Okay, I do not post often... But this is an update I feel a need to weigh in on.
Preface, I am of the philosophy that we do not need to perpetually add BIS (best in slot) gear. Based on that, hear my two suggestions.
1. Cosmetic cape. I am all in favor of a new challenge and a new fight. However, I do not support adding a cape which diminishes the value of the Fire Cape. Therefore, let us have the boss and let us be rewarded with something else entirely. For example, you must risk your Fire Cape in order to gain access to this fight. Upon successful completion, you now have the option for two cosmetic upgrades to your cape. (This is where you come in...) Perhaps we have room in the lore to incorporate a frozen or earthly version of the Fire Cape? Perhaps we need only add an Obsidian trim? The ideas here are endless, but the point is... No new BIS.
2. Magic cape. If we introduce a new BIS cape, please... Give melee a break. Let's come up with new bonuses for this item. TzHaar are known for using all styles of combat, so let us show that in the rewards. I propose a cape which resembles the God capes in bonuses, albeit with slight defense improvements.
I'm definitely open to more ideas. (Perhaps revitalize some other forgotten TzHaar equipment? Maybe a chance to imbue the older items?) My intent is to stimulate discussion around the idea of NOT adding a new "best cape" and simply adding alternatives. Provide a reward and incentive, sure. But do not provide yet another "end game BIS." A single player was not meant to dominate every boss in OSRS on a solo trip for hours, and more powerful gear only encourages that.
Thanks!
