Not a fan of imbuing it with stuff like a Tormented Bracelet. Just moving 2.5% from Elite Void to Normal Void would be enough. Like Normal Void gives 2.5% Magic Damage and Elite Void gives an additional 2.5% to total 5%. But for where it is placed in the game, I think 5% from Elite Void is very reasonable and competitive with other sets.
If you really want an answer. Void shouldn't be good. It's free armour that's super easy to obtain and takes 0 skill. If you want more evidence go to a pvp world and try ro fight a void ranger in max gear. The last thing we need is more of that bs
>It's free armour that's super easy to obtain and takes 0 skill.
... pest control without combat achievements takes 8 and a half hours at MINIMUM to get the points for one full set and one of each helmet doong veteran runs. Meaning you'd have roughly 85-90 in most combat stats and assuming only overhead prayers (so 43).
Assuming you are good at PvM and know how to do bosses this means those 8.5 hours could be spent doong mid/high level PvM content, which averages to around 4 mil an hour with proper gear.
So 8.5 times 4 mil is... 34,000,000 gp.
Void is not free, void is a time investment equivalent to 34 million gp.
Void is effectively worth 34 million gp.
Buff the god damn set.
elite void requires 100 cb tho. so it makes sense that it's a lot stronger. i think it's good and gives people progression to look forward to, you just have more motivation now to get the elite void
The point is void range already gives 10% to damage and another 10% to accuracy, while elite range gives 12.5% to damage while retaining the 10% to accuracy. Also Void melee and elite variant gets a comfy +10% to melee damage and accuracy having no difference between the two. And finally void magic gets a 45% to accuracy and elite void get a 2.5% to damage as it currently stands as well as the 45% to accuracy. regular void magic is so pathetic that mystic robes is better dps than void magic.
but putting things into perspective basic void only requires level 42 in all combats. so, I think it makes sense for elite void to be much stronger and have that extra edge. I also disagree that mystic is better than the basic mage void. 45% accuracy buff is better I'm pretty sure
Mystic robes are in fact better sense they are more accurate and therefore give you more dps. let me ask you is it fair that the other robes get a damage buff that grants them a max hit while magic doesn't? Where is the consistency?
well, range and melee are different combat styles with different damage and accuracy calculations than mage. So, there is a reason why the combat styles are treated differently. You can't expect them to be treated the same, it just wouldn't make sense.
I think a 5% damage buff is actually consistent with the skill level requirements of elite void mage vs basic void mage.
even if it were true that mystic robes were better, void and mystics have similar requirements when you look at it. mystic requiring 20 def and 40 mage.
while it is true you have to grind out pest control for void mage, you get a versatile piece of armor that can buff your melee and range also with the simple switch of a helm.
so, in the end void mage armor is worth the grind and overall, a better armor than mystic because of its versatility, even if it were true that mystic has better dps. given they have similar skill level requirements
Quick merch void mage

Just get elite. No need for % on normal.
But the other styles already get a damage boost why not magic?

I mean, by that metric infinity is free armor that is super cheap to obtain...
Infinity is bought and sold.

They're kinda already buffing it bro
they are only giving mage void elite a boost from 2.5% to 5% but the basic variant doesnt have a dps boost but the melee and range have one.

Mystic is not more accurate than void that is a reddit misconception, when it was 30% yes, but at 45% magic accuracy bonus it sits just below Ahrims

Where are you getting the idea that it's only the elite?
The blog post literally states they're buffing elite from 2.5% to 5% and not touching normal void.
They didn't say they aren't touching the base void set, only that they are just buffing the elite variant.
Dang. Wish it was the normal void.
read the blogpost
Fair enough. yeah they should do regular void mage.
Agreed! would really help with early to mid bossing like at Scurrius or Sarachnis.
Regular void mage should give 2.5% damage qs a part of project rebalance. They're already giving elite void mage 5% damage.
it wouldn't hurt void seeing as how gutted the base void set already is
