This thread was started after I realized people with 1 defense and deep pockets could get unfair defense bonuses. People at one herblore can't make prayer pots? So why should people with one defense get furies and dhide?

 

 

 

Here are some commonly used armors I see that should have a defense requirement in my opinion:

 

 

 

Dragon Hide:

 

I think all of it's parts should require defense requirements equal to their ranged requirements. Even legs and vambs.

 

Green: 40

 

Blue: 50

 

Red: 60

 

Black: 70

 

 

 

Mystic Robes: Defense of 40 to match the magic requirement

 

 

 

Fire Cape: 70 defense. This thing blows all other capes out of the water stat wise.

 

 

 

RFD Gloves: Defense level to match the armor whose color they are (Mithril= 20 Rune=40, barrows=70 ect)

 

 

 

I might think of more later. Comments?

Do you want to die? A lynch mob of pures will be chanting for you blood within minutes.

Personally, I like the idea. I'm not a pk'er by any measure though, so I don't know how this will affect them.

The idea is to return balance between Defense, Strength, and Attack. Granted 99 def still won't be as powerful as 99 strength but at least it will make rune pures and 1 def pures think twice about their low defense levels.

I only support dragonhide amour and mage amour to require defence level to wear them.

 

Other than that, no sorry...

Agreed. However i think 60 defence for Onyx Jewellery is too low. Also, you get the rewards from Heroe's quest to use glories, so unless they make the requirement for Heroe's Quest to have at least 50 defence it wouldn't work for dragonstone items.

 

 

 

But i support.

Change Onyx to 70 defence then.

Kinda kills of some pures. Lots of rants going to errupt on RSOF...

I only feel that amour, dragonhide and PTP mage set needs defence requirement.

Dragon stone is currently matching the defense requirements of granite, and Onyx is matching Dragon armors. I can't find jewelry that I would consider "Barrows" strength.

how about needing non combat skills as well like the fury could require 40 RC and 50 magic to wear to control the power in the fury amy

i like the idea but then it would defeat the idea of pures

 

maybe we should make weapons require same defence as attak then there would be no point to runescape....

The reason why they don't do this is because they don't want to get flamed by pures.

 

 

 

However much I like it, I'd have to say no.

What he meant to say is, that's way too much ;)

No, the idea is that people with one defense should have the same protection as a level 3 even if their strength is 99. I purposely put glories and furies out of a rune-pure's reach. I want all three combat stats to be as important as the next one and this is helping defense make a come back. Screw the pures, they are only exploiting flaws in the combat system.

Kinda bad idea... Like they said, what would some pures be able to wear? I mean the ammies go a bit too far... Why don't you treat pures the same as you treat impures? You may say "well, pures aren't meant for the game", etc, but I find the def reqs are too far reaching. I mean power ammies don't even give amazing bonuses, yet 40 def...? The only thing 1 def pures can wear are accuracy ammies -.- ...

I can wear black D hide chaps at 1 def?! Wy not just have 1 def on rune platelegs.. -.-

 

 

 

 

 

(Support btw)

Sorry, but I hate these threads. If you discriminate pures like this, you aren't any better then the ones that whine about everything...

Yay, I hate purs anyway.

Agreed.

why would i need a defense level to wear an amulet, that is pretty dumb

 

 

 

no one needs a requirement in real life to go the store and buy a necklace :roll:

 

 

 

other than that, i can see your point for the other things, not sure i support it though

^ This is what I'm talking about.

Other than that most pures drop trade items, are immature loudmouths, and abuse a flaw in the combat system? I am all for depowering pures. You should NOT be able to use high level items without the stats. If Jagex has the spine to fix the Prayer Interface Bug, which was used by probably 85% of the RS population, then I know they are capable of making it so that pures could not wield d hide chaps and furies. So what if a bunch of whiny 9 year olds flood the rants forum? That's what stickies and mods are for. Lock the excess threads and ban the creators. After enough miscreants are banned, the others will get the message and stop replicating threads about it.

As it's written.

 

Everything that add defence to players' defence require defence level to equip.
