You're just using it wrong. Magic, quite simply, is not to be used like Range and Melee is. Range and Melee can only hit one target at a time, while magic (using Ancients) can hit multiple targets at once.

To show similarity, i'll use a metaphor. Magic is like a real-life nuclear bomb. You wouldn't use a nuke like you would use an Ak-47, now would you? No, nukes are used to hit many things at once, and obliterate them all, while an Ak-47 is made to take out individuals.

And this is where most people die while using magic. They try to use Magic exactly like they're used to using Range and Melee, when, in reality, this isn't the best way to go. You use your advantage, hitting multiple people at once. If you consistently attack a crowd of people, you're likely to kill them quickly, especially when using the Ice spells.

Another thing I've seen used rarely is full Ahrim's and shadow spells. When you do this, you're likely to lower the enemy's Attack and Strength levels to nothing, rendering them incapable. Once you've lowered their stats, you can use smoke and ice spells to poison them, and stop them dead in their tracks.

There is still the dragonhide problem, where a meleer throws on black d'hide, and is invincible to magic. I think a nice -50 to all melee attack stats would solve this problem, no? The only other thing I can think of is the cost of using magic. I have no solutions to this, if anyone can help, please do so.

tl;dr: Magic is like a nuke. You use a nuke to kill lots of people. Not just one person. And magic takes more skill than range or melee.

Mods: If this is in the wrong section, please feel free to move it.

There's not really two sides, it's pretty much just me against the world lol. But so far I think it's been a nice debate.

I agree. Looking over it, it's everyone against you. Although, I do agree with you, I just can't debate too much.
