Veiva Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Just a quick question... How is the royal crossbow in the Evolution of Combat? I'm assuming it's not worth it or not tweaked yet; but I can't find information either way. Thanks! Edit: I have another question about EoC. How are mage/range in DG? Are they much better, as can I range in a dungeon without a hex or surge everything, or is melee still dominant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guado Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 According to their Q&A Thread [[qfc]311-312-6-63943427[/qfc]], Q2: Why has the royal crossbow lost that which made it unique, namely its bleeding/lock-on abilities? A2: In order to keep the new combat system as balanced as possible we had a choice of making the royal xbow a lower level xbow with it's special ability OR lose the special and make it a high level xbow. There were pros and cons of both but we eventually decided on making it a beefy high end 2h xbow . Page 2, Mod Avatar Imo, it should have retained its ability and lost some of its power - That was the appeal, and given that people who've assembled the Cbow can't get their value back / would upset the market if they could, it'd seem only logic. I'm not bugged enough to try to, but if you are, I suggest you make a thread on the EoC Forums with some feedback on it, and try to garner support, and Jagex could possibly change it, they actually *listen* to feedback on the Beta ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiel Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 jagex needs to get over their obsession with balancing everything at every tier. Special abilities were what made items unique and interesting, simply upgrading the stats is boring, and makes it so you always know the best gear for everything. DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

Saradomin_Mage Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 It's got the same stats as swift gloves at the moment (when loaded with royal bolts), when swift gloves regain their special abilities the royal crossbow will become an inferior and more expensive version :P In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Veiva Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks everyone! I have another question, this time about dungeoneering. Are mage/range any good? Or is still melee dominant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I don't think melee is as dominant, it's harder to use secondary attack styles right now. Magic was pretty powerful when I tried it. To make soloing easier, dg monsters are not too strong versus opposite styles.
