As of November 28, 2012, void armour has been nerfed.
Jagex did not even bother mentioning this on the patch notes or on the update page.
Void armour is now basically the same armour as proselyte armour, which requires skills in the 30s. Void was very useful before this.. but now worthless pretty much..
The stats/bonuses were reduced about 25-50% of their original before todays update.
Regular void and elite void have been affected by this update.
Stats as of now

Armour: 600
Life points: 360

LOL now I wonder who's going to go to Pest Control………………………..

Wow I legitted it. Furious.
Just to clarify, regular void and elite void have been affected by this update.
Its just so ridiculous that this would happen after getting those quest requirements and doing those quests for elite.

i think the new stats reflect the useless defense stats that the armor had b4 EoC
they remove the offensive bonuses?

I personally think that pest control will still be played because some people would want the void as an outfit or because they can exchange the points for xp in some skill.

I think void knight armor is very hard to balance in the new combat system, since the the prayer no longer block all the damage, so the defence states of all armors are much important compare to the pre-EOC. The original void knight armor is not famous for their defence capability, but their ability to increase damage.
This make them a very awkward choice for most of situation. In PvM, you will need to take more trip to bank since you will be hit more often. In PvP, since you can't no longer use dragon claw special attack, you will be forced to take a longer fight, and this is very deadly to the the poor defence of void knight armor.
But if they buff their state, it will become a very powerful armor for pures that got defence level only 40. Maybe they need to make the armor able to increase the defence state according to the player's defence level.
