It might sound biased as I just got the twisted bow, but I really feel like BP is way too overpowered. Darts are cheap, as gp is worth less in Alora compared to OSRS. You can easily get end game darts and not worry about the GP spent. I feel like magic is useless, melee sometimes too. I got 40M range XP (x5 rates) and I'm not even maxed, simply because I need to use the BP for everything. I'd rather see magic and melee get more use than use blowpipe for everything.

 

I wonder how you guys feel about it.

 

Also. I feel like there should be an use/buff for mage in raids. It's way too easy taking only a twisted bow or a BP and melee switch for everything.

 

edit:

I don't necessarily mean to nerf the actual blowpipe, more or like increase the stats of certain bosses so it is no longer preferably to use range when you should use melee or mage. For example, Olm's right hand should be maged.

100% Support!

The blowpipe is being used on almost every boss. This shows that this game rely's on only one item. Elite Void is free and darts practically are too. The max hit on the blowpipe (I believe) is 32-34 and this can be dealt on any boss. There should be a damage and accuracy nerf as you can still kill Kraken in 20 seconds with the +300 Range defence however Magic still takes 40 seconds to kill. The Twisted Bow seems under-powered when you compare it to the Blowpipe. This deserves to be nerfed.

We had a similar update not too long ago in which Range in its entirety was nerfed and Magic was buffed. The range changes were reverted within 3 days due to community backlash. I'm not disagreeing with you that the Blowpipe isn't currently the best DPS weapon in the game, however there is always going to be a weapon that's better than the rest. Melee offers a different type of DPS as it comes with a lot stronger defence benefits, and in fact I do choose to use melee in some scenarios. Furthermore, this would be quite unfair to newer players looking to get 200m Ranged exp as players for longer than a year now have been able to use BP in its current state. No support from me, it's the game meta and how it has always been.

I have to agree with most of this, I do recall hearing about the update that proxy is talking about and apparently people hated it.
DPS wise the blowpipe is always gonna to be op af. I mean it's still overused af on osrs.
No support from me unless there's a way which can be beneficial for everyone.

Blowpipe is OP, ruby bolts are OP they should have their dmg caped like osrs did (bouth of those out dps tbow), tbow is way more weak here then on osrs, and I agree raids should have been done with mage from the start to match osrs, Support

Although BP is really strong, you have to understand it is one of the top 3 best range weapons in game. It is supposed to be a strong weapon and you can argue that the ACB and T Bow are both very strong. I don't agree with a nerf on anything because i've seen changes happen to range and it didn't turn out well.

I would love to see a buff to magic in non-PvP situations because I do think magic is underused. The only times I see magic used are very rarely in Zulrah/Kraken and when everyone splashes to 99. I think it would be nice if there was an accuracy buff to magic in general.

Melee is fine to me as well, definitely the most accurate and consistent form of combat.

Would be fun to kill cerb with an actual bludgeon instead of a blowpipe. Tbow is shit outside of raids too. Mage is shit everywhere. Yes you got my full support =]

I love my Blowpipe so I don't want to see it nerfed, people complain about Tbow a lot, so buff that leave Blowpipe.

I SUPPORT this, but instead of nerfing the blowpipe directly buff the range defense of certain monsters. Making Magic more viable in PVM would supply a greater diversity of options, because right now Magic is only useful at Dagannoth Rex, Kraken (BP is better), Zulrah (BP is better), and Inferno (not even needed).

 

Outside of Raids the T Bow is a nice fashionscape item, but I can't think of one monster it's BIS against. Blowpipe is the King of PVM right now and not using it puts you at a serious disadvantage. It would be nice to see the game meta evolve if this suggestion was implemented correctly.

I agree with Sass. I came to say they should change the defence of monsters to make magic more useful at places like Kraken, Zulrah, etc. I don't think you need to nerf/buff items directly but change the monsters defences. I'm all for adding more variety to  bosses. It makes the game more enjoyable

 

Also about Cerberus. I haven't tested it, but is blowpipe really better than bludgeon there too? It should be changed so bludgeon is best weapon there.

 

The nice thing about osrs is the variety of weapons and different styles used to take on bosses instead of it just being whip and blowpipe used for everything.

I don’t think the damage on blowpipe should be nerfed, I think that the numbers need to be checked on certain monsters regarding magic. I think bosses in general need to be tweaked so you can’t blowpipe everything, I like blowpipe I don’t feel it’s overpowered I just feel like boss mechanics and defence bonuses need to be looked at. I support this to an extent.

Or just make range not viable on certain bosses (Give bosses higher range defense).
But last time we made the blowpipe worse the whole server cried until it was fixed ^^

Yeah that’s what I was saying, but I also just don’t think mage in general is viable outside of PVP. But I mean something needs to be done. My other complaint is some boss mechanics don’t even work properly, but that’s for a different thread.

Nerfing Blowpipe has already been accepted as a suggestion.
