Armadyl’s overall defense bonuses:
- 94, 82, 105, 120, 98
- Notice how Armadyl will still be significantly better than Karil’s with respect to the following: no degradation, higher range attack, higher magic defense, and has prayer bonuses (+3). This is what will ultimately justify the higher cost that is observed with Armadyl versus Karil’s.
Another alternative that would work is to nerf the Blessed dragonhide so that it has melee defenses in between Black dragonhide and Karil’s. That would also solve the problem of the inconsistency between Blessed dragonhide and Karil’s. However, I still think Karil’s deserves to have the melee defense of Armadyl due to the wielding requirements, the degradation cost, and the fact that it’s a barrow’s armor.
Lastly, these ideas above are also coming from a player who does not have either Karil’s or Armadyl. I have only blessed dragonhide. I just want what’s best for the game in terms of balance. Also, what I’m proposing above with Karil’s will cause an increase in demand of this armor, which will drive up the price as well (as has already been observed with the dragonhide nerfs being announced).
Ultimately, this is how everything would look like in terms of the progression of a range player’s armor starting from black dragonhide and improving the armor to armadyl:
- black dragonhide < blessed dragonhide < karil’s < armadyl
This is different than how it is right now:
- black dragonhide = blessed dragonhide ≈ karil’s < armadyl.
(≈
approximately equal (Note: Karil’s is better only with respect to range and magic defense than dragonhide and worse in terms of prayer with respect to blessed dragonhide)
