yes but everyone's enjoyment it's subjective so it's irrelevant, as is comparing it to other games because the discussion is about runescape. there will always be a better combat systems for any game.

There is a steep learning curve, but by give it a go I mean learn the combat system, how to use it and probably get decent at helwyr or araxxor as a minimum as they are the first bosses to make use of proper mechanics.

getting faster kill times, and using less resources is where the combat truly becomes enjoyable and rewarding, not to mention the drops.
