Neglect dmg change Poll

[Pro Noob]

So you might of notice that I went ahead and nerfed the dragonfire shield.
The reason was due to it being overpowered to the point where people with melee did not used alot of food. We as a staff team did not like this so we decided to do the changes.

It have come to my attention it was to big of a nerf from some people. Other people complained that you now use more food. We have listen and taken the opportunity to make this poll to see how people want to proceed.

One option per player!

1. Keep current system, 2.5% + (prayer level + 1) / 8 (99 prayer = 12.5%, 1 prayer = 0.25%)
2. Increase the chance to, 4% + (prayer level + 1) / 7 (99 prayer ~14.28%, 1 prayer ~0.28%)
3. Add defence and prayer trigger, 4% + prayer level / 11 + defencer level / 11 (99 defence 1 prayer ~9.9%, 99 defence 99 prayer = 18%)
4. Add defence trigger only, 4% +(defence level + 1) / 7 (99 defence ~14.28%, 1 prayer ~0.28%)
5. Add defence trigger with prayer neglect dmg, 4% +(defence level + 1) / 7 (99 defence ~14.28%, 1 prayer ~0.28%), neglect dmg: prayerlevel / 8 (99 prayer = 12.375% neglect, 1 prayer = 0.125%)

Simply don't think the nerf was necessary.

Why was it not necessary? Like making only people go for the dragonfire shield was not the correct play. Even if we did not balanced it out like we did, the shield would of got a nerf with either lowered chance to occur or only neglect half the damage. We having it set to 1:4 chance to occur was abit to often, so we decided to do a universal neglection instead.
That is what this poll is about, how often you guys want the universal occurance to be rather than a shield having all that power.

I mean it's BIS, right? Everyone uses the exact same gear - the BIS gear.

I feel like option 5 would be the most balanced option.

Revert it back.

Reverting is not an option. I support the idea of change as certain things were just broken in some way.

Yeah I also maintain the stance that it shouldn't have been changed. We still had to use a decent amount of food even with it as it was. I still had to fish often. Honestly speaking, all you did was make it more annoying to play. Thats just my opinion. Why should things be more tedious? Bosses already attack quickly and with a lot of power. It's a game. It should be fun. Like the increase in resting for gathering skills. Why? Just to make it more tedious? That's not good.

"We as a staff team decided..." That's the problem. Please try to make major decisions WITH the players instead of making them and THEN consulting us. With that being said, I appreciate and respect polls like these. I just wish they'd happen before the major updates instead. A good majority of us do not like the change.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm being a dickhead but I don't really know how to be anything but direct. I don't intend to sound demeaning or anything.
