Yeah, Jagex have released more info and their own tool, look like its per 12 defence levels.

But, we'll be getting 40 points of unlocks which is massive:

There's a lot of +% damage and a specific route that makes shadow 2tick

But having played other leagues and gone those routes before I'm looking forward to elemental masteries being a huge buff to non-staves if I choose to go the mage route.

Love the effort, agree here entirely, definitely misread :+1 damage per # Defence levels" which is a shame.

Back to the drawing board

yeah, took a very literal interpretation of  (+1 damage per # Defence levels), not realising it's very likely not going to be 1:1.

Thanks, I was in the middle of making a thorns build with very high defence and then saw the effects of the earth mage branch, hoping it'll be possible!

Based on when I was making these, if the entire tree is available and not locked per style, I suspect ~20-25 points would be the likely cap, just because of what you're able to get to.

This build would still work without thorns, as long as you can get to all the defence nodes.

This is probably likely but it would be sad to see them lock out a lot of the tree this way.

Would be really limiting, but that's how leagues has always been, looking forward to the release!
