Will we be possibly seeing other rewards too, or is this Dev Blog just to spark the conversation? If possible, I would like to see:


- New potion types involving a Ranging or Magic potion mixed with either a Defence or Super Defence potion (to mirror the combat potion sets for melee)

- Another Magic weapon, or re-work of Kodai Wand. Current state isn't impressive at all, and could either use an alternative defensive based special (sponge against special attacks?) or some other useful gimmick.

- Low tier mage/range armour that focus on high prayer bonus with very low stats (to match the proselyte set for Melee)

- I would also like to see some ranged defence and additional melee defence (around rune armour level) on the Kodai robes, this would solidify them concretely as tank robes.

- A new
Magic Ring
upgrade that consumed the Seer's Ring, would be called "
Ancestral Ring
" - Provides 3% Dmg Boost - Same stats as Seer's Ring (I). - could provide infinite earth runes (to tie into its lore as an ancient earthen artifact)

- New Range Ring - +3 Rng Str - Same accuracy as Archers

Dinh's Bulwark :
It's a fun idea, but I don't see it being very useful in the end. If you really want to make something worth using, you could give it a strong passive recoil or venge effect (this would help make up for the DPS of the tank not actively attacking, and would fit with the theme of the shield).


Alternative Dinh's Bulwark Special effect ideas
:

- Group potion share effect that raises all players defense in a 5x5 area to an Overload level (this effect alone would infinitely keep Dinh's Bulwark a valuable item to PVM Teams, and therefore valuable price-wise)

- An effect to attract NPC aggressiveness towards the wielder for 60 seconds (this would ensure that the Tank is actually performing as such, in the cases where Tank cannot guarantee that every monster in the room will only be interested in them) -

Nice to see a change to raids, will edit post once I've looked at it in some more detail.

I like a lot of the rewards, really impressed with some of the original ideas you've come out with.

Some suggestions...

Elder Armour

Honestly, I'd like to see the strength bonus of each respective part upped by 1, if you feel this is too much then leave the helm the same as Serpentine I guess. I like the accuracy boost but for armour that's going to be really expensive I don't think an extra +2 strength bonus overall will make a huge difference.

Bulwark

I like the idea but you're in a tough situation where it can't be buffed too much due to the economic value of the Elysian Spirit Shield and Corporal Beast overall; I completely agree. This is a tank shield that's only real use is boosting for ironmen; which I find difficult to support.

In any standard, general PvM situation the lack of DPS overrides the value provided by a defensive 2H shield and the offensive bonuses of it, combined with the attack speed make it pretty undesirable from it's other stance as well.

I really like stuff like the dragon hunter crossbow and I'm glad you addressed range in such a way because blowpipe was becoming the be-all and end-all of range weaponry - I'd like it if this could also work on Wyverns? This would help it retain a lot of value. The twisted bow also falls into this category as well, kudos

The buckler and robes also look pretty cool, some people may express concern over the robes at places like Zulrah but the amount of people using these robes in comparison to the amount of people actively killing Zulrah is going to be far and few between.

The buckler also has a high amount of mage def but I'm glad Spectral is higher, accompanied by it's use at Cerberus the value will remain intact, thanks for considering raid rewards in this way and not throwing more content in like Dragon Sword's.

I think these rewards are much more fitting than before.

I thought the general consensus was that we DON'T want the armor to degrade...?

EDIT: Does the bow require ammunition? Or is it similar to the Crystal Bow? Nope.
