I was really, really hoping for us to finally get a competitor to the ACB + shield combo with a
Zaryte style 2h handed bow
that would perhaps be great for DKs, Saradomin god wars and Armadyl to name a few. It would have been fantastic if the Snake boss would drop an attachment to our crystal bow in order to make a bow similar to the Zaryte bow.

pls

Basically it's a
degradable dragon defender
that also inflicts venomous poison. The bonus' it currently has over our current rune defender are minimal compared to the degrade costs and thus hardly making it worth using it.

What has been said by 100s in the past is:
'We want the dragon defender from the warrior's guild'
. It's the only logical way to introduce it and it makes no sense to give us something that is both tradeable and only slightly better than what we can already get for
free
. I am honestly baffled that you still haven't polled the dragon defender to come from the warrior's guild...



So much this. I would *Love* a Dragon Defender. Just as it was released originally. No changes, no degradation, no adding it to a rune defender then it degrading into a rune defender, no minigame reward shop! Just the dragon defender dropped from the clyclopses (cyclopsi?) or a more powerful cyclops that spawn randomly. Agreed...

Though I don't agree with exactly how they did it on RS3 as they just cheapened out, I think an extra floor to the warriors guild with a soloable cyclops boss or something would be a good way to introduce it, but I do agree it should come from the warriors guild somehow.

I feel that the drops are fantastic, I am a huge fan of them all.
Though I am entirely against the venom aspect. The items are good enough on their own. With these becoming increasingly popular it simply means that in PVP everyone will be carrying strong antipoisons, making the venom pretty pointless and just reducing everybody's invent space due to the antipoisons.

Support the drops

Against the venom

Two more things you could add to rewards:



Anti-Venom ring
- a ring that will prevent all poison types, however it has to be "charged" by using anti-poison potions on it. It will store up to 180 minutes worth of poison repelling effects, which only drains while in combat to the nearest minute. A great concept to provide indefinite protection from poisons that requires some maintenance to keep it working, also a great item sink for the lower end anti-poison potions that often aren't used.



I agree with something like this in concept! It would create another use for the scales the snake drops in order the charge the item, and would make it slightly more reasonable that the snake does ridiculous poison damage!

Perhaps not a ring though, as there have been so many of them lately... perhaps a neck slot purifying mask or something? If that were the case, it'd be nice to be able to add the charges to the common facemask as part of the slayer helm.

Or is this not a slayer monster...?

Just a thought..but maybe it would be nice for a change to get some sort of boss/enemy for people who Arent the highest and strongest levels in the game? Im getting a bit tired of constant corp, GWD, and various other boss updates that are mainly geared toward the level 100+ PVM player base. Im not asking for something that a level 80 can kill by himself and get a crazy expensive drop from, but SOMETHING for me to be able to team up with similar leveled players and kill. Instead of having to grind for months on end before i can do any sort of PVM worth doing in this game currently.. a mid level boss to provide a nice break. Just an idea, as it seems the only people getting any attenion right now as far as new content/updates (minus Zeah) are those who are very high leveled.. Dont forget your mid level players please.


EDIT: Also in favour of a dragon defender.
