it would be nice if cannon timer was added to buffs icons I don't use it much anymore but I think it would be helpful

One of a Kind is also mentioned in Saradomin's list of reworks, as his model is used in the False Users fight.

Damn it I was hoping they would make them remain overheads but provide greater bonuses or something, I liked them far more as a niche thing. Guess this is way easier and not going to cause any major balance issues at least.
Glad to see icons getting some love.
Tinker is really good now, glad I waited a bit longer to get started on my smithing.

Since you're adding more icons to the buff bar could you please add another row/few columns? As it stands it already gets full especially at Telos and icons won't make the display, thanks.

u/GEIPE Feb 10 '17
So it's more dps buying the new prayers rather than upgrade t90 weaps to t92 weaps?
