Looks very promising to me on most parts.

I think the 15% damage boost on the new staff would be justified.
I mean, it is dropped from one of the strongest bosses, just like godswords, and therefore I don't see anything wrong with it being the strongest staff.
The price will probably be very high making master wand and ancient staff still very viable, however I agree that these could use a magic damage boost as well (10% for example).

I think the crossbow with its special attack seems very nice as well.

However what I don't agree on is the imbued berserker ring.
Already being the only ring giving str bonus, it already gives a whopping +4 str--how many other items give that much?
When imbued, I think it should give a maximum +2 higher str (total +6 str), or it should have a huge cost to imbue (such as 10+ hours of nightmare zone every time you imbue one), or then alternatively it could give other boosts such as +attack boosts, while avoiding to make warrior ring overshadowed on that forte.

In any case, looking forward to the polls while farming nightmare zone!

With the imbued rings perhaps you could upgrade the berserker ring to equal the warrior rings boosts as opposed to making the strength bonus too high. so upgrading your ring would be costly but still worth while for its bonus for things like slaying or PVM but not so brutal when it comes to spec & tabs. I personally believe that with the new combat items coming out the game doesn't need too much more in the strength bonus area. (I may have a biased opinion, I'm still scarred from claws.. but I do miss them)

in regards to the new items
I think the crossbow sounds awesome, and the fact that it would be a GWD boss drop would mean that it wouldn't exactly be under priced. so if you where unlucky enough to find someone with enough bank to buy one willing to risk it in the wilderness.. if you manage to kill/smite them you would be making alot of profit.
People seem to forget what happened when claw rushing was dominant will happen to c'bow rushers. when claws got so bad that entering the wild was getting rediculious Anti rushers came and they made bank capitalizing on unsuspecting rushers.

The new staff sounds cool but i hope you can find a better model.
good job on the new content though, keen as.

I think NMZ is getting too many rewards that would be great rewards for new bosses and such. Spread the content around a bit. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.

Ranged is not OP, void and dark bow can be a little OP but they have practically no defence and pretty much only get 1 spec per fight.
How often does anyone using dark bow for more then just it's special attack?
(D) bolts can hit high but all it takes is an anti-fire shield or potion and they're nerfed.

How often does one really take a shield over a zammy book or even bother to bring an antifire pot into the wilderness for pvp? i always bring sip one and an anti poison at the bank every time I bank. Most of my friends do as well. getting k0'd by poison or a random d bolt is not fun

What about multi pking clans with acb?
They could just all spec one person with say dia bolts (e)/d bolts/onyx e and have a VERY high chance 1 hitting the person because the special will activate 100%.

That really goes for any special attack weapon, tbh. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.

I also think we should be careful how much rewards are given to one mini-game. Some of these ideas are great suggestions for PvP world content and other future content.

Isn't that the same with any weapon? If a clan piled one person with rune scims they could one hit them lol. Clans rush all the time with gmauls, ddses, dbows, etc.
