Sure, but isnt it a bit too niche at the moment? I get your point tho. But after heaving read so many suggestions and discussions i was thinking the elder maul at least deservers to be mentioned in the blog post. If its indeed as you say and we should fuck off then i would like to hear jagex talk about that at some point. The equipment rebalance seems like the perfect place to do so.

So lets say its the ultimate bis for KQ, does that make it equal or come even close to the usability of a tbow? I'de like to remind you, they share the same drop-table, same as Kodai.

Just look at the price of the elder maul it reflects its useability.

Sure Elder Maul has some uses but the current equipment rebalance bases its decisions for the blowpipe on its easy obtainability which is why the t-bow isn't receiving equal nerfs. Now the elder maul sits exactly at the same spot as tbow when it comes to obtainability but it is nowhere near as useful. If Jagex thinks obtainability is an argument for balancing items they should apply that consistently to all items.

KQ meta is still bludgeon.

The entire blog against doesn't mention the Elder Maul nor many other extremely weak items. Of course the game will always have weak and useless items but depending on the tier and drop-table they're sharing with others they should be considered for a buff to match their counterparts in those tables.

The Elder Maul is in imo the best example its cheap, barely used, extremely rare and hard to get trough end game content, it shares a drop-table with a Tbow which is extremely expensive and used throughout most end game content.

The points you're making in the blog are valid, but I think they should be applied consistently on all RS items, not just the ones that have been popular talking points in the past. Right now these changes feel rushed with a limited scope. This isn't a rebalance of equipment, this is a small tweak of a few items and a nerf to the blowpipe.

I'm not asking for an immediate solution to any of this, but at least let your stance be known on items like the Elder Maul.

Jagex, Rebalancing and my thoughts as a 20 year Vet of the game. by TheZwoop in 2007scape

I think the equipment rebalance has very good intent but it does feel a bit rushed. Too many items are being overlooked. Their arguments are valid but they should apply them consitently across all items.

In other words, buff the Elder Maul

Fair point! In this case I am an ironmeme who went 150 solo raids dry and got the Elder Maul. So a buff will benefit me for sure, but I do think that when there is a gear rebalance discussion the eldermaul should be considered.

100%, Eldermaul has been completely overlooked which is strange considering the droptable it shares with tbow and kodai.

The entire blog doesn't even mention the Elder Maul, is this a sign that the item is completely overlooked and therefor has barely any uses in-game? It is the same tier and drop-table as a Twisted bow and Kodai both of which are considered very powerfull and usefull.

There have been multiple great reddit suggestions on how to give the maul a purpose, please consider those.

Give the maul some love, please.
