Saradomin_Mage Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 I really hope the slash defence cut isn't that drastically. I thought the whole point of that was to have whips and godswords bounce off your armour.If the slash defence goes down to the same rating as the stab defence then this armour is pretty much scuttled. Won't say no to 10 hour degrade time, though. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strilmus Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 "Gee, we didn't expect people to use our special new magic armor in a special new location where people are forced to use magic!" Of course, I guess they expected the degrade rate to be higher than the drops themselves...but then that would have made it pointless for pvp trips. Honestly, this is exactly what magic armor needed...a relatively accessible set of armor that provided GOOD bonuses...compared to the other two combat types, they were in need of this for the longest time. Ahrims has only recently (given the whole timeline since it has existed) been affordable, and the rest of the sets up to that point are pretty bad compared to it, excluding grifolic armor, which has only come out now. Seriously, who are they talking to when they need advice on armor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blutters Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 But... but... it isn't economical, people are just using cool new gear because it's... cool new gear. Jagex logic again >.<.What logic was it that said mage armor should outclass ranged armor in magic defense or that it should have no melee attack penalties?Most of this update was bullshit honestly. Even the 2nd set beats Black D'hide... I don't get how they can drivel on about how they're going to completely rework the combat system to be closer to the triangle and then release stupid shit like this.The staff wasn't bad. It's like a step further in making Magic decent for PvM. But just about every piece of armor overrides whatever good the staff did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piu Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Instead of tweaking the armor because of the lack of flake drops.. .. why not just increase the flake drops?

strilmus Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Considering the slash defense bonus rivals torva, I think I would be okay with this adjustment, as long as it's still workable as melee protection like melee armor. People have been too used to rushing mages with dhide, so I think they really need to get some perspective here. Of course, this means that rangers need to be able to survive long enough to kill mages, so I guess that's next on the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octarine Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Even though I disagree with the stats of the armour (should have negative melees) I'm glad they're doing something about the degrade rate, should atleast make it useable though still fairy costly.Just hope they don't overdo the decreased slash defence, that'd be kinda pointless.

strilmus Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 It is rather strange that there are no negative bonuses for melee, considering that they did so in dungeoneering, and that they should know by now why dhide was such a badly planned outcome.
