I don't think any of them are over powered. The whip just hits fast and strong. The crystal bow just has it own ammo and is like using rune arrows, mabye a little stronger but its not over powered. Acient magics is very strong, but its not overpowering because you have to be strong to get the ability to use it, not to mention how all the really good spells require a high mage level which most people don't want to get.

I don't think any of them are overpowered. Ancients are stronger, yes, but the runes they use are extremely expensive. I would say that if you account for cost, they're all about equal.

Personally, I think all of the mover overpowered... but of the three, Ancients is the worst.

no it drains the opponents energy and transfers it to yours i think

either that or it just drains theirs

i think ancients are overpowered but to be fair you do need a really high mage level to get the good spells

Finally, after loads of anti-ancient posts, a relevant one appears.

Think, a whip requires 70 attack and can do 20's when potted on average.
Just throw in about 2.5m and you're guaranteed to own, if you know how to use the whip. You'll probably spend about one million on the training expenses like food and upgrading weapons. Besides, all your money will be earned back if you train on stuff that gives good loot. If you suck at pking, say bye to your whip.

A cbow does rapid 15's when potted on 80 ranged.
While a cbow costs about over a million on the first purchase, you would feel that it was worth it. With constant max hits, and guaranteed safety, a few trips to blue dragons would earn all your money back in no time. You can make your own arrows during the training from 1-70/80, so you'll spend minimal amount of cash on the training expenses. Therefore, this is the safest weapon among the three.

But

A ice barrage requires 94 MAGE just to start casting. The rate of success isn't that high either. Not to mention the cost of just to TRAIN the levels from 1 to 94. Don't give me ******* about "rcing your own runes".
When you spend millions upon millions of training it to 94, you have to spend another few millions on Ahrims for decent mage bonus. When you're all set, you're gonna spend some more millions buying runes just to pk. Melee/range hybrids will own you if you fail to freeze them in time.

And then you'd think that having it overpowered is an advantage after spending so much on this skill.
