Jagex, how much crack did you smoke before coming up with this update, seriosly?
Now we are going to be like a bunch of indians, running around with blowdarts and venom dragon darts hitting 34s rapidly. Anyone without a super anti is a deadman. This just takes up more inventory space, which is already low for 07, having to carry around prayer potions and super attack/str/defence potions. It's even worse if you hybrid. This weapon will not be used anywhere but PVP, and the only people who are pushing for this are people who do slayer/pvm for only their benefit (CASH STACK.) The vast majority of people who play 07 do it, because we don't want crap like this in the game.

Add to the fact you have upped sub rates, if you implement this, i'm unsubbing. Period. I know trolls will flame this post and say no one cares, well thats what everyone said when a bunch of people unsubbed after the wild update, including me. Then all of a sudden you changed it back. So apparanetly you do care when people unsub. INB4 the trolls. My 2c.

I don´t get your point. You say:
- hitting 34s rapidly is overpowered (= blow pipe is strong)
- consumed inventory space (=blow pipe sucks)
- It will be used in pvp (=blow pipe is strong)
- It won*t be used in pvp (=blow pipe sucks)
- Pvmers can make money with it (= blow pipe is good, but you make it sound like making money is bad)

And at the end you say the blow pipe is crap?
You´ve confused me. Please make your points clearer, you use pro arguments as con arguments.

im going to be voting no, as i imagine most people will (or at least 25%), heres why;
1,poison is fine how it is; going to make it too easy to pvm (or quest bosses or anything at all) with poisoning then just safe spotting + everyone will have to pk with antis
2,staffs dont need any additional bonuses

the biggest problem u face is finding suitable loots when it comes to new bosses and quests and slayer monsters, its a big part of where rs3 went wrong.

The blowdart is a 2h weapon with accuracy only slightly higher than a MsB (I). People will not be hitting constant 30s with it. Many are saying that Karil's with a AoD would be better dps. This makes it to where the blowdart's only benefits are the poison, the spec and not being limited to Karil's, meaning a Torag helm can be used for higher def. This only applies to higher levels however.

I'm not sure how much of a impact it's going to have vs pures, but I look for the dps to only be slightly higher than the upgraded MsB..which given that it's a degradable item with a much higher requirement, it makes sense for it to be a bit better.

It's not just Pvmers that are pushing for the update though. Many rangers are as well due to it's special potentially be worth using. Higher level rangers being limited to the darkbow all of the time can get boring.

It has already passed, with 80+% being in favor last I checked. Most bosses are immune to poison and relying on the poison to do everything for you elsewhere would be pointless.

1. It would result in a drastically slower kill rate. 2. You get no xp from poison damage.

Lower levels might have to be using anti's more often. But I don't suspect many high levels to be using the blowdart in pvp as it's hit chance will be too low against any reasonable def. Trident does need more bonuses as mage is still trash in PvM.

I can agree about the SoT*, would have been more balanced if it simply boosted the poison of smoke spells.
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.

Ehhh sounds cool but...

yea not a fan of the whole "native american" feel to this update. Especially the blowdart gun. I mean logic would dictate the blowdarts wouldn't even be able to penetrate metal armor unless your lungs can breath with the force of the thousand storms.

I like the idea of upgraded Leaf-bladed weaponry; attach a ''snake tooth'' to make an improved weapon that completely decays in 15h.

The blowpipe seems a bit Overpowered to me, unless it is ridiculously expensive to use.
+20 Ranged str and attack added to your darts seems enough, especially with the "unlimited supply'' of venom poison.

The Serpentine helmet should have a lower chance to badly poison someone.

In general: this boss should drop many upgradeables for a vareity of equipment; this equipment should be(come) decayable or consumed in the process.

examples: Dragon Spear(vp), Venemous Slayer Helmet, Venemous Leaf Bladed Sword, Dragon Dart(vp), etc.
