Jagex has finally released the Raids 4 rewards blog! The fractured archive will include the ascension crossbows, rondache shield, a hybrid armour set and the tzhaar-ket-breaker mega rare. I genuinely think these are very solid rewards, the crossbows are incredibly cool and powerful, rondache is a neat idea for an offensive shield, and the breaker will absolutely shake the meta at many bosses such as doom and nex. The only items I don't like whatsoever from this blog is the hybrid set as it waters down what you will bring to content a bit too much. Very happy with how this blog turned out and excited to mess around with these in a potential beta at some point.

Told my barber that I'm struggling with inferno and he made me look like you
Finally I needed an opinion on these! Thanks! Also loved you in DMM allstarts
The gnome-signal was answered
Can’t wait for the new mage tank inferno build!!
Time to finally get my opinion about the raids rewards
The fact they gave the hybrid armor stab bonuses is insane. Gnomonkey said “Oathplate too strong, Torva is just Fang armor now” and Jagex said “Wait, Torva still has use cases? We can’t have that, now.”
Imo the mega rare will be easier to balance than ppl think since they can just slap +/-20 defence on some random unused stat and it will change the dps significantly so it should be fairly easy for them to change a little on some bosses to make it fit where they want
My opinion woke up
The fact that the prayer bonus is that high along with everything is wild lol. Overcooked that set.
holy cow the eye bags, glad youre resting man <3
My guy that inferno though! Was already a fan but seeing you in this allstars has been a blast! Gl in chicago
Saw the blog and said cant wait for the gnomonkey vid on this🤣🤣
I feel like that armor set it turbo broken which is why it was kinda crazy people on reddit were thinking its bad lmao, it would replace melee and mage set up and have bowfa/crystal for swaps
Remember the Ascension Crossbow will fire out of the Ammo Slot, and will benefit from the Quiver's unique passive.
I really like the Rondache, I think shields are sort of an under utilized equipment in MMO's especially. It tries to solve the off-hand should increase damage problem with the charges. It is a neat item imo. Also really love the idea of the breaker too, to have the distance reduce switching styles like range.
The first thing that came to mind with the hybrid set - Tumeken GWD - you effectively dont even take damage from the minions whilst still maintaining near-BIS damage (-9% from ancestral)
Hear me out... tribrid armour for the god of balance (moderately lower stats than blog), fortifiable with void (also guthixian) to gain its prayer bonus and increase offensive bonuses a bit more
In terms of potential issue with new megarare in ToB is simply could be to adjust crush defence of ToB bosses.
Finally my opinion has been formed
