Fights are over insanely fast now that magic hits really high damage now. while an increase wont save you from the 3 hit(which are happening a lot), this can help fights last more then 1-2 minutes. if your 90+ prayer, you literally dont even need to bring a prayer potion anymore, because you just smash through all there food in no time.

I suggest the following increases.

tuna 10 to 12

lobsters 12-14

swordies 14-16/18

sharks 20-24

I know this isn't very "RSC" but neither is fire wave hitting 16s or fire blasts hitting 12s.

Fair point.

I hit a 16 on real classic btw, but it will most likely go back to "RSCR" magic formula.

rscrevolution had done a few updates around 2007/2008 sometime. added withdraw x, buy x to shops, removed pid, that must of been a change they did also. i varrock mage pked for a long time with fire blasts, and never once hit over an 8, and flats pked on p2p a bunch never hitting over a 10 ever. i mean, literally everyone agrees with this, so its not like were making it up.

I for one dont HATE it, it makes perfect sense that 16 spells=max hit 16. it's just it hits SOOOOOOOOOOOO often for 10+ damage now, that everyone gets dropped hella fast. I've had more 3 hits on 99hper in the last 2 days, then in the last 6 months prior to update.

whoever came up with an idea to increase those magic hits is absolutely clueless about how PK'ing works in 2016. it's team based shit and increasing that possible damage being done, just makes it even worse. if anything, it wouldn't be bad to nerf those spells but increasing them, is just totally nonsense.

You can't hit 16s on original with fire wave lol.

you still got ur char p2p'd padwan? if you do and got bloods, maybe go and test this and confirm it 100%. id check myself, but i havent got fuck all on my char haha.

You can't hit 16s on there period.. unless they recently changed it which is highly unlikely.

I concur with this.  1 on 1's wouldn't have even been a thing for mages if fire blast hit over a 10 lol.  Most poeple only had 11 hp.

Is this still happening? I heard it got nerfed, after a few tests it definitely doesn't feel as strong however I feel it's ruined P2P Pking a bit which is when usually the wild is most active, I've probably got 20-30 kills 2/3 hitting people in the first rounds in the past 2-3 days, on a 90s hybrid vs other hybrids or runies, and the same has happened to me probably the same amount of times, on f2p fights last longer but p2p fights are a bit fhked, it's a shame to see p2p not as active this has been getting a lot of +1s to revert would be great to see the change asap boss, thanks for everything and keep up the good work

i like the new mage and im all in for foods healing more add a dick to eat so all the haters hating can eat that

Love the food idea.. But

16 is low for fire wave...

I think damage needs to hit more but be more restricted and accuracy be more defined.  For example;

Base accuracy no gear (hand casting) 20% chance to even hit

Fire blast = 12 + 1 per mage gear peice & 15% accuracy per piece
Max accurracy of 80% in staff and wiz set
Fire wave = 16 "       "

Then disable casts if melee wep is equiped.
This will make hybriding more dificult resulting in less 3 hit killing.

- accuracy of spells by 10% per melee/leather piece.
This will make casting in full rune less effective and provide incentive to wear mage gear.

STOP. TRYING. TO. DIG. THE. HOLE. DEEPER.

REVERT.
