in april 18 jagex added 120 slayer update.
let face it guys most of us have already 100+ or 120 combat skill achieved,so it wont hurt add 120 combat.
this would add also add more balance to combat and weapon system + we could get more end game content.

I certainly think it would be interesting, especially if there were ranged and mage equivalents to masterwork armour, along with the new metals used to smith that, along with the tools and weapons introduced alongside it. But it would be a massive time, energy, and resource sink for Jagex, plus a bit of a headache for players introduced to it-the new mechanics would be akin to a second Evolution of Combat, which was already a rough-enough transition for most of us who started before it even existed. We'd have to adjust and figure it out from experience, and it would most likely be an absolute nightmare at the start. Just be careful what you wish for, that's all I'm saying. I would love to see it, but again....At what cost?

I'm not sure they'd do ALL combat to 120.

Remember, just because they raise the levels, which means more DPS (Accuracy, dmg, etc). We're still on T92 gear (T99 in dungeoneering).

They might just raise combat to 105 (that way it's not quite the jump as we've suffered with other 99 to 120s). They might just go ahead and do Constitution to 120 before the others.

I seriously hope they will start to rework pointless skills and stop increasing the cap to 120 just to force you to grind even more, ffs

If they were to make the combat stats 120 would they not have to raise the combat level to match it? It would be amazing to see it happen one day I just feel it's on their to do list but it's not a priority at the time!

The combat level is based on a formula.

Level = [1.3*max(attack+strength,2*ranged,2*magic) + defence + constitution + floor(prayer/2) + floor(summoning/2)]/4

With all combat skills at 120, including Prayer and Summoning, the new max combat level would be 168.
