Armour & Set Bonuses

Styles: Melee, Ranged, Magic
Best melee: Dragon set (power 9)
Best ranged: Black dragonhide (power 8)

Three styles, and the set bonuses are large enough to pick gear around rather than wearing whatever has the biggest defence number.

Pieces	Melee	Ranged	Magic
1/3	-33% block stamina cost	+40 stealth speed	-50% stamina regen delay
2/3	+50% crit chance after blocking	-33% ranged attack stamina cost	+10% magic attack speed
3/3	+25% damage to staggered targets	+25% weak point damage	+15% magical crit chance

Each style defends best against its own attack style. There is no combat triangle, so melee armour is not a counter to anything, it is simply the best thing to wear when melee is what is hitting you.

The ladder by power level:

Power	Melee	Ranged	Magic
2	Reinforced	Leather	Apprentice
3	Bronze	Hard leather	Wizard
4	Iron, Paladin	Studded leather, Wild archer	Dark mage, Dragonkin mage
5	Steel, Fallen hoplite, White	Shadowscale, Ranger, Green dragonhide	Splitbark, Necromancer's
6	Mithril, Black Knight	Blue dragonhide, Shadow
7	Adamant, Obsidian	Red dragon, Kalphite carapace
8	Rune	Black dragonhide
9	Dragon

Note what the table shows: magic armour stops at power 5. A caster's top-end defensive option is well below what a melee or ranged player gets, which is a real constraint on a pure-Magic run rather than a gap in our data.

Melee's 2/3 bonus, +50% crit chance after blocking, is the one that rewards playing the game the way it wants to be played. Combined with Tempest Shield at 11 Attack, blocking stops being defensive and starts being how you set up damage.
