Nex Armour.

[Noxx]

Well i'm getting to the point where money is starting to become almost useless to me. I'm days away from maxing my buyables afterwhich the only things to spend money on would be armour and supplies for MHing. I've been having thoughts about buying a Nex Armour piece simply for the healing ability as this should have an impact on trip lenghts and such. The problem is, at the moment i have 103m. I should have about 120m after selling the left over supplies i have in a day or two. The only item i would be close to is a Virtus mask. Now this is where i find myself unsure about what to do. My main use for it would most likely be DKs. I can't see myself using a Virtus Mask ofer say, a Verac/Neit helm at Bandos/TDs even if the healing is improved.

Now with my current setup i have the following (this is using a Verac Helm):

 

Stab Attack: 122 (when Rapier is equiped)

Magic Attack: -8 (when SoL is equiped)

 

Melee Defense: ~350

Maguc Defense: 40/57 (Rapier/SoL)

Ranged Defense: ~390

 

Now if i exchange the Verac Helm for a Virtus Mask it doesnt affect me Melee Attack but it does bring my Mage Attack up to 7. Bot my Melee and Ranged Defence take a -50 plunge though. So the question would be: If i were to buy a Virtus Mask and replace it with a Verac Helm, would the extra healing make up for the Defense loss? Would i get more out of it?

Would i ever be able to use it anywhere else without looking like an idiot who just happened to stumble upon a Nex item? (somehwere such as Sara/Bandos/Zammy/Arma solo?)

 

I would, ofcourse, upgrade to more usefull Nex items as time goes by.

 

Thoughts on this?

If you were using the setup you posted before, you should use arcstream + arcane spirit shield. Your magic attack really shouldn't be below 0 after that.

 

I don't think it's worth using any Virtus at dks, just torva, and only a little of that. You are mostly limited by prayer at DKS, not health.
