Overpowered ancients

[FrankyBrown]

This is what I've been thinking ever since they came out :roll:. Is a 30 damage 20 second snare and hits 9 targets fair? No.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hey dude =; anchents is not over powerd just get some d hide magic short and 300 steel arrows and your fine MAGE oWnZ

 

 

 

I use Mith Arrows and black d hide and I get absoutely owned.

 

 

 

Edit: And for the ppl who think a ranger could own an ice barrager go to CW teamed by Ice barrager and warriors forcing you to wear something like rune pl8 + Black d hide chaps.

 

you are 73 range, vs a 94+ mager using the best thing they can use, using the best thing you can use (karil bow/crystal bow/rune arrows) vs a person with their mage the same as your range using the best thing they can use (ice burst) you would kill them easily

 

 

 

I'm talking about a mage with 70 magic. D hide and mith arrows can't even own them -.-.

 

 

 

But still..70 mage using the best he can agaisnt a 74 ranger using mith arrows..Try using real arrows and see what happens :wink: (Karils or Cbow are what I use and I kill barragers-I'm only 80 range).

 

 

 

I'm not the one whos willing to spend millions just to win a CW game. I stick with mith arrows and maybe lower arrows :).

 

 

 

Then don't complain-they're spending millions. And to the above I'm sure that was just bad luck as I only ever get frozen maybe twice before I Kill them..

Melee is the only one overpowered.

 

If you don't think so then why does it take 99 att, def, str and prayer to get to 126 and not 99 range or magic, 99 def, and 99 prayer?

 

Melee owns all in strength and speed of attacks, aka power.

[Freshwacka]

Seercull, laugh, owned.

[attackyomom]

hm zam staff lmao it lowers their magic level if you damage and seercull spec lowers by what you hit and im pretty sure its bonus is same as msb so if a ranger hits say a 20 that mage just went 94 to 74 mage now tell me there underpowered

 

 

 

the only one overpowered is melee dds spec though i love it is much better than waht any ranger gets with msb spec dds gets 8 hits 8 chances to hit 20+ and if you hit 20+ everytime most likely the other guy is dead

[Rebdragon]

Seercull, laugh, owned.

 

Restore, Barrage, laugh, owned.

Maybe because it ownz :XD:

Don't whine, you earn the power of Ancients through the Desert Treasure quest and through the cost of the runes required.

[piman1053]

strong? yes, but they are quite slow

 

 

 

aceinting at c wars is the best waste of cash in the game if you ask me

Hellz ya, once I get 94 Mage I'm spending every last penny I ever obtain from DK's, Barrows, and Steels on CW Ancienting. I haven't gotten much into staking and pking, but excluding those Barraging noobs in CW is by far the most fun thing in the game.

This marvelous display of intelligience (or lack there of) is the reason why the quote chain function, or the ability to quote more than one person within a quote, is going to be eliminated.

ancient magic isnt really over powered, its more like its under apprecaited. everyone uses the ice spells ive honestly see 10 times as many ice spells as i do smoke and blood and 20 times as many shadow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

how is ancient magic over powered? is it because it hurts more then 1 person? or because it freezes for 20 seconds?

 

 

 

 

 

now im sure every1 here as been hit with ancient magic, but im not so sure every1 has been hit with shaddow spells...

 

 

 

 

 

if you every want to prove to some1 ancient magic is over powered heres how you do it.

 

 

 

 

 

1. goto world 6 remmington house portal

 

2. goto a nice house with a nice dungeon with a cage under the throne room.

 

3. ice barrage people in the cage near the door to exit it or in the center.

 

4. shaddow barrag EVERYONE with FULL ahrims, including the staff.

 

5. watch as their attack goes down tons and their str is effected by ahrims spec.

 

 

 

rite their you have effectively paralyzed people for 20 seconds and then you have hurt the most widely used combat area of this game, melee stats. attack and strength.

 

 

 

I agree. Shadow spells might be expensive, but they own warriors. They also look cool. ("What spell is that?")

 

 

 

Yes. Its very over powered. And all you people who say "just wear hides, then its easy" you are wrong. I remember i was walking back from green dragons and i had black dhide, wep, glory, and anti shield with like 6 or 7 lobbys left. A mage came, barraged me, hit in the high 20s and i ate a lob and put protect from mage on. Now even with hides, protect from mage, and food i couldnt get out of lvl 3 wildy alive. Explain to me how thats not over powered

 

 

 

Ever hear of teleing out? Ancient mages cant stop you from escaping that way

[frogmite]

nah mages are too vunerable, its powerful and when used along with melee by a decent pker is definatly the most useful style. But honestly melee far outweighs it. By vunerable let me show you 2 kills I've had in the past week.

 

 

 

 

[Freshwacka]

OMG frogmite very nice.

[alwin_loser]

own them in full d hide and rune onyx tipped bolts

[m4tty]

In my last game of Castlewars I was wearing Karils (121+ Mage defence) AND was praying against magic, and was still getting frozen 6 times by some guy in Mystic's Ice Bursts. Yes, I agree, overpowered.

 

you must have terrible luck lol.

[mini193]

yea they are way overpowered

[armadillo48]

Seercull, laugh, owned.

 

 

 

Only problem with this is, all spec bar is used and your not even guaranteed a hit. And even if u were to hit a 99 mage u hav 2 hit 5+ to have any effect. Also in cw this is fairly useless as the mage then only needs 2 die for his magic 2 return 2 normal. meaning u have used ur spec for nothing.

 

 

 

In the wildy a seercull is fairly risky too as its 600K which may not even make a difference.

[Aquashock]

No one pays attention to my post on mage 3 :notalk: I give up.

[22lucas]

naw it is not overpowered at all i have a pure range right now 54 combat 78 range (24lucas if u wanna look him up) and in the wild i loooove seeing mages i can own with there silly ice burst just bouncing off my black d hide while im hitting rapid 18s with range pot :thumbsup:

I did :3>

[Soulthresher]

ancients arnt overpowered, ur just underpowered

[he_is_an_avalanche]

 

Just because someone is rich doesn't mean they can be overpowered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's the way all of RS is. The richer people always wear better gear. You don't see everyone with full rune/whip go pking with it now do you? No, because they aren't rich enough, so they sacrafice and use less powerful items because they can't afford to lose it.

[Sanjetsou]

STOP COMPLAINING!

 

 

 

They make the better Ancients spells high lvl required to even it off.

 

 

 

Once again.....

 

 

 

 

 

STOP COMPLAINING

[archer45677]

it is IS NO WAY OVERPOWERED, mags are sooooooooooooooooooo easy to take down with range or melle in hides ppl only use ancient magicks to stop them running away and than go back to killing them with melle if u were to bring pure ancient magicks you are practically dead....

[captainpoet]

Take it from a retired RSer that used to ancient all the way at CW even before the last 2 prayer updates came out...maging by smart ancienters (no matter how smart they are) at CW can always be defeated easily. The 2 solutions are if they are the ahrim magers (like most are) to range them, but if they maged like I used to in verac then you just turn around and mage them to death and they'll die quickly. Past that there is the smite prayer to clean their clock. Seriously, anybody complaining about ancients ruining CW nowadays needs to def train. In fact I'd honestly be suprised if on any world a person could get 150+ kills at CW in the past month, without having friends on the other team and suicide dying at their feet.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Heh frogmite I'd definately have to disagree with you...people like you that are melee and mage are useless in 1 on 1 death matches against a person with range/mage. Yes, the DDS is a powerful for mage & melee hybrids, but for the Distance & Def tanks you're just a free target that often runs away from frustration and the simple reason is often addy knives and ice and blood barrages.
