good for pvm bad for pvp
only the rich wil own and many will leave pvp
for example void pures got ruined,the poisonous hand cannon is as good as mage short with rune arrows on accurate but imagine on rapid,its op
You really think everyone will be risking them? That's just stupid... Neitz will be cheaper for pking and ancient staff + ags is better for bridding, more KO potential. Unless you're going for some high risk PKs in which case both will be using the staff anyway and both will probably bring antis. Also, you're like 240 total - did you make that account just to beable to vote no to things? That's pathetic...

6) Serpentine helm is too strong. Period. Plus 5 strength bonus AND defense bonuses on par with torag helm?!? What are you thinking? This is creating a standardized helmet for melee. No longer do you have to choose between strength bonus (neitznot) and high defense bonus (barrows helm). This helmet REMOVES strategic diversity.
I can't see it being used for much apart from corp, bandos and zamorak tbh. So don't worry, it's stats aren't OP.
The poison thing will be good for skillers at PP though.

Make the equips untradeable but make the scales tradeable along with the other loot it drops.

This would make for a nice balance, it does have the title of being a "Solo" boss so I think making the main rewards untradeable would be awesome.

The boss would still be highly profitable because the scales and other items it dropped other than the equips would be tradeable.

Please. Do consider this!

No thanks. I'm planning on camping this boss for a very long time, once I've got one of each weapon what do you want me to do with the rest that I get? I go bossing for profit - I don't need 100 blow darts...

Also, maybe there could be a "dismantle" option on the new gear which would result in a large amount of scales. So if you got a drop you already own, you could dismantle it and sell the scales.

There's a major flaw in your reasoning. If the equipment is untradable , the demand of the scales will be significantly lessoned. Even more so when you consider the fact that people will be getting plenty of scales as they go for the equipment that they want.

OSRS Mage Tank.

Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.

The pipe is a great weapon for pkers, and those will probably not be able to kill the boss (at least pures/zerkers). Making it untradeable will make it less popular.
Also, most people don´* want to play ironman if you know what I mean.

Also this person is right!

i look forward to killing the boss, however negative range stats should be removed from the helm, and perhaps the helm should also require a strength level requirement due to the plus 5 str bonus.
i agree with the negative range bonus being removed. It would make it viable for melee/range hybriding

Read my next post

Lets say you get a blow dart drop, maybe you could dismantle it for an item that you could trade in to an NPC in the beasts lair for a lump sum of gold or something else valuable.

People fail to realize that new content has a large effect on our economy if it's not done the right way. It's not all about your beloved "Cash stack"

It wouldn't have to be scales my friend, think outside of the box.

It could be anything that the community decides. This boss is going to result in millions of people camping it and then the economy will be swamped with these new items making their price crash dramatically. So, basically the same flaw that you're stating my suggestion has.
