Dragon Claws - The savior or bane of PVP?

[DreamReaper]

However, it's just another thing to chalk up to Runescape's failing combat system. Weapons are getting more and more powerful while players aren't. It'll only get worse and worse until Jagex increase the cap or alter the combat system altogether.

 

 

 

Pretty much this.

 

 

 

It doesn't matter that weapons are inaccurate and will oftentimes fail to hit even half their max; what does matter is that some weapons (ags, d claws, and d bow) can take about 75% of your hp at the maximum hp. That's frightening. Honestly, who cares about these new armors; the only thing armor and defence can do is reduce the accuracy of these weapons. These weapons are still capable of doing exorbitantly high amounts of damage. These special attacks, coupled with ice blitz, can easily kill even the strongest of warriors ignoring the bonuses of their mighty armor and super defence potion(if they don't brew) and if they fail to do that, you've got another special.

Its just an extra ko weapon. Its not all that much different from blitz AGS'ing, or 1 hit koing people your level with dark bow, or granite maul 1 hit ko's as well.

Dragon claws are like 5m ge price and 60m street price and if im paying that kind of money I better be getting a damn good weapon. Now if the Dragon claws were a 100k weapon then we would have a problem. These, to pvp, are just another GOOD weapon along side the Dark bow and AGS. Although it may be a good weapon it is still pretty hard to 2 hit someone even if maxed out so I dont really see the problem.

 

 

 

And no it shouldnt be nerf'd because there is nothing wrong with it.

I'd be much more afraid of someone with a DDS and a rune defender at 99 attack and strength then I would be of dragon claws at the same stats. #-o

 

 

 

Coming from someone who has played on and off since 2002, this game has become much too easy.

 

I remember when the best weapon in the game was a dragon longsword, and if you had a power ammy in F2P you were a God. Cooking salmon one by one and burning them all..

 

 

 

I wish it was hard like that again :|

I have a screenie from when I got my first r2h :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I was in a mith large helmet, adamant platebody and mithril platelegs hehe. Every time I got the money i'd upgrade up one type of armor. I didn't know it wasn't cost effective because i was having so much fun.

[weedstallin]

yea i agree that p2p is failing in pvp and bounty hunter....

 

if u managed to look in at bounty on memebers every1 is a ranger .. risk nothing gain all.....

 

 

 

now take a look at f2p .... every1 wears rune every1 risks rune its fair .... the hits arnt huge nor do they need to be.... jagex u had the game perfect at rsc pkin.... the combat style was perfect 3hits v4 u could eat....

 

 

 

you tried to improve on perfection jagex.... uve blown it now and u cant turn it around till u make another stupid weapon and cause your own demise of runescape....

 

point the finger at andrew and paul gower

can regular 60 atk pures use them? if so, pvp for low levels is so totally screwed.

Yeah, i've seen kids in iron full and low levels running around with them in pvp. I can't even imagine being put up against that with my lvl 51 range 2her :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o .

[Mediumwell]

craziness, thats like instant ko, my friend's 60 atk 87 str.... does that mean he can 1 hit any one his level? (he's like 67 or so)

Quite likely.

[Slayer_Jesse]

imo, the claws are WAY overhyped. sure, they have power, but they have a BIG accuracy problem. It comes down to luck, as allways. i got a chance to borrow some, and i was fighting my freind with them. we have stats in the same "weight class" (90+) and he could easly beat me with dds+ rune defender in no armor fights. he also beat me WITH armor too (we both used whip and similar armor.) i would love to have some, sure, but the prces are rediculous.

[brunokiller]

When are they going to nerf ags-blitz? *points to sig*

[Itsjustagame]

I'm not much of a quester myself, having only 212 qp, but are these demons that drop them safe-spotable?

 

 

 

The 3 d claw drops the thread maker has in his sig show him with a drag hally...

[3hitm4g3u]

Powerful pj weapon. Like the AGS.

 

 

 

Tbh when they are used in a good fight I have no problem with them but when you get 110's pjing you, praying, then running if you don't die, it's a headache.

[Kenneh]

If they are overpowered, then i'd say pvp needed a new edge of exitement.

 

AGS + DH pkin was getting boring.

[totalpwnage]

Claws are overhyped. At first, they were overpowered -- everyone dclawed with almost 100% accuracy, 2 hitting almost everyone. They've been nerfed once already, having a lot less accuracy -- thank god.

 

 

 

I got to try dclaws in pvp -- they are pretty good but they aren't that accurate. When they hit, they're good though. Its like an ags, but ags has more use. Ags can really be used as a primary weapon too, and it can be used to ko even without the spec. Dclaws can't do that. Ags also has the +8 prayer... and it has more accuracy.

 

 

 

At least the claws accuracy isn't as good as the accuracy that it was on day 1 -- god, that was terrible. 2 specced people everywhere you looked. I don't see them rising above 15 or 20m.

 

 

 

If you're paying attention, it is REALLY easy to detect anyways. I mean, if you see 2 hits pop up instantly, without anything flying at you, you're getting attacked by melee. I don't die to claws unless pjed or something usually. Rushers just fail.

And that's why F2P pking is better :thumbup:

 

 

 

+1

Using cover eliminates their Melee attacks. They still have Magic and Ranged to kill you with, and those are a lot more dangerous than their Melee.
