Penance vs. Void?

[Saylen]

Hey guys,

 

I was wondering which would truly be better?

 

I understand Void is easier to get, so this is not about ease.

 

Mostly about stats and effectiveness.

 

Thank you, please post your answer with it's reason. :D

Void, for more reasons then I care to post.

 

Essentially though penance won't boost your DPS at all or be worthwhile in any monster hunting situation.

[Obtaurian]

Full penance is only useful for getting pro BA teams.

 

Void is useful for - like Nifflin said - more reasons than I care to post.

Uses wide I would have to say Void though fun wise, achievement wise, looks wise and respect wise I would go with penance.

Fun is subjective, I hate BA. Looks are subjective, I think it looks like crap. Respect is subjective, the full suit is relatively useless so I view it as a waste of time. Achievement I'll give you.

 

Essentially with full penance and a certain prayer bonus you can use certain prayers and not run out of points ever. It has no feasible combat capabilites however and with the cost of ppots at an all time low its not really worth having. The penance gloves are fine if you want to max your weight reduction. The torso is fine if you have a BA fetish and want to save the couple mil on buying bandos.

 

Void has a prayer bonus (elite), is the best in almost any concievable method of training range or melee, and excels at one of the best moneymakers in game TD's.

full penace doesn't do anything....other then I guess that prayer restore thing....which isn't useful anyways, other then while idle.

Void you can actually use for fighting things well.
