Aquashock Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Mages have special effects, such as lowering stats, what melee and range can only do in one situation (d axe and seercull). Mages can lower prayer (oh wait, Crossbows have the saphire enchanted bolts, but they dont work that well, i got 2 prayer off a lvl 60 in castlewars, with him using an entire invy of bandies) They can lower mage lvl, Which goes along with the seercull and axe They can lower melee stats (enfeeble, stun, and the other one O.o) They can also lower defense with claws of guthix You can poison (which melee and range can do) And finally, you can heal (which melee can do, and with onyx bolts, range can as well) The only lunar spell thats significant is vengance (to pking anyway) and between higher level pking (like 120+) that spell can make a very nice KO. But your stuck meleeing or ranging in this situation, so your spec doesnt matter XD Mages get kills all the time anyway, they dont need a spec. ^^Click For Monster Hunting Blog (180M+ in drops)^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the effects that you have described make mage a side pking skill - to augment ranging or melee. I see many rangers pkign soley with range, I see many meleers pking soley with melee, but I hardly ever see a mage pking soley with mage. because you just cant get the ko's. You have to keep combining it with other skills - what ever jagex says, right now mage is a side attachment to range or melee, that helps them get the kills. ALl this does not make up for the inability to ko someone fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, you cant mage someone at mage bank and not expect them to slap on hides or karils. black dragonhide top is enough for a skilled mage to splash 60% of the time. Although, when i see someone without hides, i see mages get k0's rather nicely. ^^Click For Monster Hunting Blog (180M+ in drops)^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smapla Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 mages are so powerful they don't really deserve specials. Seriously, when we can take out a team of five meleers at once we don't really have room to talk about being underpowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
