LK1905 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Wouldn't the damage bonus on ancient armour make POP armour not worth getting, or will Jagex add a set effect/damage bonus to them as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Jagex previously mentioned that they would add set effects to POP armour so that it isn't outclassed by Nex armour. I'd have to go dig for the QFC on that, 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...

Cheefoo Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Indeed, and let's not forget that, unlike ancient/nex armour, you can continue wearing your Glacor boots and Dominion tower gloves. You need the gloves and boots for the Nex set bonuses?

Sir_Squab Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I don't have Nex gear, but I would assume so. Full Nex gear includes the gloves and boots. Rather, I don't see why boots/gloves would be excluded. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig.

It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

Sy_Accursed Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Unless Jagex fudged something Nex gloves aren't an issue since they are better than Dom ones (or were pre-tweaks this week). Also in terms of of armour the defence curve makes PoP significantly better, enough to be worth it.6999 def, 1920 lp on torva plate vs 8102 def and 2016 lp on the tradable Tetsu body vs 8932 def and 2040 lp on untradable tetsu body.

Quyneax Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You don't need boots & gloves for the Nex set effect as far as I know. Dominion tower/glacor gloves/boots are slightly better in armour than Nex boots/gloves but lack the prayer bonus (and DT gloves degrade too, of course). PoP armour is worth getting because of the promised buff, but until then Nex armour should be a little better. Nothing in the game really requires that much def atm.
