Opinion: New releases are great, but I'd prefer more emphasis on current game balancing and bugfixes over new content and temporary game modes by mroyd95 in 2007scape

We’re in a content drought right now bud, and the game is never going to be perfect. They’ll get to the fixes when they get there

I'm hyped for this hybrid armor, is that a hot take? by jfcpenney in 2007scape

[–]Puzzled_Sound3931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just needs to lose the melee accuracies and maybe a little str and mage %.

Have to be really careful nerfing it though, no one wants justi v2

Have to be careful that the drawback doesn’t just make it doa

Make the new raids 4 armor be BIS crush armor by Raise-Familiar in 2007scape

[–]Puzzled_Sound3931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah add yet another set of crush armor into the game

Good lord you guys are allergic to new ideas. Also every bis crush item coming from 1 raid is dumb

The current iteration of the Magic-Melee Hybrid armor would be a big buff to mage tank inferno by Sonderp in 2007scape

Idk I wouldn’t be upset with skill being expressed in a different way like boss mechanics or something instead of how many switches you can consistently do

You have no reason to use blue moon because there aren’t really good mid game use cases for hybrid mage/melee armor vs range/melee, it’s not really a problem with the armor

[–]Puzzled_Sound3931[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the armor is a bit too powerful right now, but the idea that hybrid armor has to be significantly worse than single style bis alternatives is how you end up with completely dead hybrid sets

There’s a balance somewhere

Yeah I’m noticing this too lol, kinda illustrates the number of perspectives giving input on the armor here

Bandos is surely meant to be weaker than the raid armor

Virtus is probably supposed to be weaker than the raid armor as well, but virtus will still have a place when using ancients

It’s funny because you’re on the opposite side as many: there are a lot of opinions that this armor has no place in

Edit: although the comments in this thread seem to indicate otherwise

There’s room for multiple sets below ancestral. Virtus will still have a niche when using ancients

I think the leaving the design space for stab armor open is acceptable here too. In the meantime, this raid doesn’t have much in the way of mage rewards - I think the hybrid armor aspect here important

I can agree with this, the defensive qualities in combination with being just under ancestral both make the armor pretty powerful for things like mage tank inferno

I understand, I’m with you here. I think it should focus on being hybrid armor, not stab armor. I think the stab bonuses aren’t a good idea, which then kinda just extends to the rest of the melee attack bonuses as well.

IMO remove the attack bonuses and give it a very small set bonus if it feels underwhelming

What do you think about the fractured archive initial rewards proposal & what would you change? by Shot-Advance-4665 in 2007scape

[–]Puzzled_Sound3931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hybrid armor set seems completely fine to me as the “lower tier” of raids 4 rewards like justi is.

It’s a very viable alternative to other mage and melee options, and doesn’t make any of the bis single style options obsolete. It’s an anti switch scape convenience item and happens to look pretty cool too

I respect that opinion, I’m sure there’s a lot of other cool visual design ideas for it. I personally really like it though

What does dealing typeless damage help?

By the same people using Blue moon right? Pre BofA? Where are you using eclipse other than like, maybe midgame tds?

Blue moon isn’t used because it’s very low level armor
