The way it's going right now makes me extremely uneasy. Instead of having armour that makes its wearer pretty much invincible, a more balanced way to do things is to have a niche defence system. For example, have ONE type of defence be extremely high while having the other ones remain on par with the existing best-in-slots. One of the biggest mistakes in my opinion IS the fact that a "better version of x" armour is implemented. People may argue that it is super rare and that the old ones will still be used; whilst true, the new armour will grow in number over time and slowly replace the current best-in-slots. This has been seen on RS2 and EoC, as more comes into the game, more players start wearing it and the old armour like Bandos and Armadyl quickly loses its worth. That being a prime example, I think the current stats for the gear is not good. I would personally like to see it having it be on par with current armour with specific higher stats, keeping the strength bonus the same, but add in offensive stats like bonus accuracy. That way, it can still remain balanced with the current items in game whilst still giving it a "new best in slot" feel. The pessimistic idealist

Need to come up with some real prayers that will benefit everyone that is willing to put in the work and cash to splash money on prayer. Requiring 75 def is just absurd. On the other hand, the prayers that are listed and are "available" to everyone are just really pointless. Like really, who would want to drain their prayer points instead of run energy? Isn't that why there are stamina potions? Seriously those forgotten prayers as of right now are ridiculous. 0/10.
Work out something better or don't introduce them at all.

Wow, what a load of crap.

All of the updates worthwhile to my build (30 def) have now become A. worthless
or B. unusable without 70 defence.


Kodai robes, percentage of magic damage has been removed, no longer worth using to me.

Ranged, and mage spells, needing 70 defence? why?

you're literally making it so that the ONLY BENEFIT OF HIGH PRAYER for any lower defence build, is prayer lasting longer. the rest of the prayers are novelties at best.


I still strongly oppose dragon sword, as it will edge out dragon scimitar if tradable completely.

Dragon platebody removed "until later"???

Just implement it if you're gonna do it later?

Elder maul
should consume obby maul for 1k or so charges if anything as it is most relatable to that weapon class (this would help improve mid level content because of tzhaar camping as well).

Elder wand
Was really great as it was and I think what most people were worried about
was making sotd lose its value and in turn make Zammy even less desirable to go to. Here's
how we fix that, I had an idea about a ranged SET like guthans, would be dropped by zammy,
could have some sort of vampiric effect or zammy lore to it and would heal like guthans but be
sub par dps like the guthans set currently is(there is no heal effect from ranged weapons other
than specs currently;unlike the other combat styles). This would bring more range viability and diversity to god wars dungeon as well and many other pvm applications than the current melee meta.

Dragon plate body
, even though very lackluster stat-wise was an iconic cosmetic item for new members who didn't have the defence requirement or money for a bcp, but had something to grind for. Who wears a granite platebody? Pssshh
