@ Ne b
I agree with you completely, i strongly dont support damage soaking, However, not sure your idea would work eather, (replace dharok's greataxe with ags?) Personally, i think if they wanted to do anything, to improve the usability of barrows, make ahrims staff 1 handed (to be honest thats why its not used, lowering strength by 5 levels really isnt that bad) Torags lowering run energy is useless, and Karil's lowering agility is useless possibly rework them.
^^^
I disagree with that i think they should be kept the same, karil's was great for melee,
Torag's was dirt cheap due to haveing no set effect.
Ahrim's who cared about the staff, it owend.
Anyone who says Bandos devalued Barrows is insane, up to the day eoc was released, you could find dh pker's in the wildy still doing good and getting kills. Same with guthan's for slayer. . . Karils for pures at fight caves (fyi ammy would make fight caves a joke)

@ Enslaved
I agree with you 110% on the amulet barrows being devalued is crazy,
I mostly agree with you on the Sol, the spec they have is stupid. (See C-bow)
I mostly agree with you on the arma C-bow, noone mainly wants a spec for it, and all the ideas are boring and unoriginal, plus +10 is a joke when range's problem is rarely missing. Only real reason i would like it as a ranger, is for high risk pk fights, as a weapon for increasing my risk, while also increasing my stats, instead of just haveing to pull cash or something. (same reason on staff)
I dont care about a timer after the fight, i dont need one, its mainly during the middle of the fight that i thought they where talking about, i can shark/brew/pray in like 1/4 second after a fight, but during a fight im at half health, not praying or safing, im kinda on the fence with that one.
@ R U Insane
You are insane, Bgs spec had all kinds of uses, in and out of pvp, at best i could consider lowering spec to 75% but still that would be a big advantage in pvm. Plus the need to repot in pvp.

If you bring in staff of light make sure it isn't abused for staking please. When trade limit was removed again people used staff of light as a melee wep in duels because of its high melee stats and its special attack that cuts their opponents melee damage in half. It's a mage staff after all it shouldn't have such a huge advantage over dds/whips in melee verus melee fights.

Ahh, I meant the Armour pieces - Just like void sets which use the Deflector still require the helms to have an affect, maybe barrows would still require the weapon to have the affect, to prevent as you said, DH+AGS massive combos haha!

Cheers mate

Here are some simple solutions to the problems those have mentioned in the previous pages throughout the thread.

Staff of light:


Allow the staff of light to be used in melee only duels however set the special attack to magic based so that it will not give players unfair advantages and or make dds/whip staking obsolete.

Addy bars:


In my opinion the addy bars did have something unique about them. That was that it rewarded players who were having to grind out the KC to get to arma. Making maybe 200k-400k payed for a loss of supplies and half an hour of time to get into the armadyl chamber. I was going to suggest reducing the frequency of the addy bar drops however I feel that this would possibly still become prone to botting. My suggestion is to perhaps drop a selection of noted herbs at a frequent enough basis that they could be slightly profitable but not so much that it would effect farmers etc. If not herbs then maybe other items such as alchables like rune daggers, rune meds, addy plates etc. Again, not too frequently as this could cause a an excessive amount of gold to enter the game.

The suggestions might not be rock solid but you get the point im getting across.

Ahh, ok, this makes alot more sense then, not so much against this then, still say that i like barrows the way it is, mainly simply because the people who said gwd equipment would make it obsolete are so dead wrong its not even funny. . .
Plus this would allow for alot of op setups, using ahrims set with say torags plate, Veracs with proselyte chest, Guthans/dharoks/veracs with karil's top, karil's with torags/veracs helm, (this would actually make karils pretty damn beast in pvp), torags, however would still be relatively laughable, hammers are a joke.

what about asking questions differently giving them more options...
For example "Some people think the Armadyl Godsword will be too OP. What do you want us to do about that?
1. Don't change it
2. Reduce stats
3. Change so that the AGS will take 60% of your special attack bar"

Because the way it stands people only get to choose between two things.

And about the boots.. Why not put some slayer requirements to use the boots like the wine whip for example? Or make it untradeable or something. I'd really like to see more suggestions to every question rather than "yes, no"....

Alchables kind of like Rune daggers (+p) and Rune crossbow limbs? Are those possibly the kind of alchables your suggesting they add to the avianse drop tables?
