If we are talking about why combat is bad and hard to learn, the queuing bug is major. The only place I found that information was on their PVME discord whatever.

I haven't been playing EOC the whole time, I just got started. It seems like their plan is to simply bypass the combat system with powerful shenanigans like animate dead and melee bleeds.

I am totally onboard with that concept. This is a game. There is nothing wrong with letting me enjoy it.

Animate undead is an ancient magic spell. Magic has always been part of combat in Jagex's Runescape games throughout these 21 years. Update of Magic is update to the combat system, not to bypass it.

Just curious, but have you bough the Scare Tactics grimoire? It's about 1Mil. It's something they released a while back, it introduced magic and ranged versions of some of the early melee abilities to try and help fix some of those "lack of ability" issues you speak of. I know they show abilities that you can unlock from codex's and which codex's unlock them in the skillbook now. Not sure how many people buy them early on. I just went and got one as a drop when I came back.

I play Iron mode, so I haven't "bought" anything.

That said, your suggestion prompted me to look up that book on the wiki and I discovered that it drops from Unspeakable Horrors. Which I also need to get around to killing for a Black Mask. So once my current super questing spree gets to Cabin Fever, I will make an effort to unlock those skills and get my Black Mask.
