If dragon claws pass then we must tweak them, they're too overpowered and people use them to harrass people (even more so with the pools in house).


Dragon claws should be a KO weapon, and only that. You shouldn't be able run around praying and speccing people out.


I think we should make it so one special attack uses 65%, just buff the accuracy.


Okay the only reason ONLY reason I agree that claws on osrs would be overpowered is that without abusing guthix rests you can't out eat a claws spec on osrs. The game mechanics on OSRS are not the same as rs2 IN rs2 you could "rocktail Karambwan brew" to heal a lot more life points but on osrs this food combo doesn't work. Code the roctail Karambwan brew combo and sure. Unleash the full force of dragon claws.

Find me a rocktail on osrs and I'll reward you with 10m

Dear JMods

Really liking the idea's, especially the re-re-repolling of the armour; this time every set seperately - let's see how that does.
For the buckler and the 2h-shield: not sure what its use will be in current exsisting PVM-content, but who know what Raids will bring. Allthough from different opinions not the most populair amongst most, especially as they're afraid the 2h-shield will replace the Elysian spirit shield.
D claws are a really nice item to have as variety, and I think the community is ready for them.
For the Twisted bow - legit my absolute favorite of all suggestions so far. Not only am I a huge fan of bows, it comming from raids, and being only usefull on bosses with high Magic levels makes it an highly interesting item. It has potential to replace the blowpipe in high content PvM but not in low content pvm like slayer; should create some well appreciated variety.

Alltough there's a small downside: Woox made a DPS-chart of the bow showing DPS on some high Magic level NPC's. Showing DPS on Graardor/Zilyana will be greatly increased(almost double)while DPS-increase on any other boss in OSRS will remain between boundries. This huge gap in DPS between current items used to kill these two bosses and the Twisted bow will make a lot of experienced PvMrs vote no on the bow just to preserve these two bosses.

I was wondering if maybe you could make a change, somewhere, so the bow is just slightly better on Graardor and Zilyana but still retains the same stats and %-buffs as intended on all of the other bosses on OSRS.

Im afraid a logical solutions to change the Twisted bow in general is hard to archieve as it should remain BIS on all bosses with high Magic levels. Lowering Graardor's and Zilyana's Magic levels could be an option, but it'd surprise me if people supported that. Lowering the accuracy of the bow just for those two bosses doesn't really make sense, but it'd be a good solution.

Voting yes on everything.

Thank you!
Oblivion PvM

Tench AHAHAH said :
It feels awkward to have 2 new top-tier magic armours.

Melee is getting 3 weapons, range is getting two..ish (not sure if the throwing axe can count), while mage is getting 1.

Archie essentially told me that they don't know what to do with magic weapons:

"I'd love a mage KO weapon but we need ideas more than anything"

So I suspect that the second mage armor set is to act as a replacement for a weapon. Problem is, it has no use imo. We already have Ahrim's for a balance of def and atk and Ancestral will be for lower def, higher dps. So what is Kodai for..?
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.

My concern overall from seeing all this is power creep. While raids is a large piece of content, I don't believe it should provide potential for BIS in every category, even if the items are hella rare/hard to get. I love the idea of non-degradeable dps robes, and tank robes would provide an interesting dynamic and be used in places never thought possible before. (ex: blood barraging in gwd viable?) As for the twisted and elder armors, I still see lots of life in armadyl and bandos and range/melee isn't exactly in need of a buff right now, so why put those armors in? It creates a scary issue of power creep.

Now, EXCLUDING all armors
I love all the items and ideas suggested and will be voting yes for them. Every item has a very specific purpose and niche, therefore not devalueing previous items in the game. As a sort of "olive branch" for the claws, maybe make it cost 60% special attack so both attacks can't be used in succession? I'd vote yes either way but that may be smart to implement to make them more attractive to a broader audience

tl;dr
no to twisted/elder armors, yes to everything else, make claws cost 60% as an "olive branch"

To all of you afraid of the dragon claws:

AGS:
Can be 1 ticked
, max str max bonus gear: 82 (
200% accuracy
), 2 specs


Dds : Max str max str bonus gear: max hit
92
4 specs!!


D claws:
Cannot be 1 ticked,
Max str max str bonus gear: max hit 84,
2 specs


It should be clear that there is already existing much more OP weapons than D claws. They are nothing to an AGS / DDS for pures and nothing to the AGS on tanks. AGS has always been OPscape#1

Many would say "D claws is too accurate" because all hits are based on main hit. Well, it makes no difference to other weapons who is only 1 hit. If first hit on claws fails, so does the 3 other. Same goes for any other weapon in osrs except dds (fail / not fail) If each individual hit could fail on claws, it would be useless.


Would love to see a magic KO weapon, it would be nice to see some other use than vengeance of magic in PvP. (I do not prefer magic myself, but I don't consider my opinion valued highest).
