Macmaster92 Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 range by far mage is jsut to expensive there are so many different kinds of bows enchanted bolts are fun to use (when a level 60 get stuck in jade (e) rocks and starts screaming cause he cant move) hitting constantly with range (mage tends to not hit while my cbow hits through rune armor) ava's attractor gives your range stuff back, nothing like that for runes. you use em and there gone. range is sneaky and pisses people off you can make your own armor, you can only make splitbark and thats too expensive the tzhaar obby rings are amazing (flying frisbees of death) its easier and more fun to make a pure ranger than mage darts and knives are fastest weapons in game both range weapons 1 word cannon seercull is dropped only by the dag kings, some of the strongest monsters in game its the hunter xbow not the hunter staff (kebbit bolts are amazing) there are no staves with special attacks that can be used to cast spells ranger armor doesnt make you look like a pansey (your wearing dresses for gods sake) Your armor is made from animals you killed showing your prowess bows are lighter than staves exploding rat grenades (first offensive explosion weapon) I believe there is no need to continue I see that you have a very good point there. Lots of things about range are good. But you failed to mention how good ancients is. I mean if i have 94 mage no matter how much magic def bonus you have is going to save you from getting frozen. And how is full ahrims walking around in a dress. :-s #-o but you also need to remember that even though they might be frozen, they still can shoot your butt off, i have ancients and its fun, but range is range. Like i said. I can still shoot you and ahrims robe skirt. key word skirt. skirt is a short dress. Point proven once again Well i would have to say that karils skirt is way more of a skirt than ahrims wouldnt you? In fact all the barrows brothers skirts are more of a skirt that ahrims. But yeah range and an ancient are a real close match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Magic is by far my favorite skill. Range is one of my favorites as well. They are both 99. I feel guilty wearing my range cape though because I got like 10M range XP in only a week by training in the secret spot. I don't feel like a "master of ranging." Though, I take my pride in wearing my magic cape because I know almost everything about magic. Despite their magic levels, there are tons of critical, extremely beneficial things which most people don't know about magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azielgoh Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 A bit of both is good, but when you combine then together and make a tanker...oh the wonders of that :D However I seem to prefer the melee+mage combo, seems a lot cooler!

Matey Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 If you'd asked me a few weeks ago, I would have said magic without hesitation. ...But now I've started training ranged quite heavily, and I have to say it's grown on me. I think ranged is quite underated, I mean it's fast, cheap and quite powerful. It's a close call really, in terms of combat I prefer ranged now, but magic has the edge as it has non combat stuff such as teleports etc. If mage didn't have teleports I would have voted range, but as it does, I'm going to have to go for mage. To hell with humanity;The more I see, the less I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhead Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I'm a f2p so from f2p point of view, i'll choose range becoz it looks deceptively lousy compared to magic. But the fast hits gives my opponents a shock and i'lll pwn them usually. International Society of Lunatics And Murderers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krampell Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I like Magic! I have always liked magic, its so cool, you can do magic that damage, magic that weakens, magic that teleports you, and magic that helps other! Range i boring, you only shoot arrows...

waaz Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 range owns you 8-) nothing is cooler than shooting 30s with crystal bow and owning you at far. Doesnt Ice barrage max at 30 too? Range hits 30s and is way faster. That is why im training for 7 months for 99 range. Dammit, if only chinochomps would stop raising and if my red mask and pumpkin would raise, then i would have that 99 range in a mere week. Currently: F2P averaging 35k exp range per day4 months till 99 range.(july) =/99 Range achieved 6/21/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakkun Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Absolutely range. Best thing ever for quest bosses. Mage usually bounces off them. :x The Zebera is getting faster!

Muscular_Ape Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 It's quite a hard decision, they both have great advantages. I probably like range in that it provides nice hp exp in comparison to magic that's often raised with high alchs. Ranging is more fun with it's specials and it's outfits, however mage has great benefits when you raise it up near the 80s and 90s. I think I'll go with range :wink: APE :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
