Thanks for the nerf to the ballista :)

Can you nerf the dragon warhammer next?

And AGS. Such a hard hitting weapon shouldn't be able to hit through 75+ def and 260+ slash def like it's nothing.

Jagex nerfs the ballista with the reasoning of "Too strong at low levels". Well..the AGS is too strong against everyone else.
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.

How is this nerf justifiable? Ballista was released as an AGS contender, whereas ballista is substantially inferior now.

-Ags: +132 slash -Ballista: +100 range
-Ags max hit (normal zerk gear): +- 75 -Ballista max hit after nerf: 70 (void + dragon javelins)

Even as a voider, I can admit that it was OP, but this is ridiculous. Please consider nerfing it in a different/ FAIR manner, i.e. not ruining the weapon/ economy with these autocratic updates.
Viable alternatives: Increase the range requirement, make it so that MM2 is a prerequisite to wield, add a delay when paired with granite maul (as THIS is the underlying problem), lower the drop-rate for ballista-parts to make it more expensive/ less easily attainable.

Thank you,
Void Deity

I could see a damage nerf on the Heavy Ballista. But why nerf it's accuracy? You just made the weapon as good as useless or only good on pures and zerks.

If anything, The weapon could have a higher requirement Like 80 range and 55 def. Or slightly buff the accuracy to +130 or +135. while nerfing the damage a bit and have the requirement to use the Heavy ballista at 85 range with 55 def.

It would still have a good use in that format with a lower damage...Btu Alas, Now the weapon is good as worth only 1-3 mil tops.. lol
