Yes, the seercull is decent against mages. Crystal bow is far from being an "infinity ammo bow". We hit enough, so I don't care about the dmg. I believe you hit 4-5 times in 10 sec aswell with whip/scimmy, yes? Ranging isn't a "cash" skill. Karil's gives: 79/71/90/106/100, black d hide gives: 92/77/100/84/86. Now what's important here is the slash, range and magic defence as that's what most of the attacks are going to be. D hide is better against slash, but loses vs Karil's when it comes to magic and range. That's great, but we're talking about rangers here. D hide gives +58 range, Karil's gives +50. Rangers are kinda like mages, they're attacking from far away if possible, avoiding hits, thus making the attack more important than defence (this is my opinion). That and the fact that Karil's has to be repaired after being used, and costs more to begin with makes it a dumb choice of armor. Even if it was the same as d hide when it comes to price and repair costs (=0), I'd go for full d hide over full karils. It's not compareable to say Dharok's, you can't hit in the 70s, ever, without it. It's equal chances of getting it and Karil's and dharoks (I don't know this, but I take it for granted) costs more than 10 times as much. If we were to give close to the same amount of dmg you do when fighting (=using crystal), it costs 1,6m for 15 hours of combat, barrows costs what? 400? Many people uses bronze arrows even tho they take away like 1/3 of our dmg. And they still do it.
So to sum it up a bit: We attack at roughly the same speed, we have more +attack than you to begin with as our armor gives +attack, we do less dmg, our weapon costs a lot to use (arrows) over time, our regular armor is superior to the barrows one, it's the other way around for melee.
I'm not saying rangers are weak, I like them, and it's my own "fault" for choosing to lvl it up. What I'm saying is that things aren't right when compared to eachother. The seercull I'm not gonna say anything about as I've never used it, I don't pk much.
Feel free to tear my post apart and find flaws in it or whatever.
