And they're right in doing so.

Or are you looking forward to see void pures absolutely destroy pures even more with rigour?

Imo the t75 armour should require a higher defence level - med levels will now completely outlast zerks in PvP whilst remaining invulnerable to mains.

Completely disappointed with the Rigour and Agury prayers being 70 defence, they had no required defense level before and I will be voting NO on them even though I liked the prayers enough to get them on
multiple
accounts in the past and have been waiting for them to be released in OSRS.

First of all, I like this set of rewards. To all the people saying they are "dead content" and "sh*t", they're not. They're "balanced" (not sure if this word is familiar to everyone). I know it's nice and all to have new overpowered items powercreeping a game every month, but balance is what keeps it from getting out of hand and becoming RS3 all over again.

For example, the new robes: They have the highest magic attack, and a good prayer bonus, but no defence. People moaning about the defence can stick to using Ahrims; these robes aren't meant to be better than them in every single aspect.

And the prayers, which seem to get a lot of hate aswell, Rigour and Augury have a defence requirement because Chivalry/Piety do. It's just logical. Not to mention it balances the game even more, main accounts getting access to them and pures not.

I can see a good use for the Poison/Venom Absorption prayers, it's when you get poisoned on a quest or whatever and forget your antipoisons in your bank. The prayer can save your life. They're not meant for a substitute for antipoisons for training. Only thing I would like changed is that those two were combined to one prayer that absorbed both poison and venom.

Your response is really lackluster, let me explain:

Prayers that "save your life during a quest" What????????????? Do you NOT bring a form of teleport with you when you quest? Cause if you don't at that level, you seriously need to rethink your Runescape life. They're dead ass prayers, all 4 of them. The ONLY two worth it are the two we asked for. Those 4 other prayers are DEAD CONTENT.

The robes: Yea, I think these are one of the better items, but have you even read real players responses? No one will take them to PVM (except Zul rah) because they HAVE NO DEFENCE. This is the same reason you DON'T SEE PEOPLE USING VOID AT GWD! Why??? because IT LACKS DEFENCE. Ahrims is all around a better set, in every circumstance. PVP, PVM, Ahrims will rule due to its high defence. (Do you even runescape at a high level?)

The Mauls/ Wand: Are meh updates, if you haven't tried them, go ahead. They aren't anything spectacular and the Bludgeon is STILL a better weapon that the maul.... The Wand got nerfed hard and you think it's "fair?" Get outta here.

These rewards are TERRIBLE for the largest PVM update we've gotten in over a year. Our last huge PVM Update??? WAS GWD! What did that give us? 2 sets of BIS gear, 4 GS with unique abilities and uses, the BIS staff AND BIS Spear. But with the newest biggest update, that we've waited for over a year now... Shouldn't bring ANYTHING useful gear wise, and lastluster prayers. They can just give us the prayers on a miniboss over the FIVE MAN RAIDS.

Continuing my last post: These rewards are absolutely terrible, for a 5 man dungeon you expect me to vote yes to no good rewards? Im also fed up with how, every dev blog, you guys are just taking more and more rewards out of the list and not adding in anything at all. First is was the scrolls, now its the Dragon pl8. It's sad that the best item in this whole list is the Dragon Thrownaxe and it will not be a dungeon worth camping.

You NEED to give us new items, augments or something of the sort to be used on current level 70 gear. That way, nothing bad happens to the BIS gear currently, but the new items will only add strength to our current meta. Not only would that make the items high in demand, but it would instantly make this raid camp-able, whilst not destroying the value on the current items. It would also allow promotion of newer players, since they would still be able to farm GWD effectively AND we'd still have the option of solo/duo bosses... Or the 5 man dungeon. It would also allow for harder, more unique future boss updates.

Finally, I'd like to mention that I would like to see some type of degradable buff added to the rewards. I thought the scrolls you offered were amazing, however, I did not like that they lasted forever. I would like to see them back into the blog, but as degradable enchantments. Let me explain how they would work briefly ( Any Values I present are mere examples and are, by no means, the real values I want to see. )
Scrolls: Degradable, one-time uses, there would be ones for weapons, shields, armor,Jewelry, and gathering items. Each could offer endless amounts of buffs, ranging from Boss damage, to general stat boosts, offering better chances of procs, faster spec regen, better xp, chances at double resources, the possibilities ARE endless. With the right numbers, these items can be a great addition to the game. There should also be different forms of the scrolls that last X or Y times (based on rarity)

This is now the THIRD revision of rewards for raids, and you all still haven't gotten it right. You took away Dragon Platebody, which many have been wanting for quite some time, and didn't offer anything in this list to REPLACE IT.

The other rewards are minimal at best. There is no hype here. None what so ever.

And let me get this straight.... You took out Dragon Platebody, yet kept the useless Dragon sword? LMFAO! I mean, WTF.

Also, why 75 prayer requirement for robes? The new robes will be only SLIGHTLY better than Ahrims, yet you want a double requirement for them? Ridiculous.

For the difficulty and time and effort that will most likely have to go into raiding to even receive these rewards, there are no incentives at all with this list. You have fell short...yet again.

Scrap this whole list and try again. ~ Double Thumbs DOWN! ~

Based on results I've seen on the tournament worlds, the wand is really weak. The accuracy difference is not noticeable (as I suspected would be the case), it' will not be able to get kills as SoTd w/ z flames can and the autocast is not enough to make up for the 10% lower damage.

The only real use I see for it is bursting/barraging. Either give it some perk or lower its accuracy (to around 17) and give it a built in spell to allow mages to use venge.
OSRS Mage Tank.


Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.
