The Verac's set effect has been changed to provide additional prayer bonus instead of bonus prayer points. This will prevent players using the set to AFK train with protection prayers enabled.


This is laughable.

Until you make all forms of 6-hour afking permanently broken, as in not able to afk for 6-hours, a change like this is just a joke.

I can't actually take you seriously Jagex.

Fix afking before you worry about what gear people use to afk in.

so ahrims +occult nect can hit 45 with barrage?

no


do you know how to read? because it seems you don't, first and for most do you even know what items you'd have to wear for ahrims set to take effect? amulet of dammed stats of a glory, your staff is 2h meaning guess what for both hand u get +15 magic bonus vs me for instance when I go barrageing master wand and mages book I get 35 mage bonus to hit my 30s with barrage....add even lass mage bonus due to fury,or occult not being equipable, your max hit if your lucky is ganna be a 26 on a lucky hit....only reason I can see ahrims and amulet being bad is barrage crash wars in the wildy that reign of terror are so fond of when they 1 item,but guess what u can't 1 item to get your double hit, also just for your informatation with occult staff of the dead mage book etc....I can hit over 35 with barrage no problem as is lmao let alone a double hit that happens 1/4th time...and just did the numbers 26 and 13 is 39 is absolute max u can pull 99 mage max potted in full ahrims plus amulet inf boots etc.....and yes if someones risk** a ahrims set infinity boots etc to hit a couple more damage every now and then, dosn't make a big deal in the pvp scene,if anything it gives people more incentive to use mage and a even bigger insentive for pvpers looking for more loot in general...let alone improveing pvm drops value all in 1..
a suggestion learn what your ranting about before posting comments like that on fourms without any authenticity.... :P cherrio
edit:sorry its 30 percent of damage in a double hit not 50 like it was originally polled so your max hit hitting double hits is going to be even less then 39 as 39 is max hit with 2nd hit being able to do half the damage the first did so you max hit will be closer to exactly what I can do currently ingame

I like the updates, but I'm a little sad about the Torags change, I was hoping that hammers was going to become a viable weapon. Is there any chance the defence bonus could become a passive ability, similar to Dharoks, while a (smaller) attack speed increase could be the extra bonus?

As somebody pointed out, if the Torag set is being used for tanking, won't protection prayers negate the defence effect anyway? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here.


Also, I'm a bit confused about the Ahrim's change. a 1 in 4 chance of dealing 30% extra damage puts the AotD at a lower overall DPS increase (7.5%) than the Occult necklace, meaning this seems to be purely a PvP related bonus, with the existing occult necklace still a better choice for PvM. Is there any way this could be increased for players in PvM, only? Even doubling this effect would only put it at 15% extra overall damage, not a whole lot higher than the ON.

Please don't poll this yet it's not ready! Dharok, Guthans and Verac updates are all completely fine, but the other 3 still will have no use for the sets. Unless a Mod can post a reply detailing a situation where these sets would be useful then I think there's no point. In what situation would Torags new set ever be better than defender+whip?

and don't say tanking because it's not worth losing the DPS of Dfs whip etc. and if it became the best tank gear then hello 2m dfs'. I have an interesting idea, how about make a new boss that has phases requiring the barrows new set effects to beat? like make it so you cant wear shields and you need the tank to use torags set effect to survive etc.

From what Im seeing, a simple solution would be to fix the ahrims since thats what most people are not liking

If they made the second hit splat occur at a 1/4 chance (same as before) but the second hit splat would only have the POTENTIAL of half damage of the first splat, not necessarily half of it exactly

I also may be a little bias since I just bought the logs to get 80 firemaking with lol
