RANGE vs MAGE

Featured Replies

Post which you like better :D

 

 

 

for me its Mage 4 Lyfe :lol:

Range is far superior to magic in F2p. With 99 range, you can kill people in full rune frequently, and mages don't stand a chance. Arrows may not hit extremely hard, but they hit so fast, it's like a barrage of death.

 

 

 

My vote is for range any day of the week.

As a former RSC player, I have a love for all three types. Back in the old game, you could actually be all three. You could go up to someone in the wilderness and feel free to thwack at them any number of ways. Now adays, its so specialized...

 

 

 

I'd have to go with mage. What can I say? It ain't called RUNEscape for nothing.

Haha good point :D

 

 

 

I started raising range in f2p cuz it was the most affordable of the three and i havent stopped since then :lol:

Please refer to my stats for the answer to this question. Any further questions will be answerable after the BEEP.

 

 

 

*beeeeep*

On the flip side, it's been proven that women are probably better mothers

Yes I have balls, but they melted.

I'll say mage, since I don't really like magic too well. I like to stick to good ol' fanisoned Medieval warfare. (meele and range).

 

I've only got 25 mage to varrock tele and proud of it! :lol:

Mage since its so versatile, u can use it to high alchem, superheat, etc.

Magic, its a lot more useful not just in pking, but in runescape. :)

 

 

 

I mean, don't you rather have the useful teleport spells and alch spells?

100% agreed :D

It's easy to prefer magic

 

because a level 35 mage will beat a level 40 warrior

 

but a level 99 warrior will pwn a level 99 mage yet

 

a clever level 99 ranger could beat the mage and

 

the warrior.

 

The Ranger beats the Mage because of the weapons triangle.

 

The Ranger beats the Warrior if he hides behind stuff and keeps moving.

 

 

 

Magic is slow. 3 arrows to one fire wave. And on rapid? About 9.

 

Arrows for ever!

mage owns all k rs2 product?
lol, just the fact that you used that word is funny, even if you did play RSC.

 

 

 

i'm no pker, but i just know from common knowledge that range is better for pking, especially in obstacle ridden areas, but magic is more practical because of its other uses. so...

 

 

 

tie.

here's my first post on the TIF (scroll to the bottom)

feel free to pm me, but do make sure that i know you're a Tip.It user (in other words, give me a HYT)

will id have to go with mage because well im lvl 38 mage and i hit 12s so thats pretty good with range u hit like 7s or 8s

Magic is just so more versatile, I like range but I sometimes I feel its only purpose is to be the destroyer of magic. many people only train it to 40 so they can get some basic magic protection.

At lower levels mages are more reliable in pking (higher hits). But at higher levels (say about 38+) a ranger would win anyday.

 

Rangers are still able to use mage spells without altering their stats...just got to plan right.

well tb and tangle vs 20 20 spec with potted 85 range

 

 

 

(i love my msb )

 

 

 

Magic is a more rewarding skill which i am in the process of getting to 85, but id say range every time.

CANE

 

Just to be different.

 

Think about it. A freaking Dragon Cane with a Dragonstone gem.

The spec will simply your character equiping a glove and beachslapping the enemy, who will break down and do the Cry emote for 10 seconds straight.

my pick is range. mage has some really cool stuff in it (alchin, teleing) but its just way too expensive for me. I'd rather pay like 4 gp a shot with range than 150 with mage. and who else is disturbed by the cost of mistic? green d hide is way cheaper :D

Ranged all the way!

 

 

 

Why?

 

 

 

Because for anyone who has good ranged, they can easily shoot some high numbers at a higher rate than magic. Even though magic can hit the upper-teens, it doesn't fire quite as rapid as ranged does.

 

 

 

Go ranged!
