Hey BrewturCheek,
With your first list of solutions, they are mostly RNG based, which is something I'd like to lessen in PVP. They are interesting ideas, but that "chance" word makes it a roll of the dice, rather than skill based manoeuvres. I don't want RNG to be completely removed, but I certainly don't want to increase it. That's just my personal opinion/preference.
If these "chance" effects were converted into abilities, for example: if cartwheel was made an ability that evaded an incoming spell/missile, that could be something I'd favour.
Reducing all special attack energy drain by a certain % based on skill levels would need to be tested and balanced, so it's hard for me to support or reject that idea.
Charge - 50% potential bonus damage sounds too high. There is already an ability called mutated barge, which teleports you to your opponent and allows you to deal more damage by applying the next combo ability as a dot instead. This niche is already filled.
WASD keys would be fun to move with, but I don't think Runescape can function that way.
Second lot of solutions:
I like the idea to make most mobs intelligent. Jagex have already made many mobs smart enough to walk around objects and I agree that they should extend this to more NPCs.
It is weird that we can change our armour in combat (I haven't seen someone getting changed during a real battle, haha). I also don't like having to constantly change my armour... it's a nuisance. I'd much rather the skill component be focusing on abilities and strategies, rather than making sure you are constantly on top of the triangle (to boost your RNG) with armour swaps. To me, it sounds like an interesting idea with the equipment change spell, and having the player be vulnerable when casting it (replacing traditional hybrid armour swapping).
I like some of your ideas, BrewturCheek. Thanks for sharing them!

It is so irritating having to run all throughout Gielinor to buy back/re-obtain your untradable items when you lose them in the wilderness. Here is my solution:
Mandrith wants to encourage your pking by making item reclaims STRESS-FREE
For example: if you die in the wilderness with a fire cape, 100k gp drops for your opponent, and your fire cape gets sent to Mandrith. He will sell it back to you for 100k. This will include all non-tradeables used to pk with, with varying prices depending on the items tier.
I want to make this clear: I dont want this service to be a money sink , when you die with untradable items, your opponent will get the exact coin stack required to reclaim them from mandrith. Money sinking is a hindrance to pvp that should END!
I understand that my proposed idea has potential for abuse and here is my solution:
If you lose an untradable item and have not paid Mandrith the reclaim fee, all further deaths with this specific item will award your opponent the current in-game "untradable item converted-to-coin" drop on death. This will prevent untradeables being farmed for GP.
Examples of untradeables:
Ava's accumulator, fire cape , tok-haar capes, mage arena god capes, god books, korasi sword, fighter torso/barb gear, warpriest , void , blisterwood, surgeon ring, 6th age circuit, excalibur, balmung, barrel chest anchor, dungeoneering gear such as ring of vigour/amulet of zealots/brawler necklace chaotic gear, blood fury necklace, treasure hunter tier-changeable weapons/armour, lunar gear. ETC
Not only does this solve the hassle of retrieving your items, it also makes pking said items profitable. To be honest I really like this idea. As someone who uses Ghost Hunter Equipment I can see why this could be very useful. Brassica Prime:
Untradeables on death in the wilderness need a rework!

Truly to be the most delicious is to wield this power. The power to create and destroy. And as the most delicious of gods, I am the font of this delicious power. From me spills all the deliciousness in creation.

Your ambidexterity mechanic for defensive abilities sounds very good!
As you said, players will be able to react instantly, rather than having to wait for their GCD to finish when using vital defensives. Excellent. Removing the adrenaline gain from defence basic abilities prevents people from gaining adrenaline twice as fast as they should.
As you mentioned on my 2h shields thread, shield users will get a much needed damage boost from the bash ability, as it can be used in conjunction with an offensive ability.
Shield users wouldn't have to sacrifice DPS abilities. Currently they have to do either a defence ability or an offensive ability, now they can do both! (shield users already suffer less ability damage, so this change still won't make them equal in DPS to non-shield users).
I have posted statements that I know you already know. It's clarification for the other people reading this discussion.
The only issue I can think of is that, in PVP, you need to be able to read your opponent. If you do an offensive ability and a defensive ability on the same tick, probably one of the animations will take priority and therefore one of the abilities used may be unknown to the opponent.
Thank you so much for your post!
Hopefully a solution can be made for my only complaint, as this seems like a great enhancement to combat!

That could work!
I added your idea to the front page and referenced you, is that ok?
I can remove it if you wish to make your own thread on the matter. The New Wild (instanced) <---------> Enhancing Combat and PVP
