indalecio Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 The seercull bow special brings a whole new threat to magic PvP combat. Magic is the only combat class in which having your level knocked down prevents you from using your best attacks (e.g. if you lower a targetÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s attack below 60 they can still use dragon weapons). Personally this bias against mages angers me. Certainly our effectiveness should take a hit, but not our ability to cast spells, for the sheer sake that high level spells use different runes than low level spells. The only spells left for mages after this seercull special will be snare or bind, if you had entangle runes. This special makes a mage unable to retalliate with damage inflicting spells unless they have a (super)restore potion or other weapons. Why should mages be the only ones to face this risk?. Personally, (and this is just my passionate hatred of mages talking), I think this gives a little more balance to the PKing triangle than it had before. With the recent addition of the Smite prayer, mages can entangle you, lower your prayer, and then blast the hell out of you. Smite isn't nearly as effective for melee fighters, simply because, (thinking how I should phrase this) ... hmmm ... When a mage is blasting away at a melee person, they can lower the target's prayer without any threat of retribution, (because, of course, the melee fighter can't reach the mage to drain their prayer in return.) This prevents a melee fighter from protecting themselves against the all powerful god spells, (max 35 dmg. when charged), and also means they .. and here is the big issue ... CANNOT USE ITEM PROTECT!! The whole point I am trying to make here is; When a melee fighter is getting maged, they are going to get owned. It's inevitable. So if they wish to keep their 4 best items instead of just their 3 best, they must bring a prayer potion with them whenever going into the wild, even if they're not PKing. So if MAGES have to bring a RESTORE POTION with them it's just the same. So don't complain .. sacrifice one shark to bring a stat restore potion, or run the risk of being owned. Just like melee users must sacrifice one food item to bring a prayer potion, or they run the risk of losing their 4th best item. This isn't really a bias AGAINST mages, but more of a bias IN FAVOR OF rangers. And yeah, I know that rangers are the ideal fighters against mages, but Oh God this is alot of text to explain something so simple. But I think by now you get the point. I would also like to bring up a less common issue, but a potential threat to melee fighters all the same. Let's say your magic level is .. hmmm ... 65, right? And you have brought with you into the wild Ardougne tele runes, since they only take up 2 inventory spaces as opposed to the 3 used by the lower level tele spells. Now, if a ranger gets lucky and hits, say, a 20 against you with his Seercrull special, that would reduce your magic level to 45!! Since the only runes you brought with you were Ardougne tele runes, this has stopped you from teleporting as effectively as a teleblock. Since warriors are less vulnerable to rangers than mages are, this is less of an issue, but still an important thing to consider whenever going into the wild. Consider these issues carefully, and if I have messed up somewhere and completely missed soemthing important, rendering all of this data useless, please feel free to shut the hell up and let me bask in my logical glory.[/i] Oh yeah. That's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timr917 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Great article...Getting back to informative articles rather than pointless ones such as interviewing Bob...you know, every two or three articles here is pretty good and actually discusses a current event around Runescape...hope this isn't your last article oddfaery Regarding lowering mage...I think it's too extreme. Yes, range was waay underpowered, but this is virtually the kiss of death. Nothing mages or meleers can do will prevent anyone else from being able to use their weapon/attack style. What gives rangers this right? Even if the mage wins, they're still weakened for a few minutes after the fight. all-in-all, great article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrerokz Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 i agree as a main melee i am bothered by this i have to use lowere lvl tele runes now so i am safe becuz i was pked by a ranger with seercull in one of my ful rune sets which sucked becuz i lost a lot becuz ididn't know about the new range weapon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said Those hoping for some new dragon armour were gravely disappointed. Aside from the hardcore woodcutters, most people were let down by the dragon axe. I talked to several people about this, this is NOT my opinion... Honestly I'm quite neutral about the axe. I wasn't expecting much from the update, or hoping for a particular piece of equipment. You've illustrated what I just said... people who are into WC are happy about the axe, some ecstatic (If I spelled this wrong I don't care I'm too tired to check). Those who were wanting a new melee combat item were not thrilled. Proud to have gotten 1800 skill total before access to fishing guild Why make a house when you can rob one?

omegacomics Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Personally, I think it's a waste. Dragon Weapons and Armour are meant to strike fear into an opponent. Now that's all gone to hell, with Pansy Woodcutters using a Dragon Axe to chop wood. Seriously. I think maybe a Dragon Warhammer would be good, or Dragon Arrows. But not a Dragon Two-Handed Sword. That would be way too powerfull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanford Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Did you know that higher level logs burn for extended periods of time? Each log burned has an additional 15 seconds over the one beneath it. This can be useful when cooking things "on the spot" away from a range. Log Type______Level_______Duration Regular_______1__________15 sec Oak__________25_________30 sec Willow________40_________45 sec Teak_________---_________45 sec Maple________50__________1 min Mahogony_____---_________1 min Yew__________68_________1 min 15 sec Magic_________85_________1 min 30 sec _______________ Did you know that uncooked Kawambwan is the secret to getting a free Dhorak's helm? Find some one who's dhorak'ing and offer them free food when they are at low hp. If they accept give them a full load of poison kawambwan. The examine doesn't let them on to anything and they should have heard of "properly" cooked kawambwan before. Uncooked kawambwan instantly deals 4 damage to the other person. The combination of them eating 1-2 of these while being attacked by a monster should do them in. By the way. It's not bug, scam, or anything. It's kinda like phats -not in the spirit of the game.

Silentsurf Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 The dragon axe is a good addition to the wide range of dragon weapons. I wonder what kind of special attack it wou;ld have if it did... probably something to do with woodcutting... Slash right through the tree or something and you get 5 logs instntly and the tree falls... good for yew/magic tree cutting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
