Dragon Claws: The Special attack should use 100% of your special attack energy.

That will make them, quite literally, useless.

It's not like they're OP anyway; not with our current gear and prayers.

Just poll the defense requirement for new prayers already. Will it be locked behind kings ransom also?

Has been polled, passed, level 70 defence, and no. Nope.

Everything looks good, including the mage armour but,

Have to vote no on the Elder and Twisted armours again, at a mere 100k/h it won't take long for Bandos and Armadyl armour to become alch price (not literally but seriously devalued).

People can say whatever, but even at slayer people are going to spend the mere 70k/h (body and legs) for a 10%+ increase in exp.

I'm all for the armours, I just think they need a real price. Considering it's higher level gear, for higher level content (which normally offers more rewards), it should cost more like 250-500k/h in my opinion

Don't overlook what nex did, this is no different :|

All of this is just horrible, d claws y'all for real? I dont even remember raids being polled, even got new firecape designs being discussed when I'm pretty sure that failed the polls too. Everyone knows jagex has run outta steam and their ideas are retarded. Stick to finishing quest lines and updating dead content IMO no new skills/bis armour. At this rate we gonna need a new 07scape by the time the community finished ruining this one. No to everything here but that won't stop another reworked design being polled again lol.

Hi all, I am an oldschool die hard and hate rs3. That's the bias that I bring to this.

I anticipate voting no to almost everything because I disagree with how you are handling this game.

I think that raids could be a cool endgame thing that gives enjoyable and useful rewards. I just don't have faith that you're going to be able to do this right. And why are we rushing towards, presumably, endgame gear? Let the game breathe. There are unfinished quest lines and unfinished areas. Just please don't do any areas like Zeah....Look at this beautiful game that was made and try to build on that integrity. Please. Stop forcing your lame, rs3 recycled garbage content.

I am not opposed to raids. I am not opposed to change. I am all for cool endgame raids that give sick gear and weapons. I do not want this right now, and I sure as heck don't want it like this. And that may be what she said but it's the truth for me and this raid-reward stuff.

LONG LIVE OLDSCHOOL

D Claws: No. They were kinda cool back in the day. I think they fit with the game at least and it would excite a lot of people. Has the potential to be lame/broken.

Ancestral Robes: Yes. I don't use mage much myself but I don't think there are enough high level robes out there. My friend mages often and I look at her rs life and she can use like ahrim's or infinity and doesn't really have any other options. So good quality mage robes are much needed although honestly I think there should be some godwars ones.

Twisted Bow: No. unnecessary. Seems weird and potentially OP and niche.

Twisted Buckler: No. Although this seems alright

Dinh's Bulwark: No. For some odd reason I feel like this fits with oldschool...but this is really, really stupid lol.

Elder Crap
Kodaiaia Crap
Twisted Crap

^^^Get this rs3 garbage out of here. And honestly my biggest problem with it is that it degrades. I hate that.

A few positives ....I do think all this is a step in the right direction at least, and the best suggestions yet. I feel like I was given more information than past suggestions and I like that a lot. I also like the stat pictures that are like in the runescape theme. It's way easier for me to read it than when it's in a simple, white column for some reason.

Conclusion:
I think this is a step forward at least and I really like that you give us more information and are trying to take community feedback. Ultimately I think that all these rewards are not good enough and that you should just hold of on raids. I think raids have some great potential and I would look forward to doing them but I think they need more work. Which is fine! Delay them and put them out when everything is ready. All the rewards are pretty lame to be honest. Dragon sword is trash (as a raid reward). Give it an awesome quest! It does not belong in raids. Everything else is trash with the exception of the ancestral robes.The top tier armor sucks and a raid without epic gear is just gonna be a fail.

Here is a bold suggestion . Hold off on raids until you get things figured out. In the meantime work on balancing and working on what already exists. Come out with a sweet update to godwars that has godwars mage armor. You guys could design some sick,
zamorak
and/or
saradomin
godwars mage robes. It'd make sense too...I think it would be lovely if the game had some more higher level mage robes out there and armadyl has ranged on lockdown and bandos takes care of melee.
