Dragon sword idea:

The dragon sword special attack would increase the combo potential of melee in pvp combat by making a stronger and more accurate whip speed hit that could be coupled with a finishing blow from another weapon. There is no other special attack weapon that does this without the drawback of lower accuracy.
I think the dragon sword as it is is not strong enough to justify using 40% special attack to create a slightly higher chance of comboing into a pvp kill. I would rather have two AGS specials than a dragon sword special into AGS special.
I think that in order to make this weapon more viable in pvp combat the damage from the dragon sword special attack should be delayed. This would make it harder to heal in between the hit of the dragon sword and the killing blow attempt that would follow it.
One of the best ways to stop a killing blow attempt that follows a whip speed hit is to heal in between the whip speed hit and the killing blow attempt. I think delaying the damage from the dragon sword special attack would make it harder to heal in between its special and whatever comes next, effectively making it a better tool for finishing off targets which seems to be its purpose as a special attack based pvp weapon.

I prefer the ahrims as max mage to new robes, the ahrim robes are just so oldschool. We gotta keep those our pking vids :P

And I dislike new prayers, why make magic and ranged stronger, they are strong enough as is. Zaros is evil: "Zaros plainly requested the use of twelve legions of demons. (..) Zaros offered the secrets of travel between the worlds, to allow the Chthonians to devour whole new races rather than be reduced to preying on each other." From Sliske's Memory

I would just wish, that you could stop adding BiS gear only. You are making waaay to many updates to quick, slow down. You are, god forbid it, turning OSRS into rs3. I don't mind updates, but you don't have to spam out new content, especially BiS gear, all day.

Introduce some new low level stuff, some new alternative ways to do stuff that isn't necesarily a new "best" way to train something, but an alternative and viable way. Or some more specialized items.

Stop making new and more OP stuff all the time. It isn't needed.

Woah, a post that I totally agree with on the forums? I'm surprise.

It would be better if BiS content would be released MUCH more infrequently. And most of the new updates draw too much inspiration from RS3, it's ridiculous.

I also fear that it's becoming a trend to force updates (we get updates almost every week) on OSRS. It's changing too fast.

the idea to get dragon platebody and sword from raids can be a lot better. it sounds like ''well since we have raids coming, we might as well plug those two items into the reward system''. it does not fit the style or the system.

how about have it make sense for once and plug it into a new boss that idk....wears the d plate and uses the sword?

I don't remember ever seeing any of the bosses in runescape history to use dragon weapons or wear the armour it drops? What game have you been playing?

''how about make sense for once''

Yeah nice answer, You suggested making the bosses wear/weild the new dragon items I don't think bosses have ever done that, how do you even know how we might get the rewards it could be a drop from killing the monsters in the dungeon itself. does it matter how we get dragon weapons,

Anyway I'd rather see more high tier weapons come out as rewards for raids seems pretty pointless to add items that will be useless for the high levels that will mostly be doing the content

General graador wears a bcp and drops the bcp. commander zilyana weilds a sara sword and drops the sword.

bottom line is most people arent happy with how the dragon items are being introduced into the game. and how do you know if we dont get the drop from killing monsters and instead of a point system like dung

Venom Absorb prayer could do with an improvement to be honest, as there are Anti Venom potions out there effectively making this prayer useless, why waste prayer potion when there are anti venoms. At level 85 you'd expect it to be better than that.

Same goes for Poison Absorb.
