ranged...(rangers check this out)

Recommended Posts

hi yall :)

 

 

 

a few mins before writing this i was asking myself:why ranged?

 

 

 

ranged is my favourite skill.i'm a lvl 87 combat with 90 ranged,and i'm not stopping here,altough i've seen the minpoints of it.

 

 

 

first of all it's a really fun skill to train....training is fun,but it's pretty weak against all other ways of combat.

 

 

 

as an example:let's take pures...melee at first:they can hit like 3 quick 30s with dds.

 

 

 

mages at second:can hold you for 20 seconds long and hit 30s.

 

 

 

ranged:max hit is around 26 with crystalbow,potioned,and very rare,plus pretty slow.then for the mage short,it's an awsum weapon it's fast,can hit in the 30s easily,but it only has one special...so far for ranged.this all ain't gonna stop me from getting it as my first 99 stat...but i think jagex should do something about it,so we rangers,can duel and pk together with mages and meleeers.

 

 

 

plz post your oppinions here.i'm sry if you see it in a complete other way.

 

 

 

but keep the flaming for yourself plz...

 

 

 

happy posting :)

OK, here is my view on Rangers and PKing, note I am 99 Range.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For all the time that rangers had a massive unfair advantage over EVERYONE in RS2, if they hit nothing but zeros for the rest of the RS lifetime, it would still be unfair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thast how unbalanced range was, so tough it up, you had your day, its over.

You only get one chance to live your life....

But, endless opportunities to screw it up.

How come when someones complaining about range being 'underpowered' they always compare themsleves to melee pvp when theyre supposed tolose to them?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And how come if range is underpowered at any given moment of any given day taverley blue dragons and waterfall fire giants permanently camped out by rangers?

There's always going to be a combat syle that will be better than the rest, at the moment it's melee. Chances are they'll nerk the spec bar and more rangers will appear. It's hard to get an equal triangle.

That was a horrible arguement. Sometimes the only reason people train range is for total lvl. That would be my case...and hes not comparing range to just melee, look at his topic. Its range to both. Range just doesn't do the damage the other 2 classes are capable of.

Ok well, crystal bow hits 22 max I believe, and mage short hits 30s? Noo, max with mage short is 22 and 23 with special. 30 is way out. :oops:

ok currently i have 96 range.. and no, range is not underpowered. range is good not for high hits but acuracy and speed, which is why mages are so easy. Once your range is high good melee armor should never be a big deal, karils bow hits through it with out a problem. the only argument i have is the magic short bow special. compared to the dds where its special increases acuracy and damge and it has four specials per bar. the mage short only has one per bar and it lowers acuracy. if anything the dds special should have been weakened, not magic short bow.

 

 

 

as for the damages... with crystal bow potted i have hit a max of 25.

 

 

 

karils bow potted i have hit 23. magic short bow and seercull 22, also potted. and my best special was a 22/22. i guess by 30s you ment 15/15

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

all done.....

Yeah what he said was confusing cause the crystal bow is by far the strongest and the magic shortbow hits 44-46 with the special based on hat pure_arcg_jr said. To the author of this topic. Rangers are stronger than mages anyway you put it even when they use full Ahrim's. If a mage doesn't pray or whip out a whip or another weapon, then the mage would lose. The archer can shoot nearly two times when a mage casts one battle spell. plus the fact hat mage armour has no defense protection and splitbark isn't really great in use or looks, except for people who use splitbark and mystic bottom (which I find pathetically funny) instead of just using full Ahrim's or something else. That is an effective money idea but it looks so ugly...Anyway..a fight where the archer or mage doesn't move and all the variables are controlled, the archer would have the upper hand but since RuneScape has random chances, the mage could win rarely. - That's just my thought.

well guys some of you are wrong.... mages were actually owning rangers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dont tell that mages are not way overpowered now...Block you from teleing then beat the [cabbage] out of you with damage spells. Ok rangers can still use this spells too... but did u see the -magic attack bonus on ranged armors. You will tell then use mystic mixed with ranged... less accurate with range now?

 

 

 

Thats why the seercul came out... but it didn't change anything... they forgot the dam stats restore pots

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

o well... i agree with this dude... rangers are not good anymore

I agree 100% with you. I've been ranging forever (actually 4 months) and I have 40 Ranging. It's pretty weak, but when you PK rangers get SMASHED. OWNED. They're bad against melee, their armor is TOO good for arrows, let alone darts. Mage's armor can be badly pierced by arrows, but now with Split Bark armor and the fact that they can hit 17s at the same Magic Level as Ranging, where you can only hit 9 to 10s... And also, there are Amulets of Magic (+10 Magic), Amulets of Strength (+10 Strength), but no Amulets especially for Rangers are made. None. Nata. Jagex needs to upgrade Rangers...

Mage is over-powered lol. Oh, and mage short bow with rune arrows is better than crystal bow, and karils x-bow is even better than that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ranged has the ability to hit constantly and at distance (with Karils x-bow), but what it lacks is the ability to KO.

You can't kill a mage if they have food left because range hits so low, because your maximum hit will be barely over 20, however they can heal 20 every time you hit. When they do run out of food they can just run and you have no way of stopping them like mages do.

The thing is, that it's stupid to pk as ranger, mage or melee.

 

 

 

Hybrid is the way to go, I my self use melee + mage or ranged + melee.

 

 

 

At the moment im getting 99 ranged, its a good help when you meet mages/mage melees.

Just get 94 mage and barrage like the other million "good" pkers that just use the same monotonous strategy. :x

Range IS underpowered if you like it or not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rangers can't KO which is really the only way to get pks these days, and even have a hard team beating mages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meleers can Easily kill both rangers and Mages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mages can kill Meleers and Rangers.
