never make posts on forums but bro eoc didn't kill runescape as much as your rebalancing of every item at the same time did tbh. if you think you need to rework items then just bring in more balanced weapons and armors instead of changing stats on some gear thats 20 years old at this point.

Far too much going on, some of the proposed changes will effect iron man mode greatly, the nerf to the BP makes it not worth doing zulrah and grinding it out.
I feel some of the changes are catering to the pvp community and will spoil the game for irons. We are not all high level players who can get a Tbow.

Hi and welcome to my guide!

Bruh you guys are out of your minds. LOL
I had to come back a second time on the forums to post AGAIN.
PLEASE DO NOT PUSH THESE UPDATES THROUGH.

This is giving me anxiety.
I need you guys to come up with something else please.
This will completely destroy the game and how it's played.

RIP Ironmen. RIP PvM'ers.
RIP RIP RIP RIP RIP.

Most of the rebalances seem quite okay. It's good to make a little more variation in weaponry instead of "one weapon trumps all" (mostly applicable to blowpipe)

Changed combat requirements are reasonable aswell.

But:
Are there any proposed mechanic changes to Bulwark's delayed damage reduction? I see the point in reducing magic defense a bit with regards to the combat triangle, but the bulwark's unique mechanic prevents you from gearswitching to shields with a good magic defense.

pienso que los cambios están bien pero no todos. el cambio de la Toxic blowpipe ese se be mal porque para nosotros los jugadores de medio nivel se nos ase difícil conseguir gp para las armas caras y esa es la única opción que tenemos para luchar contra los bosses si la quitan están obligando a que muchos jugadores abandonen el juego por los difícil que se les va a hacer para conseguir gp.

Very concerning reading todays post, reminds me of when I logged into my defence pure on EOC and could not equip my black platebody. A lot of people are going to be very unhappy with these changes, there's been a mass quitting before would be a shame for history to repeat itself.

So, I see the Dragonhide Armor is getting a huge nerf considering. If this happens then please buff the blessed dragonhide armor. and possibly the levels to wield it whether higher ranged and defense level or adding a prayer level to them.

For the Dinh's I think this is a mistake, in my opinion. I'd say if wielding and your wearing other tank gear have a threshold on the def bonuses. So, if someone is in full Justiciar and Dinh's their defence bonuses are going to be through the roof, and why not make it where its a set based thing? If you are at x threshold for stab, crush, slash then reduced melee defence bonuses by 25%. If your Magic or ranged def bonuses are at x threshold the def provided by Dinh's is cut by 25%.

The Toxic Blowpipe has never been a 'meta' in my opinion unless you're using rune to dragon darts then its just a gold sink. I'd say the accuracy that's been proposed is ok as long as the ranged strength stays the same, or vice versa. For the rest of it on toxic blowpipe, eh whatever I can deal.

Dragonbone Necklaces and Bonecrusher Necklace...... Why reduce the level requirement for these??? This I would consider a high tier item and takes quite a bit of work to achieve. The buff to them, cool I agree with that, but lowering the level as well when raising the others for similar stuff baffles me.

I feel like there is more to the crystal equipment than you are letting out but so far from what I see I like it. This would make it sooooo much nicer for grinding out the shards for them.

The rest of the blog is pretty good. However, the rune sets just seem way underpowered, but easy to get and have such a high mining and smithing level to make them. Is there anything proposed on this? Can we lower the smithing level for them or add in the dragonstone armor to be a viable thing if you have x smithing and x crafting with song of the elves completed? It'd be cool to make this at a tier around dragon/obsidian I think. Either way mining needs rework imo.

Could we add a zulrah or xerics scroll drop that allows players to imbue the blowpipe similar to the magic short bow (i)? To hopefully maintain some accuracy stats?
