What's the point in adding a new shield if the new potion kills it and the dfs on release? Also this is the same kind of potion that killed the dfs and anti dragon shields on rs3, literally ruining one of the most iconic shields of all time.

The solution is to make the potion so expensive/such a pain to get that only the super rich and ironmen use them.

The entire idea is shit. You need to rename the game and remove old school out of it completely. Just because it has the same shitty graphics doesn't make it old school or just delete it lmao

Love the idea of this quest. Am interested to hear more about the final boss at the end, and what rewards this quest will directly give. I believe that the ability to wear the chainbody should be only given to those who have completed the quest, much like DS1 gives players the ability to wear runite plates & green dhide bodies. I'd argue that this quest or another should be required for the dragon kite (as dragon sq required legends).

I see there is the dragon 'slice' needed for the kite to craft... how about calling it a dragon shard? Just sounds better imo.

What about an additional crafting option... putting a dragon visage with the shard and kite - combing the effect of the kite shield + dfs? Maybe a bad idea, but something to help keep dfs/visage from crashing.

Concerned about the superior antifire pots causing visages to crash. Some addressing will be needed to gain a vote for me on this.

Also concerned about the xp from superior dragon bones.

I do love the idea of adamant & runite dragons though, and understand the need for them dropping something better than standard dbones. Don't like the idea of the boss dropping multiple.

Overall, excited about what I see. But definitely hope to see some fine tuning and updates to what is being offered before the poll...

This is all so exciting!

I love the way the new Dragon Slayer II quest introduces itself, I'm very curious how it'll turn out.

I'm a little bit worried about the Superior Antifire potions, regarding how it'll affect the King Black Dragon. I really hope there will be some sort of exception to the KBD.

The Surge spells and Vorkath sound very promising, definitely looking forward to those!

I hope, if the Adamant and Rune dragons are added to the game, that there will be an option to block all metal dragons as a slayer task (just like how it works with Spiritual Creatures).

Surges?

Well it's not a new weapon, but having to give up a shield option (since it'll need tome to be viable) means it'll provide for more of a high risk high reward alternative to existing options. This of course, means that it'll address the variety issue that the skill has had for 4 freaking years.

So yes pls! One thing though, they should require the quest in order to use.

Besides that...looking good. It's lower damage then the pre eoc version's and this combined with the fact that fire surge will be dependent on tome of fire keeps it balanced. It using wrath runes also keeps it balanced for PvM due to how much more costly it's going to be to use than swamp trident.
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.

Why did they add a -10 ranged attack to dragon platebody the dchain has no penalty and the original from 08 had no penalty as well. Also making the d slayer 2 quest a requirement to equip the dragon plate and kite will make them dead content like the dragon square shield with = or better options available. What I'm getting at is the point of those who do quest this high end will have little incentive to hunt addy and rune dragons for shards that will be like the dragon shield left half in less than a month. Then cost a 2m shard to make. Idk on some people but i would prefer a high value fun to hunt shard than one that has no value in a year due to limited use due to limited people able to wear a dpl8 or kite. Could wear a bcp dfs which have More value with use. A rarity factor only goes so far.

Have you looked at the other platebody and chainbody armours in the game? This is a trend that has been going on since the game began. Platebodys have always had a negative ranged attack bonus.. At least in rs2. The idea being that you are more flexible in chainmail than plate.

Don't matter original dragon platebody back in 08 had no ranged attack penalty along with 3rd age platebody. That trend means nothing and was broken in rs2/rshd with the addition of 3rd age platebody trends mean nothing. Keeping true to what the game was founded on/ nostalgia is my point the old dpl8 had no penalty and keeping the original look is the only way it should be added. I'm not against new content but in the past year it's been poorly done. originality needs to be done right if they do it. Raids is just a much worse dung and mm2 demonic gorillas were just weaker tormented demon equivalents. Hard to like the idea of having a mage and ranged dfs almost like they ran out of original ideas. So yeah look up a 3rd age platebody and a video of an old 2008 dpl8.

Can the Adamantite and Runite dragons have higher Combat levels to correspond with the other metal dragons? These dragons should be difficult to kill.

Bronze(131)+ 58 = Iron(189) + 57 = Steel(246) + 58 = Mithril(304) + 57 = Adamantite(361) + 58 = Runite(419)
