Edit: Changed things around after Grimy and green pointed out my sillyness :rolleyes:

 

Melee: Barrows Gloves > Rune def in almost every single situation

 

Ranged: Black dhide/ACP > most shields

 

Magic: Um...who uses Void Mage?

 

So other than that, are there any other combinations? And as an aside, is void magic worth getting even with deflector (I'm assuming you'd replace top with Ahrim's)

Ranged: Black dhide/ACP > Any shield in most situations (except maybe tanking)

I'm confused by this statement right here.

How would you wear an ACP without void gloves.

 

regardless, void range boosts your max hit by 20%, so it's essentially always better than full black dhide/armadyl if that's what you were talking about.

Protip: if you use a ranged top with void, you're going to need the gloves too.

^Yeah. Interesting thread though

Whoops. I was thinking about...nevermind :unsure:

 

But in all melee applications, deflector + barrows gloves is the best combo in almost all situations right?

Unless you want the +10 slash/stab defender gives and take -7 str.

Defender + void gloves: 20 stab, 19 slash, 18 crush, -3 magic and -2 ranged attack. 26, 25, 24, 1, 4, 14 (summoning) defence bonusus, and +5 str.

 

Barrows gloves + deflector: 12, 12, 12, 6, 12 and 42, 42, 42, 16, 42, 36 with +12 strength.

 

Deflector + acp is the best, yes.

 

Deflector + Ahrim's top with max magic gear is very close but slightly worse than an arcane + Ahrim's setup. I got void mage because I wouldn't have to buy Ahrim's skirt or mage's book, which saves me from 10m investment for (almost) no accuracy decrease (I can't afford third-age hat or ass, so void is pretty much equal to Ahrim's).
