Originally, the Justicar armor was bulkier and part of a trio of armor sets, West tells me, but since the Theatre of Blood moved from obscure concept to real content,runescape 2007 gold the armor changed with it.

Participants said there was sufficient DPS gear but not enough tank gear, so it was narrowed down to just 1 armor set. And if they were only going to use one group, Jagex guessed they might also make a new one based on the armor worn with the raid's big bad.

But then something amazing happened. Even as memes blotted out the sun, gradually but certainly serious suggestions began to glow through.
