As listed by some others, I would increase it to 4%, because when you would be duoing with a friend when another player with better equipment is near the difference would be hard to notice.
Great idea though!

The idea is to promote clans. Duoing with a friend is not this.

Not once I lower the occurence of bolt special effects: http://forums.pkhonor.net/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=15553
I'll also do a few small comparative tests between pernix/divine/chaotic cbow, void/whip of chaos and death, to see how close their damage output are to each other.

Yeah, that's pretty much the only concern I have about this system. Not sure what I could do about this.

People will only be counted towards a clan if they are in the same room and have dealt at least 1 damage to the monster. As far as I know, being in the same room is already a requirement to be counted towards the clan, but they don't need to deal any damage - this will change in the next update.

Nothing. The whole idea is to promote clans and competitive play.

Many bosses are just way too easy on PkHonor. I think you should re-do all bosses also :P

You currently only have to be visible on the minimap to be apart of LS. Glad to hear that will be changed, though :)


And Mike, even if you lower bolt special effects, the fact remains that Void is the best armour for damage output because of its bonuses, which are as they should be. Lowering bolt effects would only give people in Pernix + Divine less chance because their average damage output would be lessened by more than those with Void because they can no longer hit 60+. Void is SUPPOSED to have the best damage output, which it currently does. Pernix has reasonable accuracy and defence, with a decent range bonus but it doesn't have the best damage output, only the best efficiency. The armours work how they should.


This gear is currently best for maximum damage output, using range:

Full Void Range, Amulet of Ranging, Archers Ring, Ranger Boots, Ava's, Zamorak Book, Chaotic Crossbow / Rune C'bow + Rigour. This along with Vengeance and purposeful prayer dropping at correct moments will outhit Pernix. Test it without any bolt specials at all, just using plain Rune Bolts. It still holds true for 90% of situations. Giving people using this set up a damage bonus will not increase competitiveness, it will just leave people unable to even contest them unless they are in an equally large clan with equally powerful gear.


That isn't to say this is a reason that this suggestion is not a good idea. It is. The only issue is that it leaves those with the best damage output gear almost unbeatable, whereas at least now anyone has a fair chance if they can match most of the above gear.

I like the idea, but I think it should be a 2% bonus with a 6% cap..

12% bonus means 65s with a chaos whip..just no
