the new cape should have at least the same prayer as firecape for sure. i would even want to push it to +6 prayer to match the ardounge cloak 4, so that a diary reward doesn't compete with the reward from a top tier pvm challenge (except for stab bonus i guess, but with 8 str, 6 stab seems meh)
the armor does seem useless honestly. i was stoked about this armor when it was first teased and talked about, but at its current state its seems like it doesn't serve a real purpose. its just a lesser version of things that already exist, but with a huge drawback, and the only gain being a 5 defense level difference (and presumably price eventually).
what i thought the armor was going to be when it was teased; was a set with very similar defensive stats you have on it, however with some middle ground (not too small, yet not ground breaking) melee attack stats. i think that would offer a unique perspective at that tier, and if balanced right could make people think about using it over bandos on weaker monsters that wont damage you much. it has also bothered me that attack stats aren't really present on any melee armor except helms.
also when do we get to talk about the slayer master? QAs have heavily suggested there will be a zeah slayer master there, and i also recall an idea of a slayer master that you build/shape the task list for. this would fit so well with the area and their "slayer based society". have been very giddy of that idea...
