Tyler93 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 How does the PoP armour compare to Nex armour? I'm currently working on finding all the scrolls, Have 3 or 4 sofar, So just wanting to make sure it's really worth it. So how does PoP armour compare to Nex armour? Which is better and by how much, Would the PoP armour be with it to get if I won't be able to afford Nex armour too soon? Also, What levels are needed to obtain plates and when can I obtain them? Thanks! EDIT: Incase the question comes up, I'm wondering about the Superior PoP armour. Original Account: Tylersk8shop (Joined: August 2006)99 Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints and Woodcutting.

onegppker Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 As far as I know, there is nowhere ingame except tanking bosses where the extra defense is needed. The damage boost on Nex makes it better almost everywhere. Also, it is starting to come up that PoP armors may degrade differently and do not last as long as Nex gear.

What?Can you elaborate on PoP degradation? Also, I agree, Nex, basically, is better, everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler93 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Alright sweet thanks for the information, With Nex being the best though would Tetsu be the next best and still worth getting?

Yoko Kurama Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I have just looked into the degrading thing, it basically renders the Superior(possibly also the inferior set) to cosmetic status. It's a complete joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Void. If you really need that extra def, then nex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler93 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sorry to bring up an old topic but is this quote true? I found it on Runescape Wiki so I'm not sure if it's 100% reliable, If it is though that's ridiculous. The Superior tetsu body lasts for 10 hours in combat stance before degrading. It can be repaired at a repair bench' date=' costing 1,200,000 coins at 99 Smithing. Degrades in 12 hours of combat STANCE - the equivalent of an hour of nex/drygore/chaotic etc.[/quote'] Original Account: Tylersk8shop (Joined: August 2006)99 Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints and Woodcutting.

Vezon Dash Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yes, but since it doesn't degrade by combat ticks, it doesn't matter if 100 things are attacking you at once. If you use an ability that puts you into combat stance, it will take 12 seconds off of the timer. In a way, it is better if you are constantly getting spammed by stuff.

Saradomin_Mage Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 1 hour of nex gear is definitely nowhere near a full 12 hours of combat stance, lol. 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...
