Really excited for this :) hopefully I played a part in bringing attention to the Seer's ring and Mystic Prayer issue. I'm also in favour of a damage boost for the ring, since magical accuracy isn't really needed at bosses you would attack with Magic (except Zulrah).

A damage boost on the ring would give it an infinite value, whereas I'm unsure of how valuable it'll remain post +12 hype.

It shouldn't be seen as a concern to add more damage boosting mage items, since these really only have a practical purpose in PVM (and even there Magic combat is less used than the others).

We also haven't really toyed around with the idea of rune saving effects since Magic Cape perk discussions, this could also be a consideration for improving the Seer's ring.

keep the ring at +4 and +4, with +8's for imbue, but make the ring also give +4magic dmg%, and then poll imbuement separate for magic dmg% so that if people like the +4% but don't want an imbue to give +4% then they can vote to have the ring always have +4 acrross the board, but for the imbued version to only give +8 to attack and defense. If both polls pass, then the imbued ring would give +8 magic attack, +8 magic defense, and + 8 dmg%

as far as the ballista's go, i don't think the +15 str and accuracy is enough of a difference considering the enhanced speed of the light. maybe instead of +125, the heavy could have +140, while the light has 110, or make the light +100, and the heavy 130. the +15 to strength should definitely not be higher though.

Makes sense for their to be silver versions of jewellery, but please poll them separately. I can see why some people would have issues with the effects, but might accept others.

The continued ballista changes are good. Content should not be balanced around pures, so glad to see you guys trying to maintain its use for higher levels.

Seer ring is arguably useless as mage attack doesn't matter much in many areas where mage is used in PvM and even in PvP, a little bit higher mage attack will not make any real noticeable difference.

Are you guys seriously still not aware of the heavy diminishing returns that mage attack bonuses have? If you want the ring to have more actual use, provide it with a small damage boost, rune saving effect, etc. A buff to mage attack is going to do nothing as +2 is not even a noticeable difference.

Original message details are unavailable.
Magic boosting Prayers currently only affect Magic Attack, should this be changed to also increase Magic Defence?

It would make sense for them to, but I have a few concerns on the impact this could have to the game's balance. This could potentially make tanking too easy-especially once augury is released.
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.
