Void Knight Armor Vs. Regular Armor.

[SomeGuyNamedGuy]

For lvl 99 Rangers, is full void knight ranger better than say robin hat and full black d'hide?

 

 

 

None of the rest of the armor matters, because both would be able to use it.

 

 

 

It gives +10% bonus to accuracy(?) and attack strength.

Depends what you are killing, but 95% of the time the void range is better than black hides. Anything without impossible defence you should use void for.

[compfreak847]

For low to mid defence monsters it does, but the +10% accuracy does not make up for the much greater range bonus of d hide for higher defence monsters.

yea many people have the misconception that void is the best armour for any ranger no matter what...10% is actually a pretty small bonus if you compare it to the amount of range attack bonus lost from not wearing blk d hide...the 10% damage is not going to be effective too if you are not even able to deal sufficient base damage against the monster's high def in the first place...

are you sure because my experience is that void is a lot better then blk d`hide. use hellhounds as an example which i range a few with rune arrows. with blk d`hide i can hit a max of 18 and with void i hit 23

I've had my void range gear for quite a while and I'd say that if you plan to range frequently then it really is a must have. However, as the above have said, if you are fighting something with very high defence (for example the KBD) then your black dragonhide will be of much more use to you because you will have too much trouble hitting it to notice the 10% bonus.

 

 

 

In response to the above, as others have said, you do hit higher with the void armour but you hit less frequently. Since hellhounds don't have very high defence you won't notice this so much but if you go to the metal dragons under brimhaven you'll notice the difference.

if you use safe spot=void for sure :

Void is probably your best bet 90% of the time.

 

 

 

If it is anything like a GWD boss or King Black Dragon, things of this nature... then you will want to use D'hide or Karils.

 

 

 

Common range training NPC's however, you will want to use Void 9 time out of 10. Things like Yaks, Fire giants, Ogres, Chinning (with higher range) Experiments.. things of that nature.

 

 

 

At metal dragons with high range its a toss up. Whichever you prefer is what you use. I usually use my void but other people still prefer the steady stream of hits from d'hide than a random 20 on occasion.

 

 

 

Remember just because void makes your max hit higher, that doesn't necessarily make it "better".

I'd say void is almost always better. I never use hides anymore tbh.
