Wow,nice work on elder maul ,previously was garbage... cause of the accuracy now it's best in slot item for 2h wep ,godsword still will be good cause of spec attacks,but could u buff d sword like the str bonus, 54 or 53 max hit atm with damage increase with max str,with current food in pvp,people can easily out-eat that ,srsly people shouldn't be afraid of weapon which has identical spec to vls but it's nerfed,u could buff it a little so max hit is 58 perhaps?Because what would happen if u will release d sword with stats it has,it'll be rarely used like abyssal dagger,and with update after update if u keep adding same tier weapons there will be no point in having them all cause one would give for example +4 str bonus other +4 acc ,and basically what i'm trying to say don't add a lot of useless same tier weapons into the game with identical stats,which would make items worthless,rarely used.

Please make rigour and auguries defensive enhancement corelate with the combat triangle. Rigour shouldn't offer 25% melee defence. Range tanks are quite strong as it stands. It should offer 25% magic defence instead. As should augury not provide 25% range defence. It should provide 25% melee defence.

This would kill their usefulness for PvM. This also isn't how piety works.

@Brad, is that a joke/troll attempt? Gano was completely broken in every way.
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.

just no...

You do realize that this OP "end game" gear is what destroyed runescape before right?

The slow power creep is what led to them deciding to go and do the EoC in the first place, in an attempt to rebalance the game. This was due to the fact that you could very nearly one hit just about anyone with all 3 corners of the triangle if your RNG was good enough (mage just had really accurate 35s or so that you couldn't out heal).

If you make gear that is defensive and offensive at the same time, such as these new armours, you will slowly go down that road once again. I do not have a problem with gear that you cannot hybrid in, that gives poor defensive stats, and decent offensive stats. That is okay, as it definitely has limits and weaknesses.

Gear that is just better in every aspect, however, has no place in this game. Go back to what you were doing with the Kodai robes before. Unable to brid, and poor defensive stats. That actually made sense. This newly buffed gear, does not.

I like everything in this, all of the changes are fantastic. With the exception of the name of the wand now. I was really hyped to have an elder wand. (big harry potter fan) but if you don't change it back, that's fine, I don't care TOO much, just hope we get an elder wand at some point :)

I would like to make a suggestion for Elder Armor. After comparing the stat increase between Torag's and Elder it seems Elder is a bit under powered. I will be suggesting two different versions of Elder armor, the numbers I'm using are based on averages between tiers of armor.

The first I would like to recommend is more along the lines of the original plan, a simple .5 tier upgrade over Torag's with stats shown below.

Elder Helm
Offensive
Stab:3 Slash:3 Crush:3 Magic:-6 Range:-6
Defensive
Stab:65 Slash:68 Crush:75 Magic:-3 Range:63
Other
Strength:5 Prayer:2
Elder Platebody
Offensive
Stab:5 Slash:5 Crush:5 Magic:-30 Range:-10
Defensive
Stab:165 Slash: 164 Crush:154 Magic:-6 Range:183
Other
Strength:6 Prayer:2
Elder Platelegs
Offensive
Stab:4 Slash:4 Crush:4 Magic:-21 Range:-10
Defensive
Stab:105 Slash:106 Crush:101 Magic:-5 Range:107
Other
Strength:5 Prayer:2

The second I would like to recommend is more along the lines of a tier 80 armor but I feel this would have its place in the game.

Elder Helm
Offensive
Stab:-5 Slash:-5 Crush:-5 Magic:-6 Range:-6
Defensive
Stab:80 Slash:84 Crush:81 Magic:5 Range:83
Other
Strength:0 Prayer:2
Elder Platebody
Offensive
Stab:-5 Slash:-5 Crush:-5 Magic:-30 Range:-15
Defensive
Stab:187 Slash:186 Crush:177 Magic:15 Range:195
Other
Strength:0 Prayer:2
Elder Platelegs
Offensive
Stab:-5 Slash:-5 Crush-5 Magic-21 Range-10
Defensive
Stab:127 Slash:125 Crush:129 Magic: 12 Range:132
Other
Strength:0 Prayer:2

These are just my suggestions based on the relationship between other armors. The average power increase per tier is about 30% or so not accounting for strength or prayer. The top stats reflect a 1/2 tier upgrade over Torag's or about a %15 increase. The lower stats reflect what the stats of a tier 80 armor should be with a 30% increase.

Thanks for the read guys!

Have Raids even passed a poll.

The original zeah poll did not mention raids and also said any significant changes/additions would be polled separately I looked through all the polls since then and I cant find any poll for raids.

I found a dev blog where they talked about the second batch of zeah and raids but still not polled.

So are the content team spending a lot of time on rewards for something that has not been polled.

If anyone knows of such a poll please give me the title and date of it.

Funny, that. I went looking to see if raids had been polled about a week ago. I couldn't find where they had been either.

Nope, I think this time they're just gonna shove it on through with no regard to player support. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

Since the last developer blog we have removed several of the less useful prayers. We have also removed the Defence requirement on Augury and Rigour.
If you're removing the def req fom these prayers, why is it STILL on piety?

Make them fair, and either leave the def req on the new ones, or remove it from Piety...after all, they're the SAME EFFIN PRAYERS, just for different combat styles. 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'
