Hitting low and infrequently doesn't really make up for much. You can already fight back with magic yourself and that doesn't even begin to even the playing field at all.
Void vs virtus = even, sometimes even out hitting, vois vs drudic, lol no chance

Void is paper compared to drudic.

I feel like changing such a core part of the RS combat system is too much..

When people cast a spell on any variation of a runescape game, they expect their spell to travel 8 squares. Likewise, a person on longranged expects his bolt to travel 8 squares.

I really think that nerfing magic this much will do more harm than good.

so then maybe extend range of all bows to 8?

Currently assholes can farcast and be virtually immune for no reason other than they have a lot of money. That alone causes a lot of harm and reducing their unfair advantage is hardly a bad thing.

So buff ranged and magic defense and make longeranged work.

Well...soon to be 120hp...And if it's 7 spots or 8 spots, you still won't hit through that.

If handcannon was fixed it would be easier. The current fix was unnecessary. To prevent rushing the special could just have been disabled if the player wasn't in combat themselves.

Also, that 30-40HP makes a huge difference. A reasonable barrage (if fixed as well, so hits could stack properly) followed by Dark Bow or AGA can hit 80~ through divine and prayer still. The HP change will be very important.

If I purchaed druidic, I want what my money has bought which is the hp bonus and high mage offensive.
The issue with druidic isn't really the hp , because there's no weapon in game that can one bang it, or even 2 bang it.
Even if you lower it to like 120 hp max, it's not hard for someone to spam click brews to survive.

The mage bonus is pretty accurate which I enjoy, but I could see a Nerf on its stats. Hitting nearly half HP with the appropiate items and their bonuses on a normal player is quite op, but the HP given doesn't make a huge determining factor.
