If the level requirement is a big problem, just increase the level requirements on the armour set then? Slap a 80 ranged and 75 defence requirement on it, and it'll be fine? I'm not asking for the bow to get a buff, the bow without armour would still be pretty bad, and certainly not too strong for a T70 weapon. I read the suggestion about a potential attachment to the crystal bow from gauntlet. I'd take it if the other alternative is the insignificant 5% buff, but I thought the whole point was to make the armour more viable, given how much it costs to acquire AND to maintain.
I was actually so happy for a second when I saw Crystal Armour mentioned in the newspost with a...
It is still an option FWIW, just one that we're not likely to make until we've had enough feedback to suggest it's supported enough.
Increasing the requirements on the armour is an option, but where it sits stat wise (bonuses aside) wouldn't really justify it being at T80. Maybe the bonus would imply a higher power level that justifies it enough.
Regardless of what happens it's very clear Crystal Armour in general would benefit from a buff, but anything drastic we would likely poll in the future rather than tackle as an integrity change.
