Worst update ever! For any real pkers the dragon claws were the scum of the earth. This will cause more rushing (like there wasn't enough Dark Bow and Armadyl Godsword rushers already) these types of weapons ruin PvP, they cause you to never have a good fight because if you eat twice you get rushed and killed. This is so much more prevalent with pure pking where your defence is 20 or lower and you cannot withstand these types of attacks without overhead prayers but when rushers have two attack styles (i.e Dark Bows and Dragon Claws or Armadyl Godsword) you are never safe. Enjoy eating 3/4 of your inventory of food before even finding a player to fight.
A key problem with Dragon Claws and to a lesser extent the Dark bow is that with one special attack it can literally bring a player from full health to 0. Where is the skill in PvP if you have one weapon that you can pull out at anytime and one hit someone. An argument for them is that well if both players have them they are at equal capability, to which I reply that still does not show skill the only thing that would happen is both players eat to full or higher and the fight goes nowhere sounds thrilling to me not really. If two players fighting each other in Dharoks only fight with their axes hoping that they K/* the other with a big hit it reduces PvP to pure luck.
If you keep this up why not just release every boss from before EoC and then turn Old School into EoC and then release Old School 2, I joke but at this rate I can honestly say I see this happening.
