Blutters Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 the way to bring mage and range on the same playing field as melee is to make it so if a melee'er is wearing range armor his accuracy goes down, and the same with mage armor. currently the only reason people think mage is "underpowered" is because a melee'er can throw on karils and be just fine while the mage cant just throw on torags. Agreed. However, there is also the fact that mages pay on a per-attack basis rather than a one-off cost like warriors. Being able to pack a certain amount of runes into one item and having unlimited or nearly unlimited usability (in most situations) of that item would be ideal, and I'll make a suggestion on these forums later regarding that. Ranged is about half-way between the other two (as far as ammo goes) and only needs to be supplemented in certain areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demby123 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 The huge cost of magical spells aren't worth using them,which DEFINATLY needs to be changed.The thing that saddens me about mage"not getting updates" is, when ranged or melee get new weapons,armor,ect. it adds so many new uses and conveniences to those points of the triangle.When meleers got godswords, each one could be used for so many different things. GWD,monster hunting pking,safe pvp,and slayer,you name it,theres a godsword for it.However, when magic gets some combat oriented update,it always has little to no use,(miasmic spells, a steam staff) or is best used with another class.(metal dragons,spirit shield) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BawkBawk219 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Here's an idea: Instead of making the Amulet of Range a slayer monster drop, why not make it a purchasable item via slayer points? Instead of giving it(amulet of ranging) +15 range and +10 magic defense, why not give it the same bonuses as a slayer helmet (excluding the attachments)? 15% range bonus? Maybe make the bonuses stackable with full void. And mages can get the same deal with an Amulet of Magic. Melee - Slayer Helmet (400pts) Range - Amulet of Range (400pts) Magic - Amulet of Magic (400pts) Names can be substituted with whatever. 'Tis just an idea.

Runescape didn't give up on Summoning... so the forums are never letting go of Sailing! If the CORPORAL beast is this hard, imagine how hard a GENERAL or COLONEL beast would be. a corporal is not even an admirable rank in armies that use that ranking system. Yeah, it is a pking minigame, so any arguments anybody makes will probably be biased.The best way this will end :Everybody just says,"I'm not arguing with you anymore, goodbye."The worst way this will end: I don't really know, psychological warfare?
