Like the nerf on Elder Armour strength bonus to match bandos, still think that either a) the defensive bonus's need to be reduced in line with barrows gear or b) the armour has to cost an insane amount to recharge fully. Otherwise stuff like bossing in this gear (e.g GWD) would just become to easy.

Honestly dissapointed in the removal of the defence requirement on rigour and augary. If the level 70 mele equivalent has a defence requirement for it why shouldn't the others? They all boost your defensive stats. either remove the defensive requirement from obtaining piety or add it back to the other two. In order to move forward in life you sometimes need to take a step back.

Why did you lower the strength bonus on the elder armour? Strength bonus is Everything in this game, especially with pray flicking being a thing. I will be voting no, i would rather just get nothing then. playing rs since 1976, 40 year vet cape soon

i think negative melee bonuses from ranged armor should be removed because there is not much content where you use range anyway (unless raids is going to change that)

See jagex, this is what I mean when I say meleers generally do not care about balance. I do agree with Zoobie though, magic based damage is already extremely accurate so the heavy mage def penalties of Elder are very excessive.

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

This is supposed to be endgame armour, at least give it +2 str compared to bandos. playing rs since 1976, 40 year vet cape soon

And endgame armor it is as it's better than everything else available in the game. Better dps than bandos, better defenses than barrows. That's good enough.

i think they are still really weak for the effort and rareity. im in a skype call at the moment and none of us are happy the wand is a joke. it'll be worth nothing. the melee armour has been nerfed like mad look at the magic defence its not gonna be used at places like bandos. really upset about this.

Jezus christ, I had not even looked at the magic defense.

Elder armour is DEAD CONTENT in its current state, for pking no one will use it, for PvM bandos/void will be better. Maybe at dks it would be useful but why would anyone who can afford elder armour be doing dks consistently? playing rs since 1976, 40 year vet cape soon
