I refuse to take part in this "conversation" any longer.

You are just like the noob rangers on the official forums. Asking and asking and asking but when you recieve, are you happy? NO.

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.

Ranges only problem is koing people. A 50% spec with no reduced accuracy would balance things again.

Normal fighting is fine with it, but the specs are simply too inaccurate to ko people. 80% of the time I'll hit a 0-0 spec, no matter what they're wearing. If you can't ko people, you don't get kills.

A black d hide body will protect over seercull, it is only useful against mages, it's slower than a msb, and after speccing, you have no way to ko someone. It is, however, good for castle wars/fight caves.

Crystal bow is simply too slow to pk with, and has no way of koing people.

Rangers have enough of an advantage in the wildy as it is. I get owned every time i take a trip the abyss. Except i bring food now so I don't die. Rangers can't kill anyone with armor on basically because of the circle. Rangers -> Mages -> Melee -> Rangers. So I think you want an update that changes the circle to : Rangers -> mages and melee -> mages and melee don't own anything, they lose all the time. Then there wouldn't even be a circle lol :P

i wasn't talking to you sunday :roll: , i was trying to answer the topic 8). i was saying that rangers dont need anymore great updates because they have a good amount of things right now that don't need to be updated until they become overpowered by something greater done with either melee or mage.

He's got a point there. I don't get why beg when we already have enough updates for rangers as it is. If Jagex released another powerful update it would mean Mage would be underpowered.

Well um gee, did you read the official Runescape manual? Using the Magic Shortbow special means that your accuracy in those shots is severely decreased. Don't think with 99 Ranged it's gonna change. Ranged only improves your damage with ranged. It's the armour and weapon that changes accuracy.

I dont hink that ranged have THAT much of an advantage agianst mages anymore in wild, the AM spells really kill ranges now. and the 55% special on magic short really sucks too.


And sorry Anubis if you think I am a noob, I really dont care.
