If Jagex nerfs the granite maul, you'd see more players using the Dragon Scimitar and Dragon Dagger combo. Then we'd truly have an 07 feel lol

Jagex, please consider doing something about the granite maul.

Also as someone has mentioned, please look into how magic defense functions in the game. An individual wearing 500+mil in mage gear should not splash on someone wearing full rune/melee gear

This blog was depressing to read from a PvP perspective....Beyond the initial post of the mini game "last man standing" there was basically nothing but same ole generic promises/statements regarding PvP.

The last paragraph basically said "hey we came up with, more leader-boards that we already have, but no no, these will reset every 24 hours" and "hey since we made rune pouches available from slayer, maybe we can give u some hat or cape cosmetics?"

Oh and lets not forget them saying "well we promised you stuff 2 years ago, and we didn't do any of it, so we will sorta START thinking about how to accomplish that goal now"

Pretty much nothing has been said about how to help PvP, besides saying "we want to make it better" but how they will try to get this done, who knows i guess.

Very bland and generic post, pretty disappointing tbh. I also dont understand why we need this "last man standing" mini game, instead of adding more mini games to split up the PvP base, focus on making the wilderness area(basically PvP arena in osrs) more required throughout the game, so that people would want to partake in PvP and not sit in a mini game all day.

Personally you guys are missing one key element, and thats "balancing PvP", you are too focused on content and not enough of balancing broken weapons/gear like the Gmaul spec, which combined with any weapon such as elder maul, ags,anchor, can hit insane combos at levels under 90 combat. The overall balance of the game has been poor, prayers dont even go up past 80 levels? All gear requires a 75 stat only? The balancing just does not make sense. On top of this, all the most expensive items are from raids which are flooding the market with insane amounts of gold. There should be weapons/armor that are very valuable that come from PvPing.

Overall pretty much nothing has come from this post as i believe it was simply meant to be a little bone thrown under the table

DO NOT CHANGE GRANITE MAUL AND OVERHEAD PRAYERS
The people actually pking and using it like it just the way it is. If it isn’t broke DON’T “FIX” IT!!!!

What’s to be gained by nerfing the granite maul?
Pros;
????

Cons;
Tens of thousands of accounts made specifically for gmaul 1v1 pvp will be rendered obsolete.
A high level slayer item- which is ALREADY valued down to base alch value- will become USELESS.
REPEAT- USELESS

You will 1 piece at a time change everything that is old school runescape until there is nothing old school left. Man I’ve liked a lot of added content and I’ve like a lot of the qol updates but don’t freaking change something that people have enjoyed without issue for YEARS just because of some whiney reddit opinions, otherwise you’ll end up with another mass exodus just like when rs3 came out.

A lot of people voted 'no' on PvP polls because they hate PvP, and on F2P TB because "F2P shouldn't get updates". That doesn't equal to F2P TB being bad for PKing. The problem was the way it was polled, if it had only been polled for people who actually PvPed in F2P, the results would've actually mattered.

Would be happy with the clan wars updates, but most of them should've been done years ago when there was an active and large CWA scene. Let's be honest, despite all the signals from the PvP scene that there was a lot of harmful toxicity going on, no action was taken (not a surprise with Jed on the team). If you really want to do something for the PvP community, start moderating it.

When it comes to protection prayers, it would make more sense to scale them depending on the number of attackers. Straight up buffing them would be unbalancing for single/small group PKing where 40% damage reduction is already a deciding factor. In 40v40 and higher, potection prayers blocking more damage would add more skill to tanking and overall result in better fights. If you'd want to test these changes, you could add an option to the CWA portal to tune howmuch damage protection prayers should block in large fights.

make snare f2p because a 5 second bind does nothing in f2p
5 second binds (2.5 seconds with mage protect on) make a lot of difference in F2P wars, snares would be overpowered. I do agree they're useless for single fights, but who would mage in a single fight anyway? In small groups they're still useful to keep a target in multicombat zone. I wouldn't be opposed to allowing snare in single combat zones though.

This blog is focusing so much on Pking and Wilderness, but there are other aspects of PVP ignored. Especially minigames, such as Castle Wars.. We have asked for multiple changes in the minigame update week and nothing was done. We tried to contact JMods and still empty promises. PLEASE focus on not just PVP, but updates that incorporate PVP.. Thank you

You did not think this post through very much did you? besides making it extremely biased by basically saying "well im using gmaul and i like it OP so dont nerf it" you did not say anything else worth mentioning...

There are tons of pros for nerfing the gmaul, the main one being is that the weapon is simply broken and OP, it does not create a fair environment because you simply cant go pking without using one if you are under 90 combat....Any new content that introduces a hard hitting weapon instantly becomes unbalanced because when combined with gmaul it simply hits too hard.

The gmaul spec should cost 55%, that would make the most sense and make it much more balanced then it currently is.

Also if you made an account for the gmaul, you can also get 10 more attack levels.... Your account isnt ruined because if you think gmaul is not as good as it was prior to the nerf, then its pretty easy for you to get to 60 attack and still have the same account.

What you are lobbying for is to keep a broken and insanely OP weapon in the game, which has basically ruined all PvP in the wildy because its over flooded

Please ask people that actually pk about nerving the gmaul.

I think nerving the Granite maul will completely destroy PvP and Bh worlds.

Why:
- dragon dagger special attacks are easily dodged by camping Phoenix necklaces
- dragon claws special attacks are easily dodged by camping Phoenix necklaces
- No one ever stays in a fight if you camp dds special attacks for 4 specs in row, people are always scared to get smited
- Elder maul will drop even more since it is completly bullshit to play with without Gmaul special attack combo.
- No more dds - gmaul - dds, ags/gmaul claws/gmaul or any other combo's like this which is a must have in PvP since people camp necks and safe max hp all day.

PvP will turn dead with this update.
BH will turn dead with this update.

Of course PvMers in wildy will vote yes on this update since it'll help them not die while doing stuff in wildy.

Multiple people who have replied to the post on this thread have stated that they made an account build that centers around the granite maul.

Is that not telling? Why would people create accounts and stop at 50 attack? Is it because the granite maul is the end all in PvP? Is it because the granite maul is so good you don't need 60, 70, 75 attack? Very telling....
