New Content - Combat Achievements Suggestion:
Combat
The recently polled Combat Achievements passed, with the exception of the accuracy offhand, leaving the achievements without an item to attach the bonuses to. I have a suggestion regarding this. The bonuses should be attached to existing defender's stats in one of two ways that would not (in my opinion) break the game's meta.
Option 1)
Each tier of the diary would reward a "new" defender item with less than BiS stats and a unique appearance much the same as the other diaries do. This leaves the avernic defender as best in slot, but gives a cool reward to grand master that is still usable, while wholly optional. The stats could be along the lines of:
Easy: Steel Defender stats
Medium: Black Defender stats
Hard: Mithril Defender stats
Elite: Adamant Defender stats
Master: Rune Defender stats
Grandmaster: Dragon Defender stats
Option 2, my personal preference)
Each tier of the diary would reward an ornamentation kit for the dragon defender. This kit would apply a unique appearance and provide the bonuses associated to the tier such as teleports, without actually changing the offensive or defensive stats. This again provides a pretty cool, flashy reward that can be used without breaking meta based on stats, and leaving the Avernic defender in it's coveted place as best in slot.
This method however requires the player to actually have a dragon defender to attach the kit to. You could perhaps have the Easy tier of the log require obtaining a dragon defender, or if that is too high of difficulty for easy, simply allow the kit itself to have right-click options for the teleports, etc. That way it is usable from the inventory without need of attaching it first.
Thanks for reading! I hope this might be useful!
