TheAncient Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I was just looking at the KB article for staff of light when I noticed the stats on the new "full" slayer helm were quite interesting: +3 Mage attack+3 Range attack+10 Mage defense+30 Range defense+30 Melee defense Compare this to verac's helm, which is the helm typically used by mages in PvP:-6 Mage attack-2 Range attack+0 Mage defense+56 Range defense+60 Melee defense In clan wars / safe PvP, the slayer helm seems to be a pretty viable choice for mages or mage/range hybrids!It has 9 more mage attack than verac's helm - this is pretty huge!+10 Mage defense is also quite good. You're really only sacrificing 25 range defense, 30 melee defense, and 3 prayer. However I think the +9 / +10 mage bonuses make it well worth it. Comments?

Ermy Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think the reason most people use verac's is because of the prayer bonus. Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncient Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think the reason most people use verac's is because of the prayer bonus. +3 Prayer bonus is really trivial in PvP situations, so I don't think so. +3 Prayer bonus is, at worst, a matter of sipping 1 extra ppot dose.

shadowmpire Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 you forget cost and effort to get a full slayer helm the 400 slayer points the black mask, a focus sight and a hexcrest costing over 4m to use. and u need quests and over 85 combat and 52+pot or 55 crafting. veracs just need 70 defense and the 4.2m. anyway most would rather have neit for the str bonus over veracs def bonus.

I think he's right on the prayer bonus. It is usually used because of that and its high melee defence. The new helm has neither, so you may as well wear an Ahrim's hood. Want to be my friend?

You forget that people play 300 games of mobilizing armies to get +4 stats on their rings. Or that people pay 100M+ for spirit shields. sseli, on 08 February 2010 - 07:39 PM, said:Ermin66, on 08 February 2010 - 03:38 PM, said:I think the reason most people use verac's is because of the prayer bonus. +3 Prayer bonus is really trivial in PvP situations, so I don't think so. +3 Prayer bonus is, at worst, a matter of sipping 1 extra ppot dose.

No... ahrim's hood as no range defense. Again - melee defense isn't too important in safe pvp. The only real threat melee poses in safe PvP is claw specs. Mage defense is so much more important. As long as you don't get barraged, you can tank. If you get barraged, you get piled. Ever wanted to find street prices of RS items?
