Thank you!

I honestly don’t think any of the combat skills are overpowered. It all comes down to the skills of the pker, or whatever monster you are fighting.

Like any game, it takes strategy.

First post

Defence Levels ( not armour ) under powered
Dark bow completely useless without special
All armours and weapon under price

They are NOT balanced. Melee has and will hit 60+ with the armadyl godsword, range RARELY hits 45X45, and mage can only hit a wimpy 30. Range I think it is ok for now because it has strong fast high hits, but mage, cmon? I say bring in a lvl 99 spell in the ancient spellbook and it freezes, poisons, leeches 25% of health and reduces their stats slightly. It should require like 5 of every rune thats required in the ancients spellbook except for laws and souls.

In my opinion nothing is overpowered now that rangers got their d bow and made their c bows faster and stronger, now they can hit as hard as melee just a bit slower but its fine like that.

Mages are not so good in a 1v1 because they have bad defence and if they start farcasting the other teles or escapes etc. Though mages can really own in deep wilderness obviously and they can also own if they have tb, entangle and another powerful spell with them.

Mage is now underpowered. Melee can DDS for 38-38 with max strength boost, ranged can hit 45-45 with max power boost, yet magic can hit a mere 35 with all bonuses. That’s not much for a knockout. Granted, they can keep melee away, but ranged can KO melee, melee can KO magic. Magic cannot KO ranged, as even if they farcast, ranged can cover the distance.

I know of the triangle – melee can tank against normal ranged attacks, ranged can fend off magic attacks and tear up even the best robes with ease, and magic can hit about 20 million times in a row against melee armor. It’s just that every class needs a way to KO the class that’s supposed to win. The possibility of an upset will keep everybody on their toes.
