Finally this blog is here, hopefully I'm not posting too late in the thread for my suggestion to be heard.

The major problem with Divine / Elysian wasn't their passives, it was that the passives broke the combat triangle allowing them to tank all 3 corners at once, essentially making it so they were the best tank shields in slot for anything.

The best way to fix that problem is to make the shields only able to affect one corner at a time, through a morph option, or something along those lines. That way, they still retain their value, and basically every use, but aren't nearly as overpowering. For example, you could right click the shields and choose mage/range/melee, and its passive would apply to that combat style.

As they currently are, I cannot see them passing, because they really are overpowered in PvP. If you fix that problem somehow, they should be able to pass (I don't see a concern for Arcane / Spectral).
Ely is fine IMO, but the divine rework is hardly a rework at all and as Ronan pointed out if they reduce it any more it will be worse than the ely. I think your idea would be good for the divine though, definitely.

Original message details are unavailable.
The Arcane Spirit Shield should give +5 magic attack along with its other bonuses to be balanced

Even with the range defense of the arcane combined with full tank gear (Which with arcane, would be Torag/verac helm+guthan legs), range would still be mage's lowest defense. They would still be weak to rangers. I see no problem with it.
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.

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.
No.
With those stats spirit shield will be a 20m split max.

i love how ppl who r prob like lvl 80 posting on this post as if they got any knowledge of the game lm***

the ppl who have over max cash r the only ppl ingame who will own a divine for the first 5 months

divine will stay max cash for atleast 8 months if not longer when the first few come into the game they will go for atleast 3b if not more
I doubt it will be 3b, or max cash for 8 months, but I can see it being a very expensive item.

You're both reluctant to nerf the Divine any further in fear that it would be worse than the Elysian, and adamant on keeping the Elysian exactly as it was. If making the Divine balanced requires making it less powerful than the Elysian, doesn't that mean that the Elysian is overpowered as well?

Regardless, changes I'd suggest:
- Arcane gives +[13-15] magic attack instead of +20
- Spectral gives +32 magic defense instead of +30 (minor)
- Elysian has 70% chance to reduce damage by [18-20]%
- Divine reduces damage by 20% instead of 25%, 1/2 of reduce damage is drained from prayer as always
