Make sigils drop 1000 shards at once if a clan chat gets the kill. Divided equally between the people. This will mean a lot less friendships lost over loot.

Multiples of 12 would work better, as 12 can automatically be evenly divided in half, thirds, fourths, and sixths (and of course, into 1 and 12). That's why RS3 uses 120 instead of 100.

So glad I didn't join old school at this point.

Obscene wealth is for party hats and looking cool not bossing gear. This will directly lead to people demanding grave stones when you have items worth this much.

These shields will have some of the highest alch values in the game. Gravestones will not be needed.

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

I really wish that we could use hastas on corp, for several reasons.

First, it let's us compensate some for the lack of summoning, overloads and curses.

But more importantly, it makes the shields that it drops very valuable for actually doing corp itself, while at the same time stabalizes the DFS.

Just my thoughts.

No, 120 is a good number because it's divisible by alot.

Even if hastas worked, you wouldn't use a DFS you would use a Divine, Ely or Rune defender, simply because the defender provides accuracy (which is needed) and div/ely would help you survive alot longer.
I would much rather have a game where we value being good and having gear over cosmetics.

You most certainly wouldn't use divine, but you are correct, Spectral, Elysian, and Rune defender would all be great options in addition to the DFS, however I don't think you realise just how hard this is going to be.

DFS provides best in slot strength bonus adding almost a +2 to max hit and subsequently average damage, as well as high all around defences and a hard to find +10 magic defense. Making it a strong contender in smaller corp teams.

To be honest, I was hyped about introducing Corporeal Beast (although I rolled a zerk in osrs, so it's not directly relevant for me). I am however very disappointed with the drops.

One thing I love about oldschool is that all the content that was 'dead' before, has once again become relevant (kbd, kq and even chaos ele eg). This is why spirit shields, to me, spirit shields are a step in the wrong direction. I think they are very overpowered, and this will make PvM'ing a lot easier, which I am in general against. I want bosses to remain difficult, not farmable.

Another thing is PvP; divine and elysian spirit shields are in no way balanced - 1 on 1 versus a divine spirit shield is straight-up pointless.
Lastly, I think it would be a mistake for the sake of malediction Ward, as spectral spirit shield would make it less relevant (as spectral spirit shield is simply a lot better).

I really want corporeal beast to be introduced, but not with the current spirit shields as drops.

You do know that's how higher leveled content usually works right?

It's logical that something with a level 75 requirement is going to be better and replace something which only has a level 60 requirement. Also I think you might've mistook Spectral for Arcane, as Arcane is the one which is better magic attack.
