Would love to see Dragon claws in osrs, atleast just make them so you can't attack other players with them, unless you're maybe on a certain world or something like that. Would love to kill tormented demons again and use them for pvm.

As someone who actually played runescape in 2007-2012, and pked. I will say, that pre-nerf, and post nerf dragon claws were a lot more overpowered than barrage->ags->gmaul and void/dbowers... it's just too many hits stacked, and rushing didn't get REALLY bad until dclaws. barrage->ags->gmaul is 3 hits stacked, and the rush is over. d claws are a total of 8..

People are saying "But ags can hit 70s! But dbows can hit 48s! but gmauls can hit 35s!" - okay, so dragon claws worked like, the second hit was exactly half of what the first hit was, and the 3rd and 4th hits would add to the second hit, hitting a total for four times.. and assuming dclaws maxed 40 with the first hit, which is REALLY low for ANY dragon weapon, I can hit 60+ with dmace, 40-40 with DDS, 40 max hit is being VERY generous for ANY dragon weapon...

Assuming d claws could max out at 40, which is relatively low in max gear. 40 + 20 + 10 + 10
you could stack easily upwards 80 damage in one special attack, and if you led with barrage/blitz and stacked 5 hits - 100+ damage is possible. That's STACKED damage, from the ONE spec attack... if they gave it 2. i wish you luck standing without protect melee.

I just want to reword this to give you guys an idea of what you're saying...

"THERES ALREADY SO MANY OP WEAPONS, WHY NOT ADD MORE!"
It's this kind of line of thinking that led to turmoil, that led to chaotics, that led to tokhaar kal... and overloads... all of these items are very needless power spikes.The players didn't like these items in the game. Chaotic rapiers could hit 50s fairly accurately, and fights became so fast paced. The game just went in a wrong direction... and now you're trying to do it to old school.

I'm hopping off the train, because that it's headed for collision, first the monarchy of implementing jad 2 in 2017 though it failed a poll. Now shoving dclaws in our faces again.

I voted no to zulrah and blowpipe. I vote no to jad 2/tokhaar kal. I voted no to dragon defender, I was even one of the people who voted no to dragon warhammer because I saw the problems with statius warhammer, (if you make corp even marginally easier/faster, it will increase the amount of corps killed/h marginally, and there will be a noteworthy amount of arcanes and elysians entering the game) I'm upset that you all fail to see my points :/

There's just honestly no point in adding needless power spikes to ALREADY BIS gear. On release day, blowpipe could hit 45+ at dart speed. You all saw the problem with that, and rightfully nerfed it in PVP - but if you think dbow rushers are bad - if you think AGS - > gmaul rushers are bad, you didn't pk in 2008.

I NEVER saw anyone barrage->ags->gmaul in 2008. NEVER ONCE. I pked A LOT. Every day. I got d claw rushed literally any time my protect melee was down, and they'd stack 4 hits from a good 5+ squares away by venging first, and using that to delay running/animation. I wouldn't even see the person rushing me, I would ONLY see 4 stacked hits at first. And that would be followed with another 4 stacked hits, if the guy was wearing full bandos, and max str+, He would deal more than I could heal a good percentage of the time.

and the amount of little kids that watch sparc mac ninja turtle made the wilderness a ******* nightmare for anyone who just wanted to pk. This will EASILY quadruple the amount of rushers and make pking EVEN MORE DEAD than it already is, because if you can't pray range from the dbowers ( because gl not praying melee with dclaws in the game ) they're just gonna take turns tagging you.
BEFORE ANYONE REPLIES TO ME, WATCH THIS VIDEO ....
