Raids 4 Armor: Protectorate

Use: Protectorate Armor would be a near-BiS tribrid armor that utilizes upgrade-scape. Guthix is the god of balance and I think a tribrid gear would be a fun way to interpret that.

On drop, the base armor itself would be a good offensive armour on par with bandos strength with crush accuracy bonus, armadyl accuracy, and 1% magic dmg bonus gear with no negative accuracies and no defense stats.

Then, similar to avernic treads and torva, you would break down max gear to reinforce the armour. Breaking down 1 piece of justiciar would increase the defense bonuses and give it a slight damage reduction bonus. Breaking down 1 piece of masori would give it a slight range strength bonus. Imbuing each piece with a separate elemental tome (I.e. fire to helm, earth to legs, water to chest) would give it an elemental damage buff and allow the pieces to function as a tome for purposes of pages and breaking down a piece of ancestral would raise the magic damage % to 2.

This gear would be amazing for freeing up inventory slots in raids without taking a huge decrease in damage, but would still allow the other sets to shine for max dps. The only exception is this set would be BiS for the standard spell table elemental spells once fully upgraded with magic. And would take “mage tank” to a new level
