AHappySeeker Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Could someone explain to me why Neit is generally recommended over Verac? Are the slightly reduced penalties and +3 str really worth it over the def when bossing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 It has no attack penalties; all other helms do.

Sy_Accursed Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yes attack bonuses matter more than defence bonuses; plus the average outfit gets all defences up to like 200 - 300 anyway so 2 or 3 means nothing as it has little impact. While the attack bonus can still make a differnce.Case and point:Bandos and defenders are better than other armours and shields despite giving very limited defence.And void melee owns despite being virtually defencless Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstrMonopoly Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 But Verac's attack penalties are miniscule. Is the def really worth trading off? Yes. Actually, depends on what you're going to do. I piety the fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessan Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Verac's is good for using the whole set. Otherwise, Helm of Niet is better. Offers no attack penalties as well as a similar prayer bonus, which is the real reason behind Verac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Is_Great Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Verac's helm is good in safe pvp situations. Esp. for tribridding and stuff. It's also good when you're soloing bosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_trollz_u Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I use a verac's helm in some of my range tank setups in the wilderness. It's useful for pvp, although a torags helm would probably work just as well, and is cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHappySeeker Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I understand the applications of this type of helm. I'm just perplexed as to why you would sacrifice so much def for 2 points of ranged accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitterBug Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You don't need defense in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articultural Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You don't wear it while ranging, that's what arma/pernix is for. When meleeing you often don't need the extra defence, hence the neit's offensive bonuses make it superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
