I know people are going to freak out about talking about a buff to justiciar but hear me out.
Justiciar set was on the list on one of the q&a this month. As I interpreted their answers Jagex did agree that the set should have been slightly more useful but they were so careful when they chose its stats.
I think there are two major reasons why the set isn't as useful as expected.
1. High end PVM has a large portion of dodgeable attacks. Facetanking them = you're dead. Dodging them = you take 0 damage. So DPS items are BIS after practise.
2. Full set has to be equipped for the dmg reduction effect.
The Hydras could be a good opportunity. Create some boss attack phases that kills you if you facetank (like normal) and does partial damage if you successfully dodge them. This could perhaps create more usage for the bulwark too if that is desired. Currently tank gear has very few and very niche purposes and as a result top tier equipment immediately becomes almost useless, evident by the fact that the justiciar chest and the dragon platebody are currently the same price.
I know people are concerned about power creep but in my opinion releasing a new armor set for basically 2 uses (learning inferno and afking rune dragons) is the exact opposite of power creep and not what the players or even perhaps jagex wanted.
As we do not currently know the mechanics of the new Hydra boss there is certainly the possibility that this issue will be resolved when that is released however as it currently stands enough of the player base seems concerned enough about this to at least discuss possible solutions.
I do not think the set needs a major rework, just one or two small tweaks to make it more viable.
Can't wait to see what you guys and the mods (I won't say boys because it's not just boys anymore
) at jagex think about this!
Edit: A healing attack like Rune Dragons have makes def/justiciar great too.
