Korasi's Sword: is it Balanced?

[Youmu]

Is the sword really weakened in multicombat?

 

It only affects the second and third person, the hit from the first is still the original power. So why is it "weakened"?

 

Regardless, when more people complete the quest, this will be used a lot more.

Well, the only use for the sword is the 150% boosted attack. In multicombat, there's no boost, so you might as well be hitting with a D Scimmy.

 

Also, is the Korasi sword free to reobtain?

[TheAncient]

Costs 250k to replace; might as well be free.

 

I would say it's balanced for pvp worlds, just not any safe pvp....

[DyingSilent]

Slightly overpowered IMO, for PvP situations anyway. As previously mentioned, the bane of Dharok-users. I think it's safe to say, KS is responsible for the recent crash of AGS's and Claws, which were just finally starting to rebound after the "back-to-school crash."

 

Multiple spec weapons is always a good thing.

 

And thank god claws are going down.

 

Not good that AGS/Claws are crashing, at least for us Mh'ers that make most of our money from Solo Td's/Solo Arma...

[ghjkl]

Go to dks then. Tds with steel titan will be the best money making method unless dclaws drop to below 22m.

In singleway combat, this attack will hit one opponent for anything between 50-150% of your max hit. In multiway combat, this attack hits three opponents once each, the damage caused halving with each subsequent hit

i cry overpowered.

 

why?

 

how do u protect from a magic based melee attack that never misses if im correct? dragonhide doesnt work, rune doesnt work, prayer doesnt work.

 

id rather get clawed or ags specialed any day.

 

im not calling for a nerf or anything, but atleast lets put a hefty pricetag on it to replace it if its going to protect over things like claws or whips.

IIRC either mage or melee prayer completely blocks. Also, barrage can hit 400's in PvP, though armor, its no more OP then that. It can only hit once, no b2b spec.

Melee pray doesn't block its special. There were so many 1-itemers release day that ran around speccing me in Edge through my melee prayer...

[SirIzenhime]

of course protect from melee doesn't block it, it's a magic attack

hurr, but its a melee weapon.

Same with the Saradomin sword. However, the spec on the Sara Sword is capped at 16, I believe.

[Assume Nothing]

Considering JaGex, it's surprising how well thought out it is. It protects over Dragon Claws, so no low risk high reward bh+1. 60% special means you can't double special unless you get exceedingly lucky with the timings of the special attack, the 'awesome spec' can't be used in multi combat and lastly, it requires an actual quest before ability to re-obtain it.

Thats why you wear the ring of vigour and protection pray with high def armour.

Isn't the spec melee, but it's mage based, so melee protect prays work, but your defence against it is based on your armours mage defence?

Apparently it always hits, no matter your defense.

You gain magic xp when you use the spec

You gain melee xp too. :o

[Quyneax]

It hits through a tormented demon's melee prayer.

[TheWilch]

ive been hit twice with 500+ with melee protection on and also magic protection on.

 

seems like it doesnt matter what armor you wear either, draghide or rune.

[DyingSilent]

Here's my theory on Korasi's Sword special.

 

1. It's magic based. It hits through prayer, and when used at Tormented Demons, if you hit high enough, they switch to Magic Protect. Finally, the special hits through Melee Protect.

2. Magic defense does not affect Korasi's Sword special. You could have max mage defence, and KS will still hit, because the special's effect is "hitting 50-150% of your max hit."

3. The special is unblockable. As mentioned above, because of the special's effect, it will always hit.

4. The only way you'll survive a Korasi's Sword special is with a bit of luck, and hope they only hit the low end of the special's interval (50-150% of max).

 

Personally, the lowest KS spec I've seen is about a 200, which I just hit today at Tormented Demons (probably due to the fact that they're in multi).

[stonewall337]

It hits between 50-150% of the max normal hit.

 

Personally, I think this is a good idea.

[Troacctid]

It hits between 50-150% of the max normal hit.

Korasi used Psywave! It's super effective!

[TheWilch]

i havent seen it hit under 200 either.

 

i live in pvp also.
