These are pretty disgusting updates, lol. Who ever thought of adding these items to F2P - wow, lmfao..
Snares
, out of all the new additions, are by far the worse. Tanking is hard enough as it is with Binds that last 3 seconds. Nobody will tank with Snares that go up to 10 seconds, especially if the Splitbark armour goes through. Some people picture clanning as a 10 v 10, but it's actually 60 v 60s. F2P clanning is fine as it is, and Snares would completly ruin it.
Yew shortbows
is the other item I'm really against. Rangers, in clan fights, are already the ones that are racking the majority of kills. They certainly don't need a +18 in ranged attack bonus. They'd provide an insane amount of damage that is completly unnessary to F2P fights.
Finally
Splitbark armour
would make it so much more difficult to tank. Right now here's the bonus that Magers have in the Wilderness/Wild respectively.
Attack bonus
Magic: +5/+2
Defence bonus
Stab: +84/+82
Slash: +92/+90
Crush: +82/+81
Magic: +17/+14
Ranged: +84/+84
Attack bonus
Magic: +19
Defence bonus
Stab: +140
Slash: +136
Crush: +148
Magic: +39
Ranged: +84
That's a huge increase in both attack boni & defence boni (yeah it sounds really wierd, but the latin word is bonus, boni (singular/plural)). People will be able to hit so much more often with Fire Blasts and hit almost if not every binds at level 99 (which a good portion of clanners have). It's definively something we don't need.
Rune Boots aren't as bad as the three items mentionned above. I could care less about teleblock. Attack potions & defence potions wouldn't be really THAT bad, since they counter eachother, but yeah I'd prefer to leave F2P clanning untouched.
Pretty funny that Jagex decided to poll new items that would heavily affect F2P clanning only to try to raise the price of said item. Who actually plays F2P or PKs there at Edge except for warring clans? Vote no on Splitbark/Yew Shortbows and especially Snares.
