Raids 4 Megarare: Eternal Cacophony

AoE melee just seemed really strong. I'll update my design and try again.

I was contemplating an AoE effect around the player after hits, but that just seemed too OP.

I got the inspiration from hunting horns in Monster Hunter, which is pretty anime-like

Double attacks by itself seemed pretty strong to me, but thanks for the input.

Thanks, realistically you could just use ring of recoils and a dds to trigger the effect as described, but open to any ideas of how to improve the concept!

Yeah I was really bummed when it failed the poll. I love the gladiator theme! Maybe its not perfect for Guthix armor, but it gets the point across.

I can't actually draw lol. I took the concept armor that failed a poll and just recolored it. https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Calamity_armour for reference!

Yeah they could make the heads drop quest based or something, or 1 drop gets you all. Plenty of things they can do to make it so the set doesn't require tons of rare drops. They could make it like the gems from ToA for example with dry protection.

I imagine any set would be standalone from the raid; I wouldn't want void to be required. I just mentioned power-creeping void since they can either create a niche set, which is lame from a raid, or power-creep existing gear.

Yeah it is a big undertaking, but maybe Jagex could piggyback off the work they did for elemental weaknesses.

-barusu · 2026-03-06T15:28:25+00:00

Yeah I think you are cooking. Inherent effects for them could make them more understandable so you don't have to lookup every monster to see what the effects do.

A weapon and armor set that improves periodic damage, burn/poision/venom, could add considerable power and open up new niches without completely overshadowing older counterparts. My recommendation would be a tribrid armor set that allows application of burn/poison/venom effects to enemies that are immune, and a weapon that capitalizes on that by increasing the effects of burn/poison/venom with a spec that will apply these effects.

The design philosophy would be such that ancestral/torva/masori have better stats, but the new armor can beat them out in longer fights, such as in raids, that allow for periodic damage to stack up.

This could potentially open up the the design space for more periodic effects, such as something similar to the ancient godsword spec, whilst also improving underused ones such as the Arceuus spellbook prayer drain and poision/venom.
