"We would like to offer Corporeal Beast with his old drop table in tact."

I hope the regen brace is removed from the drop table, it's worth 3.3m at the moment and wouldn't like to see it dropping to alch value like has happened in RS3.

Also, 40 antidotes++ may be a little too many as they are 14k each and dropped commonly, compared to 2 antidotes++ dropped uncommonly from the Kraken boss.

25% would be perfect. With that, I'll be voting yes to everything.

EDIT: With our small playerbase, might want to consider adjusting the drop rates though. You can't have the same drop rates as it had when there was 120k+ players on at any given time. We have less then half that amount.
OSRS Mage Tank.


Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.

I'm so glad you're keeping the Prayer Drain on the shield (as you've just recently changed it). It was far more broken before, but I'd rather you lower it to 20% Mitigation with the prayer drain. That would be a lot better.
I agree.. It's not like you need an extra familiar full of prayer potions just because you have divine. The prayer drain is small to begin with and
the amount drained is effectively reduced by reducing the divine's damage reduction to 20%
. The blog said ely averages out to 17.5% damage reduction. Divine would still be about the same effectiveness of ely or slightly better. Divine should not be much more powerful than ely because ely is already very powerful.

The change proposed now, with divine being reduced from 30% to 25% there is about 17% 'nerf' to divine (this percentage is lowered slightly by the inherent lowering of the prayer drain effect, since it is based off of the amount of damage that is negated) - not too significant, but a start.

The change proposed before, with divine being reduced from 30% to 20% is a 33% 'nerf' (this percentage is lowered because the prayer drain effect would be removed.)

You have changed from an approx. 33% nerf to a 17% nerf just because of the prayer drain. Do you really believe that the prayer drain is significant enough to justify that? I don't. It would have been more balanced before.. but I'd still prefer it to drain some prayer. How about a slight compromise?

Divine effect: 22% damage reduction w/ prayer draining.

Absolutely can't wait for Corp, i'm so excited. But 1 thing that worries me is people's thinking process before they vote. They just think "Spirit shields - OP" and vote no. There is many many more factors that need to be taken into consideration before voting, such as:
How rare they are,
The cost of supplies to kill Corp,
How expensive they will be,
How not everyone will have access to them, and not everyone will just be walking around with a divine.

Corp HAS to have spirit shields or it simply won't be worth it. The return with the Corps drops have to be worth the time taken/supplies used to kill it.

This could be an absolutely fantastic update for the game and i hope people can broaden their minds past the point of voting no without any thought behind it.

As for the old school team, good job guys! You are offering everything i hoped for, now it's up to the community...

Can we get his drop table buffed? He will be the strongest boss in game, and he drops 30k items? I imagine most teams will be 3-4 minimum and a 30k split is awful. Perhaps have it drop multiple of those lower valued items in notes so they can be split easily among teams. Also we do not have charms in osrs, could corp drop something else at a decent rate like charms in the live game? Voting yes to all keep up the good work guys!

The Corp being the strongest boss is no excuse for an overpowered shield. Overpowered is overpowered. Even if it's rare, no excuse. Is a one of a kind 1-hit weapon acceptable? Of course not.

That being said, I think that the Divine Spirit Shield's damage absorb should be 15% and the Elysian should have a 70% chance of 18% damage absorb.

I think that the Arcane Spirit shield is overpowered as the mage's book gives +15 magic attack and no defense. The Arcane gives +20 magic attack and RANGE Defense. Unacceptable. The Arcane Spirit Shield should give +5 magic attack along with its other bonuses to be balanced. It'll still be popular due to it's defense and magic attack.

The Spectral Spirit Shield should be +15 magic defense. +30 is excessive, but it should be higher than the Dragonfire Shield's +10 magic defense.

These shields will still give people incentive but will not be overly convenient. Regardless of "hardest boss" or "it's super rare," balance must, must be priority. I'm a huge fan of Construction; love the skill. In particular I'm absolutely fascinated with the
Player-Owned House Dungeon.
My dream is for everyone to be able to build their own personal PvM challenge, one that rivals even current content.

mod reach confirmed that Spirit shield for any of them is 1/65.5k might take ages before a divine or ely even come into the game

a good example of how rare these would be is to look at the elite clue not a single 3a longsword/cape have come into the game yet
