What is your suggestion?: That the Elder Maul should receive a crush bonus buff so that it is more closely related to the Chaotic Maul. SO that it is a viable PvM weapon, I and so many others believe that it is an awesome weapon, it looks cool, the animations are cool and closely resemble the chaotic maul that everyone loves. But in PvM abby bludgeon > elder maul. I think that it should be made into a viable PvM weapon, so either buff the crush bonus in order to make it hit more consistently. Not to boost the damage so much, it does great damage. Just so that it hits consistently in my opinion.

 

Is this in OSRS?: It is not in OSRS but it is a HUGELY discussed topic among the community that it should be incorporated and I believe in the near future that it will be buffed.

 

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No it has not 

 

How would this benefit Alora?: It would make PvM for the maul lovers much more enjoyable, everyone who loves using the elder maul but isn't a PKer can actually use it. People who get it from a raid don't have to IMMEDIATELY quick sell it because it is useless in PvM and it will make it a more valuable weapon instead of being stuck at 45m. Make it a more worth while grind in the raids etc.

 

 

 

BRING BACK THE MAUL!

 

Thanks for reading and kindest regards,

I support making both the maul and bludgeon more viable for PVM, there are very few situations on Alora where you can use them currently. Maybe the crush def for certain bosses can be changed to better reflect what's on OSRS.

EDIT: Added poll.

Buffing 2h'ers is always a yes in my book.  Although they're pretty good all around, they're always outclassed it seems like in OSRS and of course here at Alora... 

I wanna swing big wep!  And the abby looks lame compared to Elder so Fashionnnnnscappppeeee as well.

[Horror]

elder mauls only use is rly gmaul combos. alora strives to be as close to 07 as possible also so why would they add str bonus 2 it????? 

 

if u wanna hit bandos over the hed w a elder maul go ahead m8 no1 is stopping u xd

But if they buff it's accuracy would that not buff it in pvp situations as well. Making it more likely to hit those big numbers and 1 shot people? I do like the idea of using it in pvm. However if that has a equal or relatively equal advantage applied to pvp situations I myself would not approve.

i support this

it could be a minor buff in pvp situations, but i don't think that it's gonna change the pvp meta.

 

also, what sassafras said about boss defences might be a good alternative if this doesn't work out.

I 100% agree, if PvP is too much of a concern for players. I definitely push for the boss defenses, as I was discussing with Rekt. I don't feel as there is much of a PKing community in Alora aside from people chasing PvM players across the wilderness whom are doing revs or slayer tasks, however I could be completely wrong but this buff would overall boost the value of the elder maul, thus increasing it's item risk in PvP if it comes to that.

[Paine]

I don't necessarily think the Elder maul got added into OSRS with the intention of being a PvM weapon, but got adapted over time as one to use on bosses weak to crush. I see elder maul just fine as it is, so I cannot support this suggestion.

"the chaotic maul that everyone loves"

Please no.

 

No support, don't agree with the buff.

 

EDIT: if it gets buffed in OSRS then i agree, but until then, no.

[Zach McCoy]

I do not own one so I couldn’t care either way.

[Rune Coon]

No support from me, I don’t think we shouldn’t start making up our own stats

[FrankerZ]

I support this idea, at the moment it just seems nobody is using the items due to tent whip etc doing most damage and meaning the item is worthless! Would be nice to see it being used in some pvm situations.

[Ermia]

Do keep in mind that whilst it may seem game breaking to a lot of people it will be balanced out by overall increasing the worth of the item. It won't sit solid at 45m if it receives a buff, also if this falls through I will more than likely follow it up with another vote that will be for PvM boss crush defences being lowered to buff the accuracy without boosting the weapons accuracy stat. Thanks for the votes and opinions thus far!

[MCMUFFIN177]

No support, we can't just decide we like things lots so they should have a buff so that they're viable to do what we want with them. Elder maul is working as intended. I like dragon 2h a lot and I want it to be viable to pvm with.

[Try Brid]

I move that this be supported, but with the catch that.. it should essentially have the reverse effect as pvp armours... 20% de buff in wild.. I think that buffing it would be great for pvm but not for wild.

[MT]

If the buff is not in OSRS, I don’t think it should be added in Alora.

No support.

[IM Moe]

Maybe in the future, if the OSRS team sees it as a possible viable way to add more options to PvM sure. I personally don't think people care for it enough. 

[Code 002]

That's a no from me dog. Not in osrs not in alora.

Why are so many mods chiming in?  

I thought you lost the ability to preach and effect server changes when you became a mod; since you aren't here for enjoyment? 

And every one of you that said "Not in OSRS; not in Alora" better only have 1x xp chars or you're fullashite. 

Just saying.  If you have a modded server and an item is useless in every scenario, but is an end game drop... why bother having it in game?  Why not replace it with something else?  If you're not going to boost crush chance, and/or reduce PvM crush defense, and it doesn't effect the PvP since that isn't what we're even voting on here, then why are you all complaining?  

If for no other reason than you have the current meta already built and are too stubborn to change even a little bit or have to do something differently than you've already mastered to which I say: Boo...hoo... hoo.

If the item isn't useful, and you all refuse to change it to have a useful scenario, then freakin take it outta the game.  I don't want fuckin pointless drops end game. 

End rant.

I also find it hilarious the mods used their votes and opinions to sway it from a passable vote.  When it was already like 2/3 yes's.  What a joke xD
