Are pures history?

Damage soaking is an upcoming update to the Defence skill as documented in the December 2010 Behind the Scenes update. Damage soaking already exists in the chaotic, eagle-eye and farseer kiteshields, but Jagex plan to add it to the majority of head, body, leg and shield slot equipment.

This update aims to rectify an imbalance between the potential damage per minute (DPM) and damage capacity (DC) of higher-level players. The rate of damage dealt at high levels is far greater than the rate of damage that can be withstood with current armours and prayers, especially when in a multiplayer environment. Currently, NPC's and monsters can deal with this by having life points totaling way beyond 990. This update will help reduce all damage over 200 life points with higher level equipment providing higher damage soaking levels.

“  We have recognised an imbalance between the potential damage per minute (DPM) and damage capacity (DC) of higher-level players. The rate of damage that you can deal at high levels is far greater than the rate of damage you can withstand, especially when in a multiplayer environment. NPCs and boss monsters can deal with this issue because their life points can reach far beyond 990, but players' life points cannot. Dealing with this imbalance will be done in several ways, with the first of those ways being introduced this month in the form of damage soaking.

In what will be a huge addition to the Defence skill and defensive equipment, we're aiming to add damage soaking stats (currently only applied to the chaotic, eagle-eye and farseer kiteshields) to the majority of head, body, leg and shield slot equipment. Damage soaking will help reduce all incoming damage values over 200 life points, with higher grades of equipment offering a greater percentage of 'soak', and with members' equipment offering the greatest percentage of all.
