i change my statement above that scythe is decent if you dont have to charge it now that att speed has been changed from 5 to 7.

new feedback on the scythe is that its quite useless everywhere

nothing good here beyond the defender the way I see it. dont find these rewards to be fitting at all.

I'm a bit confused with the Sanguinesti staff . So this is basically a trident (built-in spell costing 4 blood runes) with healing abilities? Why do we need that? I was looking forward to a magic weapon with special attack aimed for PvP. It could be a 2h staff and cast spells each 3.6 sec, which is 1 tick slower than other staves, to make it much more unique over other magic weapons. Proposed stats: +30 magic attack/defence and +30 magic damage + a fitting special attack. Now you have a slow, but hard-hitting staff.

Ghrazi rapier: Well then. The stats are quite balanced to start off with that, but the problem with top-tier dps melee weapons is that the system is very fragile due to how many weapons which are situational BiS atm (whip for dps, bludgeon for strength, hasta for stab, bss for dps for pures, arclicht for demons, abby dagger for 1h strength). A new weapon will eventually devalue one or several of these in some way. Again I'm not quite a fan of it being non-degradeable. This makes it better than whip, bludgeon and partly hasta (still BiS at corp and multi-style weapon). That said, I'm not opposed to having a new top-tier melee weapon from such a huge piece of content like this, if it's introduced the right way.

Personally, I would rather have a 5-tick weapon to make it more unique. Due to how the game works, almost every viable melee weapon is a 4-tick weapon. Basically, it is a 2h spear (or longsword) with very good dps as high defence monsters (similar to tent whip + defender), while also providing a small special healing effect depending on your opponent's max health. This doesn't devalue other weapons directly, but gives a strong weapon to use against bosses. Also it's charged with blood runes.

Justiciar armour: Nice to see some good tank armour with a special effect benefitting you having max defence. It remains to see how useful it would be though, since dps > tanking is the general rule of this game. What I would like to see is the armour to have extra perks while worn inside Raids 2 ., which is something I would love to see more of. This could for intance be 1/2500 reduced incoming damage instead of 1/3000, or a "vengeance"-like effect where a portion of any hit above 20 is dealt back to your opponent. This could make it even more desireable to wear the armour inside Raids 2. The Scythe of Vitur is a very interesting weapon, basically bringing AoE weapons to melee. Again, why can't it degrade and be charged with vials of blood and/or blood runes? I feel the balancing on this one is crucial, as it easily can turn out OP af or useless. Which one is determined as your 1st, 2nd and 3rd target. Is it central, right, left like with rune thrownaxe?

* On the note of tank armour, I propose a add-on (colossus frame) to Dinh's Bulwark to give it a completely unique effect for tanking. Same stats and reqs as before. Special effect: Simply speaking: It redirects some of the damage from any AoE attack, that otherwise would have hit your teammates, back to you. A percentage of the REDIRECTED damage would be negated completely. This means you’re tanking not only for yourself, but for others too, which is great if you can handle the extra incoming damage that is. Ironmen are unaffected. It may be limited how many places this actually will come in handy (multiple style AoE attacks), but it's certainly something that could be looked upon for the design of future content.

With Infernal defender , I kinda wanted it to have a backlash effect on yourself or some degrading mechanics insted of a plain upgrade to an already strong dragon defender. The stats are not wrong, but the desire for dfs has not increased with this one. I really like the Judgement prayer and glad that you took this player suugestion. This is what i like to see: provide a powerful offensive effect ideal for dwh specs, but at the same time lowers your defence significantly, acts as a self-smiting prayer and an overhead prayer, which in sum makes you vulnerable the few secs you use it. Nice

I see you try again with the Vampyric vambraces (which already has flipped the ranger gloves market), and frankly their stats are spot on for new BiS ranged gloves. However, there is an two underlying problems with this. For every new BiS ranged equipment introduced to the game, especially if it provides ranged strength bonus, the blowpipe becomes even more OP than it already is. The dhcb already has been buffed out of proportions to even compete with the blowpipe against dragons. Note that this problem doesn't lies with the new vambraces, but with the blowpipe. AND, the ranger gloves are so rare that the add-on probably won't be worth very much at all.

[Suggestion]: Efaritay's Charm (75 HP) . Being blessed by Saradomin, Queen Efaritay’s ring is what you want to wear if facing vampyres (which is relevant in Theatre of Blood I guess). Special effects: Increases max HP with 5 when worn (great for dharoking), 10% damage reduction against vampyric creatures (dmg + acc increase against vampyres inside Raids 2). Can be charged with Efaritay’s aid [link url=http://oldschoolrunescape.wikia.com/wiki/Efaritay's_aid][/link] much like how the ring of suffering can be charged with ring of recoils. Immune to blood tithes from Vyrewatch when worn as well.



Done. Enough spamming on the forums for now
