dec_stile Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 As most of you know everyone thinks ranged is underpowered. A new bow wouldn't help much because we have loads of new bows already but only use MSB or CB because they are still the best. So therefore why not new armour? People know Dragonhide gives you a good ranged attack bonus, good magic defense bonus but extremely poor melee bonus. Demonskin could balance this out, by in fact giving a poor magic bonus but a good melee bonus, the different skins are available depending on their corresponding colour of dragonhide. Green demonskin can be used at the same ranged level as green dragonhide which is 40. Same goes for blue demonskin which is available at 50 ranged and etc. Now some people would say this would overpower pures but how about we add a defense requirement as well so pures will find it hard to access unless they are tank pures. Green demonskin = 40 Defense Blue demonskin = 50 Defense Red Demonskin = 60 Defense Black Demonskin = 70 Defense And for level 90 rangers and lvl 90 defense people a special demonskin is available called Gold Demonskin, this demonskin has wings at the back that give you an agility bonus of +5 while the full set is worn. Each piece of demonskin is crafted with the crafting level corresponding to the dragonhide crafting requirement as well. However the way the demonskin is obtained is different. Black Demons (lvl 172) will drop Black Demonskin And 3 new demons will be added to the game Nature Demons (lvl 96) will drop Green Demonskin (found underground in Shilo Village) Lava Demons (level 102) will drop Red Demonskin (found near the lesser demons in karamja) Ocean Demons (lvl 112) will drop Blue demonskin (Found in an extension to the cave you kill the bearman in mountain daughter) Post and tell me what you think? ^^^Thanks to flame_guy3 for this sig^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dec_stile Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 that might not be what the majority of players might think. This could solve some of the rants of "Range is underpowered," to be honest with you i think the dragonhide doesnt even provide a great magic defense ive been hit 20s - 30s on when wearing green d hide and seen others wearing black d hide getting hit 20s - 30s as well by powerful spells. And its just as useless against melee. ^^^Thanks to flame_guy3 for this sig^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomnameless Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 They should leave the skill how they are. IF they change one, then other people will beg to have their skills better. Then it will contune on till you can one hit a person with 99 hp, with out puting yourself in too much danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inferno_char Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Why ask for new range equipment just after hunter has been release ? :roll: You now have salamanders, chinchompas, a new hunter xbow and bolts, [bleep]ed vambraces. What seems to be the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ts_Stormrage Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 My thoughts exactly... Range has the best all round armor with Black Dragonhide. has the most accurate weapons in the game. And on top of all that, the most variety of weapons to be used: Rune Xbow with bolts that can be enchanted with very diverse abilities. Magic Shortbow for PKing with a cheap weapon. Magic Longbow for accuracy AND extremely longrange (on longrange mode you can fire to almost the end of your minimap). Crystal Bow (very accurate, and does not require ammo). Salamanders which utilizes not only Range, but also Magic and Melee, making you able to pierce through any armor, and go around any protection prayers. Seercul to further negate the power of mages anf the ability to cast spells. Bone Xbow to decimate your targets defense level and finally Karils Xbow, which has the highest damage per minute rate. Then theres the use of Knives and Darts, and do not forget the Rune Throwing Axe special which can target multiple people. And then theres the Dwarven Multi Cannon, making training go faster then you can say antidisestablishmentarianism. Range underpowered? no Range underappreciated? hell yes...

ThurinEthir Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 At least it's better than your past suggestions. As most of you know everyone thinks ranged is underpowered. A new bow wouldn't help much because we have loads of new bows already but only use MSB or CB because they are still the best. So therefore why not new armour? Um...Underpowered? The new "special attacks" with bolts mean anything? Cannon? Throwing knives and darts being the fastest weapons in-game? And armor...Is black dragonhide not good enough? Pretty good defense against melee, not to mention magic! People know Dragonhide gives you a good ranged attack bonus, good magic defense bonus but extremely poor melee bonus. Poor melee bonus? That's the point! Combat triangle anyone? Demonskin could balance this out, by in fact giving a poor magic bonus but a good melee bonus, the different skins are available depending on their corresponding colour of dragonhide. Combat triangle... Green demonskin can be used at the same ranged level as green dragonhide which is 40. Same goes for blue demonskin which is available at 50 ranged and etc. Now some people would say this would overpower pures but how about we add a defense requirement as well so pures will find it hard to access unless they are tank pures. Green demonskin = 40 Defense Blue demonskin = 50 Defense Red Demonskin = 60 Defense Black Demonskin = 70 Defense And for level 90 rangers and lvl 90 defense people a special demonskin is available called Gold Demonskin, this demonskin has wings at the back that give you an agility bonus of +5 while the full set is worn. Each piece of demonskin is crafted with the crafting level corresponding to the dragonhide crafting requirement as well. However the way the demonskin is obtained is different. Since I don't like the idea, there's no point commenting on this part. Even though it's good. The new demons are half-good. I'd call them fire demons and water demons, like the runes, but if you want your names, go ahead.

oreocookie987 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 So basically its exactly like Dragonhide, but with a defense requirement? Expecting a good life because you're a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge because you're a vegetarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike_Logan Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 If demon skin gave a melee bonus instead of a mage bonus, it would throw the entire combat triangle into entropy. Meleer's would have a harder time taking down rangers. At the same time, it would still give a range bonus, thus giving rangers the advantage of wearing melee armour without the ranged penalties. The Range skill is fine. The Self-Proclaimed Pirate King! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
