While this may seem rude or harsh considering how much most of us have loved RuneScape through the years, it's only said from that same love and care. We simply have invested so much of our time and effort into this game and its own community we are deeply troubled that something as dishonest as this current update by Jagex would ever show up in this fantastic game. We promote Jagex, should they read this, to RS gold not be insulted, but awed by the fact that they have created a community with an ethical sense this robust and be motivated to use the community to reach a solution that pleases both parties. Thank you. What do think about it overall? I do not really enjoy this combat update, for several reasons. Enemies appear to take more time to kill, and you are often forced to assault non-gd monsters so that your adrenaline does not drop. Also it appears that the party now needs several battle styles, which will be debatable for getting groups together (Even now I spend more time trying to get dg teams together than I invest in the real floors; having the need for multiple battle styles will make it much worse). Armour seems to be almost a requirement today, because they've been nerfed and do not block everything.
Second, I don't like how they've reduced the effectiveness of prayer in pvm. I would not mind in pvp, but if you can't use shield Truth with 100% efficacy, some bosses become a lot more difficult (and dungeoneering, see above). Also, all prayer-boosting equipment was removed. This makes turmoil and soul split far more expensive to use, and slows down slayer if you do not utilize them.
Thirdly, there are some options they created with cheap OSRS gold the weapon/armour system that I do not like. Shields lose all offensive stats and I have no clue how defender works right now. Gloves and boots lose all offensive stats. All offensive promotes are now relative rather than absolute (i.e. +2% instead of something like +8) also it would appear that the only offensive thing which can be boosted is critical strike chance. This seriously hurts faster, weaker weapons like rapier. Speaking of rapier, it's currently nerfed in rate to be simply a CLS using stab rather than slash.
