i was thinking...the way we use the maul, even cavemen know how to use it better.
notice that we have the Granite maul...primitive weaponry of course..but deadly in the right hands. Weighing in at 8 lbs, attached to a long stick (when swinging, gives the head the most force as by centrifugal force[that feeling you get when you hit a high speed roller coaster curve, all your body hifts to one side]) has +81 to crush, and +79 to strength. this is a fearsome weapon indeed, included with it half bar dran special, a quick, inaccuate swing that does a fair amount of damage.
this last part is what so many..dare i say it...duel noobs got uptight about. they didnt have the attack/cash to weild a maul, so what do they do? they gripe about it, in turn lowering its max damage.
this seems extremely wrong, seeing as a large rock on a stick, swung at about 30 MPH, sideways, would crush in someones armour, possibly cripping them if hit right.
for this reason people complained thet they did not like getting 3 hit in a duel, losing out to the guy who geniously staked a high amount weilding a addy battle, with maul and drag dagger in reserve.had they thought it over..they would have realized this is too good to be true, but they were blinded by greed.
now our mauls..that we paid 500k+ for..are underpowered, all because people dont liek specs...my solution? a new spec, returning the maul to its original glory.
now..the maul was not overpowered to begin with. costing half a million, heaviest weapon, making it slow as or even slower than a hally, with a half bar drain special that makes a fast, inaccurate but powerful swing, this weapon was accually lacking. but with my proposal, the maul will finnaly be worth the price.
Instead of a quick, sideways, half drain special, i say a full drain, over the head, huge blow smash. this special would make short work of some, and a good finisher for pkers and duelists.
you may be thinking "alright...wtf? thats way too much" but look at it..inaccurate because aiming an 8lb weight attacked to a stick taller than you and holding it at the base of the handle would be inaccurate, but effective when you do hit home. so why not? if i get enough positive feedback from this..ill submit it to jagex.
please vote, give feedback, or even give your thought on how to make the maul what it realy is..A GIANT ROCK ON A STICK!!!!
