Interesting topic, but...

 

 

 

 

Cons with Void knight melee:

 

1. Takes long time to get. (can be discussed)

 

2. Lower defence bonuses.

 

3. No black mask.

 

 

These are pretty big negatives. I do most of my melee training via Slayer, so the black mask is important. The defence of the void armor is rubbish, so unless you are only killing low-level monsters, it's going to hurt.

 

 

 

All that for a very marginal benefit at best. So no, I don't think it's underrated.

[VjuliusT]

Not everyone Is using slayer but yes that's a big down.

 

 

 

It adds up quite a bit on higher level players.

 

 

 

And it's cheap, perfect for medium leveled players.

idk but is't it +10%damage? because it wil then probaly be more bonus than the prayer would give (idk might be worth cheking) but do remember that dragon boots also give a bonus to (idk how to spel this word:) acuary and some other stuff could to

[VjuliusT]

Your post fail.

[x1992x]

and you can use the salve ammy giving 20 more % damage :D

Dark gloves also give +12 to all attack bonuses, better than void knight's +10%.

 

 

 

Void knight is pretty much useless, even if using it with ranged you are missing out on the ranged bonuses from hide.

[VjuliusT]

And by lower players everyone have barrows gloves, much cash to buy the good gear?

 

 

 

Yes for higher levels this is a drawback but for low-medium players it's quite good.

I've had barrows gloves since like... level 80 or so? You include in your example of gear a fire cape, anyone with a fire cape should probably have barrows gloves by now.

 

 

 

If you have the time to get full void knight melee you easily have enough time to complete recipe for disaster.

 

 

 

I also think you're totally forgetting about defence bonuses, they are as important as offence bonuses most of the time.

[VjuliusT]

Close I'm so sorry I brought up something that was deep down.

[Jordanweb]

Btw this is a comparison of the 2:

 

 

 

Normal gear:

 

 

 

 

Strength bonus: 128

 

Slash attack bonus: 124

 

 

 

Void knight gear:

 

 

 

 

Strength bonus: 117 (107 + 10%)

 

Slash attack bonus: 123 (112 + 10%)

 

 

 

Normal gear clearly wins by far, having better bonuses in attack, strength and almost double the defence bonuses of void knight, could also be used with black mask.

 

 

 

Edit:

 

I guess my calculations was unwelcome here.

 

 

 

Your calculations were welcome here, they were just proven to have flaws, if they were unwelcome i wouldn't have spent 20 minutes making the above comparisons.
