Voting no on that new defender that poisons and is better than rune defender, no thx.

Also dont like the new poison mechanic, it'll just be annoying in pvp forcing everyone to bring the anti and makes pvm easier. The blow dart will probably be OP for pure pking. The sot* attachment is a joke... as if sot* needs to be more accurate.

Nope. It's worse than a Yew Shortbow w/ Rune Arrows. Technically it's a straight-up downgrade to Dragon Darts for pure PK'ing because DDarts > Rune Arrows > Blow Pipe in terms of DPS.

And the Dark Bow is already better in every way possible when it comes to special attack. The only perceivable advantage it has atm is the poison mechanic, which is easily blocked by antipoisons so it may as well not be worth mentioning anyways.

It's dead content as it stands.

@ronan

new mechanics and "venom" sounds too much like EoC

pls read m9

I'm really not interested in this content because it sounds like venom will be a large controlling factor in PvP... tbh the weapons look terrible... and tbh most people hate poison lol. I have almost always supported the OSRS DEV Team 100% but this isn't something I'd like to see in the game

tbh it seems a tad boring, even if its difficult i'm rather tired of new bosses and items coming into the game rather than the new content/storylines/D&D's themselves being enjoyed.

I am in HIGH SUPPORT of the new Raid Dungeons we are likely to see in the new continent however

. And THIS is something to be very much enjoyed if it is ANYTHING like Dungeoneering

Everybody 'round me saying I should relax 'cuz I've been going hard 'till my eyes roll back but,
all I wanna do is forget about my past and smoke a'lil ranarr, really nothing too drastic..

2005 CHRISTMAS EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Add a slayer requirement for the snake boss something high like 90 so NMZ prods can't access

And please, remove the combat requirement from Corp, this Christmas I could FINALLY unlock all music tracks, but now you added an obstacle without poll!

You slayer junkies have had enough slayer bossing implements xD

agreed (with os an.)

if your not gonna bother make it anything besides a solo boss it really is pointless to even bother with bringing it to the game if others cant join in with their friends. Allow more people to enter or it'll be boring content for a lot of people.
People voted for a solo boss. We already have a lot of team bosses and very few (no high level) solo bosses. no there wasnt a poll about voting for solo bosses and solo bosses doesnt bring anything really exciting to the game.. It leaves out team part of the aspect of bosses and is unfair to those who enjoy team bossing, i'd suggest make it at least duo that way you at least have a choice how you want to enjoy the boss or kill it, otherwise if its only solo it leaves out part of bossing for some other people out there which i think is unfair.
There was a poll, in the last priority poll the 1st choice was the continent, 2nd choice was I think slayer updates and 3rd was a solo boss. Look into things before you tell people they're wrong.
Edit: Also, alot of bosses can be duoed - the thing is that people like to beable to solo things, godwars is difficult to efficiently solo, corp takes a lot of trips to the duel arena to solo and then the demi bosses aren't really worth talking about...

Vennenatis is where it's at ;D

The rewards don't sound very impressive.

I'd rather it drop the equivalent of the old cape from Nomad's Requiem. Call it the "scale cape," make it degradable after 15 hours, and give it no stats except for +12 prayer.

All sides of the combat triangle used that cape for all kinds of activities. It'd basically guarantee that the boss never becomes dead content or overshadowed by future, more powerful bosses and equipment.

absolutely FANTASTIC IDEA! (but maybe +8 defense in all stats degrading as the cape itself does - similar to crystal bow/shield)

~~~~~~ new weapons are coming with the continent are they not? (confirmed by Mod Archie) so why make this boss have dead content if the new weapons from new continent are most likely to be better...? MAKE A CAPE (and/or boots with comparable stats ~~not best in slot pls)

these weapons sound atrocious sorry

Read closely, it shoots a "venom" not just poison which means its 2x the poison dmg, you need to drink two doses of anti as well as doing it quickly, and or eating because the longer you take to heal the "venom", the harder/higher the "venom" will hit you for creating an interesting combination of combo-out* possibilities ;(

Drinking 2 doses of a potion is easy enough.

And if you're using something like Sanfew Serums you can restore your prayer points back to full while you do it. Potions don't delay combat anyways. So all you have to do is anti > click target > anti > click target again. No attack turns lost.

It's only 'practical' application will be against pures and even then it doesn't do anything special after people start blocking your poison effects. It's virtually useless when it comes to any type of PK'ing where your targets have middling/high defense.

You can't expect good results from anything that has the accuracy of a Yew bow. And this is exactly why you won't see the best DPS item in the game (rune knives) being used in higher level PvP. The low accuracy will not cut it, especially with Void.

That and this weapon would surely cost more & degrade, unlike a Dbow. It doesn't have anything going for it really.
