Honestly the weapons are the lamest things I have ever seen. The venom idea is so bad it makes me sick. Quit destroying this game with your sh*t ideas and just leave it alone.

Gz to mod John C on testing the blowpipe, It's more OP than claws and korasi combined especially against zer*ers/low def accounts. This is not what we voted for so this better be nerfed by tommorow or you can say goodbye to PvP.

Btw, people are already killing the new boss without armour and without food, talk about a "challenging" boss....And it's only release day, I imagine people will be killing it AFK by next week. playing rs since 1976, 40 year vet cape soon

The blowpipe is overpowered, but it's not as overpowered as korasi and d claws were. You are otherwise correct though. This is not what we voted for. We was told that the pipe's speed would be "like a mage short on rapid". We were not told "this only applies to accurate".

I'm sure jagex is aware that most people uses range on rapid (except for d bow rushers), so them presenting deceiving information like this frustrates me.

They can leave the speed alone though if they reduce the accuracy by a bit. A weapon that fast shouldn't be that accurate.

EDIT: I'm seeing a trivial 3-4% hit chance difference between arma c bow and blowpipe setups according to the accuracy formula.

Even if a ward was added with the arma c bow setup, the difference would still only be roughly 5%.
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.

I think the overall update is great.

I was tracking people killing Zulrah and testing the blowpipe all day. The blowpipe is definitely incredibly powerful, but that was only with dragon darts and dragon darts don't come into the game at an incredibly fast rate in addition to the current cost per shot for the blowpipe. During Sparc Mac's stream where he was testing it, there were plenty of people that did not quickly die to the blowpipe. Yes the blowpipe does alter PvP from what it was last week, but that was what >75% of the community voted for. And before anyone cries about the "fuzzy" wording between comparing the blowpipe to a msb, there was ample opportunity to clarify all details about the blowpipe while it was in development. So the fact that anyone is surprised about its speed on rapid is their own fault.

Comparing the blowpipe to dragon claws or korasi is also completely ridiculous; both of those weapons have single specs that are a more significant combat triangle balancing problem than this blowpipe that is essentially a dart-flinging version of the sgs.

Great job old school team, can't wait until im in a better position to take advantage of this great content you all worked very hard to bring us.
