft as a F2P-ER would enjoy better mage armor, but I don't think its nesscesary.

 

 

 

Mages can do a whole bunch of pwnding spells, all meleers can do is attack.

 

 

 

Rangers can only attack using arrows to, unless F2P.

 

 

 

So if magers get pimped out with all new gear, wouldn't F2P Rangers want new ranger gear?

 

 

 

Such as Darts? Throwing Axes? Etc?

 

 

 

THEN F2P meleers would want new weapons, halberds, etc.

 

 

 

So if we keep wanting things it would lead to people not getting members and just staying free.

 

 

 

It would be SO cool if we get some F2P updates, but I don't there is a chance...

rangers already did get an upgrade with the maple bows and up to addy arrows

[LIQUIDMAN-RETURNED]

Let us look at this logically...

 

 

 

The ranger maximum attack in F2P is like higher than 68 right? (maple bow, vamps, all green>)

 

 

 

The warrior maximum attack is 45 (for scimmy), not sure for others

 

 

 

The max for mages is 25! ( Ps. The rangers have a better chance to hit even with double the speed.)

[Xerowingsx5k]

Mages have been hitting my dhide quite often =\ 84 def + 75 magic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still, I think F2P mages need some sight tweak.

[jrmurderz]

yeah all i want is boots and the capes darn it :cry:

[Deathskully]

Another F2P update that I support.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It would be good to give some mage armour to the F2Ps, as mages are getting owned while in 1v1, as rangers can shoot through their robes and own them, meleers can just take of armour / put draghide on and own mages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you look at max damages also, Mages hit 16 max. Rangers hit 17 max. Meleers hit 26 max around.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(By looking at that, you may think meleers own too much)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, Meleers aren't too fast with their weapons if they want to hit 26s. Still, Jagex shouldn't add any F2P melee updates or meleers will be too overpowered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rangers hit only 17, but their really fast aswell as accurate. They own magers WAY too easy, with their hides as the mages are hitting 0-0. Also, if you notice, Rangers have the cheapest stuff to get.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mages hit the slowest of all, and their the weakest. Also, their crappy robes make them die fast. Mages really deserve some mage armour to stop them from getting owned like hell in 1v1.

[frogspoons]

the weakest? low lvl mages own wild- with fire strike at cmbat lvl 7 they can hit 8!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then if they keep pure enough they constantly hit in the mid teens against mele. admitidly slow- but they can still put up a good fight with a ranger- just get members.

[shadowshow]

yes, i think that they should make something for mages that can be used in f2p, but it can not be anywhere as good as mystic or splitbark, because that would be like f2p warriors using dragon, and f2p archers useing black dragon

[Crim_nimora]

I agree not likely to happen though

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*shrugs* I'm p2p anyways
