Original message details are unavailable.
dont get how they think claws were op and adding something like this new maul would not be.


Because they had the highest average damage per spec in the game.. There's a reason that claws were the weapon of choice for both pvmers and rushers.

The maul is far more balanced. Even the chaotic maul was more balanced considering how vulnerable it made one to venge.
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.

New rewards sound so much better than what was offered before!

Only gripe is that the elder wand's name is an EXACT copy of the name of the ultra rare-super powerful wand from the harry potter series... Is this really not a copyright issue?

Dragon sword YES FINALLY :D I have been waiting for that update since... the start of runescape 2. I hope it will look like a sword, by that i mean two-edged like the other swords ingame.

A little sad that the sword is that weak though, a maxed pure would hit 45 tops with it, opposed to the dragon warhammer which hits.. yeh.. A maxed account would hit 54-ish which is quite close to the wine whip auto attack. Anyway I am happy about the update as it is something that i have waited a loooooong time for.

Of course not, lol. Do you know the number of "Elder Wand" items there are in games? It's 2 very generic words. The only way they could be gotten for copyright is if the wand looked like the one described in the books or used in the movies.
Nope.

Really if there going to add dragon platebody they should just add d claws aswell and forgot adding another chaotic maul to the game.I dont get how they think claws were op and adding something like this new maul would not be.


...because claws could hit HIGHER than the AGS special? The maul will only hit 4 higher than the AGS swing does, NOT the special.

You can hit 70s with AGS special in D'hide... this maul maxes out at 71 on slayer task.
Nope.

Loving the Variety. :)

Possible Concept Rewards -
Possibly Introduce an upgrade for the Armadyl crossbow from raids as a reward?
High level mage arena spells introduced or maybe possible buffs to go with the existing spells.
Raid Pets that give stat buffs. 2016 Wolpertinger? LOL bring back summoning pl0x lel.
Upgrade to make the Tzhaar Staff 1 handed?-- would look hawt in my opinion.
Poll to introduce Dragon Claws as a raid reward. They'll pass some day ;)
Introduce 80+ "Possibly 90 LOL" Attack tier weapons. DON'T STOP AT 75!
"Pures with High attack levels need something to abuse mains with brah for reals. ;) "
~MORE PURE ITEMS. COSMETICS. FASHIONSCAPE~
Tokhaar Kal soon? "Inferno Cape"???? next year?? L00KING FORWARD TO IT.

Anyways, good job on the variety inputs. This game definitely needs more of it!
10/10 2016/2017 is going to be an epic year for osrs.

Remember though. Phoenix Necklace and combo eating > Dragon claws. Never get kod that way. :)

Thoughts:

- Elder maul should be 1 tick slower than godswords to make up for the higher strength bonus.
- Elder wand should have an attack requirement of 60-70, its mêlee stats are way too good for 1 attack.
- Kodai robes should have a defence requirement of 60. Mystic and infinity have defence requirements as well, even without mêlee defence bonusses.

The Elder Maul should be at least as accurate as a godsword and should have +132 crush attack bonus if not higher (+140 - +145). This weapon seems mostly designed for PVP so it does not seem useful when most armor has higher crush defence then slash defence unless its accuracy bonus is buffed. Barrows melee gear is practicly the only thing this would be useful against with current stats.

The Elder Wand should have its magic attack bonus brought down to around +20 - +25. The Elder Wand should have its melee stats removed or add an attack level requirement to it. I would prefer to see the melee stats removed then adding an attack level to yet another magic weapon.

The Kodai Robes should have either the negative melee and range attack bonuses or the 0 melee defence bonuses not both. I would prefer to see keeping the negative offensive bonuses and keeping the melee defence as magic is suppose to beat melee in the combat triangle and I feel meleescape bias is affecting this. I also think the prayer bonus of the robes should be brought in-line with Bandos and Armadyl with +1 prayer bonus per piece.

I would like to see preserve prevent stats from lowering from overtime effects (outside forces such as cold or enemy special attack can lower them) while prayer is active. (has to be on for at least 10 seconds for it to prevent stat drop [to prevent flick] and have a high prayer drain rate somewhere around 25 points per minute with 0 prayer bonus)

Edit: just noticed the robes said 75 magic and prayer requirement the requirement should be defence not prayer.
