I would love to see and item like the abyssal bludgeon that has no strenght requirements. in that way a prayer-tank build would be viable and something refreshing to the pk scene. maybe even put a defence lvl requirement on it to wield it.

@Mod Ronan

Have you considered making the dagger attack 1 tick faster than it currently does? It seems awfully strange to me that daggers are as slow as Scimitars/Whips in RuneScape. It could also be just the buff the dagger needs to be clearly better than and different than a DDS. You may have to lower the STR bonus on it a bit so that the dagger doesn't outclass whips and such and then perhaps buff the spec slightly so it remains as is spec wise. I feel like this is a good opportunity to make it unique within the sandbox

Original message details are unavailable.
The changes that you've suggested for the dagger would leave it able to hit far more accurately than the AGS

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the godsword specs have a 2.00 accuracy modifier? Atleast, that's what the combat formula thread mentions. How would a 1.5 modifier make it hit more accurately than a AGS, especially considering the lower stats?
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.

2 hits in 1 special. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.

That would not make it more accurate though, especially given the both hit or none do mechanic. If the first misses, both do.

Either way, a accuracy boost of some kind is needed.

x 1.15 accuracy - 5% dmg reduction to both hits
x 1.25 accuracy -Sec hit min hit of 5-10 instead of 1
x 1.30 accuracy - 15% dmg reduction to second hit
* 1.50 accuracy -15% dmg reduction to both hits
x1.50 accuracy -second hit caped at 50-60% of first
OSRS Mage Tank.

Those look great. I am so glad that the dev team is keeping their head with the specials. People who say they don't like the specials probably would probably vote yes for a noxious scythe, so whatever. I wish I knew more about the abyssal sire, however.

coming back to my previous statement, i realised after a while that this would just be another weapon that can be used by zerkers and is not mainly directed towards a "tank" style of combat. so after a while i came up with an idea which fits into the abyssal line of weaponry.

introducing:

The Abyssal Aegis.

the first of its kind, a 2 handed shield. which you are cappable of attacking with, although it has negative attack bonusses and an attack speed of 5 ticks.

the special effect of the Abyssal aegis is that it will block every projectile/ hit thats passing over it, including halberts and chins, but not spells like saradomin strike.

and as special attack the Abyssal Aegis will do the same hit as your opponent did +0.25% per HP missing, making it a decent spec/finisher.

the strategic thought behind the Abyssal Eagis is that of an way to push tanky(er) pk into the battlefield and making it viable to have an defence pure.

my thoughts on the Abyssal Aegis is that it should have defence bonusses combatting that of the Dragonfireshield, but negative attack bonusses. the block ability will come into play in multy combat pking or multyplayer minigames like pest control.

i would love to hear your opinions and suggestions, maybe a good artist can make a design for it, and all numbers and effect are speculatable. i just really hope this can be a thing and can enable the possibilty to play as a tank.

you can add me in game if you have ideas or suggestions and if theres enough attention for it, we can make it a tread of its own.

Thanks in advance, and the best of luck to you all*

I'm home from work. I see Ronan still hasn't returned;

Please, consider my reply and rework. The Abyssal Dagger still needs an accuracy boost and a better drain rate. The damage boost is okay if Mod Ronan has 100% confirmation that the dagger would hit 96 without the -15% damage.

The dagger proposal is an amazing start, but let's make it right. Accuracy is a must. A better drain will make it more worthy than the D Dagger. It's an upgrade, remember? And a D Dagger is 30k. With accuracy we also guarantee it becomes the top used weapon in hybridding. Tied by the AGS for its higher DPS.
