Zantareous Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 From what I understand (using the combat triangle)... If your opponent is using magic, you should wear ranged armour. If your opponent is using ranged, you should wear melee armour. So... If your opponent is using melee, you should wear... magic armour? That doesn't seem right.

Saradomin_Mage Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The way they restatted armour means that magic armour gives more defence against melee attacks than melee armour. So yeah, you could wear magic armour to get better defense against melee attacks, at the cost of accuracy to ranged/melee attacks of your own if you wear body/leg armour or shields. 1 In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Sy_Accursed Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 With the restating its quite simple and follows the triangle. Generally speaking most monsters conform thusly:Monsters with a melee weakness use ranged attacks.Ranged is weak to Melee.Melee armour will minimise damage they do and maximise your damage from weapons. Monsters with range weakness use magic attacks.Magic is weak to Ranged.Ranged armour is gd mage def Monsters with magic weakness use melee.Melee is weak to magemage armour is gd melee def. 2 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...
Ginger_Warrior Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 ^ Generally, that's correct. Some monsters use attacks which target their own weakness though, like Skeletal Wyverns (weak to fire magic) using ranged attacks, which hits magic armour pretty hard. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
