This also applies to OSRS gold your own character. There is no longer the ability to melee when wearing the d'hide. To demonstrate how terrible this is the numbers are similar to the following: wearing a ranged top and bottom, as well as a helm while combating decreases your accuracy by 27 percent. The use of a ranged top and bottom while meleeing reduce your accuracy by 45%. Gloves and boots don't appear to make a significant difference though.

These two reasons show why you must utilize the weaknesses of monsters. If you're facing Dark Beasts (which mage you now) and you show weakness in range, and you decide to engage in melee it, you'll see two things. One is that you barely get hit.

The second is that the magic damage is actually increasing due to your armor. (A way around this last aspect is to wear Hybrid gear, for instance the Warpriest of Armadyl equipment, which is available as a drop from Aviansies, and other creatures found in the GWD) It's also worth noting that you should definately get an Royal C'bow. Ammo can be found for a very low price, costing just under 1M to make, and it outhits CCB.

One last thing to remember: Make use of abilities as often as you can. For instance, if I'm casting Fire Surge on the glacor and apply a magic spell, I DO NOT USE the arrows in any way. Same with arrows in range. For slayer tasks, you'd want to avoid ultimates, and focus on basics and thresholds, until you can use Guthix' Blessing to heal, or Berserk/Metamorphosis for some crazy damage.

Then I've explained virtually everything there is to know about the EOC to you. Maybe I should write the guide to this. If you require assistance, please contact me directly here, or buy old school runescape gold play the Game "Renegaderp".
