Merged both the threads.

+22% melee soak off Ahrim's hood, top and skirt. Beastly :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

won't wearing armor like robes vs melee actually incur more damage than it actually soaks because of the lower defence stats on the armor?

* Advisor Ghrim now understands what "No" means when deciding not to collect resources.

 

Didn't know this was an issue, no means no Grhim!

A few preliminary Figures:

 

Bandos Chestplate: +9% Range, +4% Melee

Neitiznot Helm: +2% Melee +4% Range

Obby shield: +11% Range +5% Melee

Dragon Square: +11% Range +5% Melee

3rd Age Kite: +11% Range, +5% Melee

Rune Plate: +3% Melee, +6% Range

Rune Legs: +2% Melee, +4% Range

Rune Kite: +3% Melee, +7% Range

Rune Full Helm: +1% Melee, +3% Range

Rune Chain: +3% Melee, +6% Range

Rune Square: +3% Melee, +7% Range

Torag/Guthan/Verac/Dharok's Helm: +2% Melee, +5% Range

Torag/Guthan/Verac/Dharok's Skirt/legs: +3% Melee, +7% Range

Torag/Guthan/Dharok's Plate: +5% Melee, +10% Range

Mystic/Dagon'hai Robebottom: +2% Melee, +1% Magic

Mystic/Dagon'hai Robetop: +3% Melee, +1% Magic

SPIRIT SHIELDS: NO SOAK (except for Div/Ely's obviously)

DRAGONFIRE SHIELD: NO SOAK!

 

Will keep updating this list.

 

Looks like OBBY SHIELDS are the biggest winner out of this, I managed to get 10 before they were bought out...

10 is the trade limit on obby shields I think, as I just bought 10 as well.

That soak on obby shields is really awesome, compared to other equipement:

 

guthans platebody (3% melee, 10% ranged, 0%),

verac skirt (3% , 7% , 0%)

slayer helmet (0% , 0% , 0%)

all boots, gloves & capes 0%

Seems VERY strange that spirit shields and dragonfire shield are given no soak at all, or perhaps jagex is compensating for the fact that the chaotic shields suck...

hmm they follow the 1:2 pattern so if there's 3% x and 7% y the 3% is actually 3.5 ?

guthans platebody has 3% melee, 10% range soak

well then 1:x :D ? (in that case 3.33% and 10%)

These new armours could make Jad a bit easier.

 

No more 1 hit if you miss a prayer switch?

I honestly cant believe it took Jagex THIS long to allow Duke Horacio to outright give out more anti-dragon shields. Although youve been able to drop get one and pick up for ever anyway. : ) just a thought

Well it's not exactly high priority is it.

These new armours could make Jad a bit easier.

No more 1 hit if you miss a prayer switch?

And Nomad as well ... The near 1 hit kill .. and 20% soaking .. that's ~-150 dmg.

Granite shield: +5% melee +10% range

Granite helm: +2% melee +4% range

Granite legs: +2% melee +5% range

Granite body: +4% melee +8% range

Runecrafter robes do not give soak of any kind.

 

GF f2p mage.

 

Dg armor also do not soak. They officially still suck.

I'm pretty interested to see how this update is going to affect the price of dclaws. Won't be surprised if they rise past the 33m mark they were settled on before they crashed.

 

This makes chaotic kite an even better substitute for DFS, (albeit without the str bonus) shame that a 200k obby shield has almost the same soaking stats as the chaotic shields though.

I dont think the soaking will work on Nomad. He has special attackes that hit you for set amounts and for LP-1 etc. Might be better for his other, regular, attacks though.

But nomads attacks can't be blocked by prayers, so one would assume perhaps damage soaking doesnt touch em either.

 

As its a mage attack, but some sort of special mage attack that ignores prayer and all mage defence, so why shuld soaking be any diff?

Dunno if it's been mentioned yet, but Mod Easty posted this earlier

 

This was actually updated, just missed off of the news post. I'll have a word with our editors to get that added.

 

You are now able to left click on the "collapsed" menu to perform the default action, such as "Take" on objects.

Hm, curious to see how this will affect my tanking in PvP :razz:

And Nomad as well ... The near 1 hit kill .. and 20% soaking .. that's ~-150 dmg.

His ultimate attack is probably of an 'uncategorized' (meaning not melee, range nor magic) damage type, so soaking won't affect it.

And thank god for that :P

 

Ok, I don't play much anymore. What armor is that?
