mage, melee, or range?

Featured Replies

which one is your favorite skill?

which one do you think is the most valuable for all around killing / bossing?

MAGIC!@#@!@#

 

Um, bossing... Melee is usually better, but there are a few places where ranged > melee, particularly Nex and Arma GW. (Only there come to think of it.) And then there are TDs, which need two attack styles.

 

Mage fails on every boss except DKS.

my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them me

Buying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.

Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:

your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupine

The only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

Mage is the only combat skill that can be used for skilling. That and without it, it'd be near-impossible to train most skills without massive running...

Melee is boring, magic is pretty cool, but I've always had a soft spot for ranged. Unfortunately I don't like most ranged weapons/armor in Runescape. The hexhunter is my one true love.

To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

Melee > all

 

Though I had a lot of fun maging Ice Strykes today.

 

Range is easily my least favorite.

Melee, only because it's faster to kill things. If Mage wasn't so expensive, I would say byebye to melee because freezing things and stealing health with spells is fun, fun, fun. Fun.

 

Range is too slow for me.

I find magic the funnest, but tend to use ranged because it's cheaper, more convenient and often more useful for what I'm doing (likely slayer if I need to fight).

i quite like mage because it has pretty cool effects

and movements, the deku nut for earth based spells

never ceases to make me giggle.

 

but melee all the time due to it being cheap, faster

and more effective.

 

range struck me as the "ugly" skill though, there's

something that makes me uncomfortable about it

so i look the other way when someone is ranging.

the one i like the most is mage. i just enjoy it. and its by far the most useful anyway.

 

for nearly everything that the goal is to get a monster from alive to dead. melee, melee more melee and melee.

with a side of drawf cannon (and extra melee).

 

as for range, well im struggling to get that to 70 when i allredy have 80+ attack/def/mage/pray.

Mage is fun for CW/SW if you have a lot of money to burst/barrage. Other than that, Melee is by far the most useful as most monsters are weak to a melee form (usually stab), and range is only handy for Nex/Jad/(etc...) because of special tipped bolts.

I always liked magic the best. However, it seems to be the least useful for PvM. Melee and range are much more useful in those regards. I still love shooting fireballs and freezing people, it seems more interesting to me than poking someone with a sword or shooting them with arrows. Magic will always have a special place in my heart, even if it is severely lacking in some aspects.

I like magic the best, but it usually fails at combat or is far too expensive for me. That goes for boss killing too. :( Melee seems to be the most useful, but It's my least favorite. :P

I enjoy mage, I find the lack of good and good looking armour to be a turn off. Range is by far my least favorite, and Melee is my favorite.

Magic; without binds you can't get kills on PK trips.

I find Magic the most interesting, to be honest!

Well in all other games i love range but in runescape range just sucks tbh. I like melee because of claws, therefore it is what i use

I once met a man named Jesus at a Home Depot. Is this the Messiah returned at last?

 

And i once beat someone named Jesus in a chess game. Does that mean I'm smarter than the messiah?
