Yeah, I'd say mages are probably the most powerful type of players by far.

For the record, you shouldnt wear rune against chaos druids as they use mage based attacks (sort of)

just wear dragonhide next time it'll make it much easier
take a teleport as well :wink:

There's another reason you died too.

Mage is better than melee.
but melee is better than range.
and range is better than mage.

The pk triangle! that's another reason why you lost. those who use melee don't do so well against mages.

well my pure got staked 500k by some str pure which papend to be 60 mage and used flames i knew i'd win becuase i had 43 magic which gives magic def he splashed 5 times and hit 1 20 while i was in full rune

mages can be beat in armor

on members, it's true that mages are a bit over powered....what else can hit 30's on multiple monsters a distance away? and with the new mage prayers...wow.
but, if your lucky, and you get close to the mage quickly, you should be able to kill it in no time at all with a dds/whip

i did a little test with the flames of zammy spell

100 times with charge - no prayer

64 hit over 20

100 times with charge - magic prayer (mystic lore)

77 hit over 20

so it did increase my accuracy i guess

Mages own anyone who has any heavy armor on like Rune or drag, but they can be destroyred by a simple meleer in split chest and mystic legs with a dds spec and whip..

ya, or dhide of course. with those new xbows and a set of red-black dhide, range can kill mage easy

[color=violet]It's called PK'ing, no pain no gain. Anyways I feel sorry for what you lost and before you PK again, get some advice from veteran PK'er friends. Or next time, just take your best 3 items and avoid being skulled.

Mage -> Melee -> Range

Mages will have a low defensive and high offensive.

Basically if you aren't frozen on the first assualt you can rip them to pieces.

And if they do hit you then switch to range them til your unfrozen then start meleeing again. What mages will often do after they have been speced is run a short distance to eat. That is the crucial moments before when they can be pasted.

Mage is fine though, it was your lack of knowing what armor is good against magic. :roll:

They're not as powerful if you use dragon p++dhide (or karils) maybe an elemental shield on.

merlin6and17 · **Posted:** August 28th, 2006, 7:46 pm

A high level mage using ancients is the most powerful character for killing and helping to kill in the game.

Mage is easily overpowered by dhide, learn the PK triangle better. The least you could have done is took rune off :/ Be more careful next time

drag hides, you dont need good defence while killing lvl 13's...

i personally think the new prayers have made pking go bad as i almost got 4-hit the otehr day by someone with 90 range as i was potting to fight hiom, its made range way too overpowered...
