New (70/80+) Armor coming soon?

[adon1]

theres not gonna be an 80+ gear, otherwise the bonuses might exceed over 400+ defence :uhh: .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i'm pretty sure you can already get 400+ def if you tried and had the money

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i got 360+ range def bonus without a fire cape, a fury, a crystal sheild, rune boots and barrows gloves

You can actually do that already.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think this would be a good idea.

 

 

 

It would also mean, Pures couldn't use this, Although tanks could..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How would you obtain it though?

I don't see it happening; it would be overpowered, too expensive, and too hard to get. Think 3rd age.

well there needs to be... i use my guthans for healing but when was the last time you saw someone training in full torags or anything

I'd like to see armours that do some different things, not just more defence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

beserker is one great example - low def high str bonus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some sort of Kensai armour - low def high slash bonus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fury armour - average def, increases attack speed slightly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nether armour - good mage armour, acts as all elemental runes. Needs recharging with the runes (so your not getting free casts, just saving a load of space).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ranger power armour - ranger armour with less range att bonus but which also adds to range damage done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Omega armour - Not sure if this is just silly..but maybe something that's basically the stats of ahrims karils and torags rolled into one. Make it a VERY HARD to get though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Certainly make rs a bit more interesting if things like this were added.

your post has amazingness all over it, if i could give you rep points i would...lol i like the ideas.

[Coffee234]

I don't think that there is a need for a new set of armor. There are enough sets as it is. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Totally agreed :-w

[apcrump]

you can already get around 400+ range defence

[hellbellz]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd love to see 80+ armor. I'm sure hundreds of thousands of people would like the idea. And your wondering why Jagex doesn't?.. Because they don't know the best training spots [/sarcasm] But honostly, they should do this, it'd be nice.

[Aresgodowar]

im a fan of any armor that requires other stats like runecrafting or smithing or something like that. would keep people pkin with their mains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

im also a fan of def actually reducing the ammount you can be hit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for instance you can still be killed by a goblin at lev 99 def and in full torags crystal fury and def cape. it might just take a very very very long time.

Whatever anyone says level 80+ armor will only arrive when there are a HUGE amount of people who are able to use the armor, otherwise those that have the armor will sell it for outrageous prices. Just like the Dark Beast that requires level 90 slayer but drops nothing new. Many people speculate that once a great deal of people reach level 90+ slayer it'll get a new special drop.

75k people have @ least 80 def and over 200k people have 70 def. and 20k people are close(under 100k exp) away from or over 90 def.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thats a considerable amount, now i used defense because theirs a # of pures out their now due to PC and such, so i figured defense would be best for armor/weapons because theirs probably less people with 80 def then with 80 attack/strength.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i would love to see the stuff that world of warcraft has, armors for people of maxed stats, yea imagine seeing 120+'s with the best armor and ONLY 120's no more omg that lvl 60 is wearing dragon... just like me. this would bring a bit of originality to runescape well somewhat, because it would definately have more prestige added into the game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the guy who posted a big list of armors and its bonus's has an amazing idea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dragon is meant to be good, but not great and thats why we have barrows, the best but in my opinion barrows could easily be considered a novelty item in some aspects, if they released armors which had a rune type defense with strength and accuracy bonus's would really put barrows in its place as an item to be used strategically .

[flipflop121]

 

world of warcraft has like... 7 differnet types of armors(im not sure the #) for each class, and then theirs like another 7 different classes, adding a little variety and some rarity to things

WoW has a ton of "end game" armor, which is armor that can only be used at the max level and specialize in different things. For example, there could be a set of armor for the priest class which specializes in increases to healing, while another set which specializes in reducing the casting time of healing spells instead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think this would really work in terms of runescape. Think, for example, a set of armor which makes 2h weapons swing faster (thus giving some use to d2h and such), a set of armor which increases your attack by an amount determined by your woodcutting level when you wield an axe, ect. These set effects would work just like the barrows set effects and would easily bring use to weapons which are unused because of rs2's major flaw in weapon design. (Instead of strength of weapons being inversely proportional to their speed, faster weapons are only slightly weaker and thus always much better choices. Weapon strength should be based on the weapon's dps [damage per second], and not just on your overall bonus gained from your armor and weapon.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i like the idea bout different skills giving bonuses to different types of attacks, like 99 wc and a set of lumberjack armour makes u hit higher, would give mains a chance to take back the wildy. also on WoW a weapons dps isnt everything, a lot of is enchants and armour bonuses

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so you could have

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rune armour with wc enchant (requires high mage to enchant)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this armour takes a portion of ur wc lvl and adds it to your weapons damage when useing a type of axe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rune armour with agility enchant

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this armour takes a portion of ur agility lvl and makes ur dodge percent go up a bit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now if you could say, enchant dharoks with a wc enchant this would be some uber ownage. maybe something like so all skills can help each other. would bring some variety into pking, making mains rule the world again lol

[aznmidget448]

I don't like your idea about the armor because it would mean that you could be invulnerable against two things if you have enough prayer. I think that's just unfair... (Although it'd make kqing and dking easier) It's just too much to give to a player. If anything, jsut a little better defense or possibly a strength bonus (like the fighting torso)

[malo2]

they should have put 3rd age reqs to 70-80 def.
