They also have decreased the effectiveness and efficiency of RuneScape Gold prayers in PvM. While I’d be fine with pvp in some cases, when protect prayers aren’t 100% efficient, bosses could become very difficult (and dungeoneering, as previously mentioned). All prayer-boosting gear has been taken away. This causes soul separation and turmoil to be much more costly and slows down slayer’s progress even if you do not use them.

The third point is that the decision they made in regards to the armour/waffen system isn’t something I like. Shields do not have offensive stats and I am not familiar with how the Defender works. All offensive stats are removed from the boots and gloves.

The boosts to offensive power are relative and not absolute (i.e. +2 instead of similar to +8) and it seems that the only offensive factor that is able to be increased is the critical hit chance. This seriously hurts faster, weaker weapons like the rapier. Speaking of rapier, it is now reduced in speed and is just an CLS that has stab instead of slash.

That brings me to the next point. There is no style switching in melee or range. If you have an rapier, you are able to now only stab with it, no slashing. If you wish to slash, you’ll need to change your weapon. You can only speed up your attacks by using a faster weapon. If you’re looking to get farther than a slower weapon, a slower one can be used.

The ability is the last stage. To fight efficiently, all you really have to do is to mash each ability. This is not just more difficult on your fingers, but can also make combat much more time-consuming if there are a lot of you who want to train, such as when you want to achieve 99 kills. It’s impossible to Buy OSRS Accounts earn combat xp per hit however, at the close. This makes praying much more difficult.
