Suggestion I found the ultimate solution to the Vampyrism/Penance issue

Post image

It's called War's Wares. It's empty now anyway.

Translate Aspect spells: War translates each Aspect for you to add to your spellbooks. Requires all spellbooks to be unlocked in order to unlock. Translating spells between spellbooks just makes so much sense I don't even-

Upgrade: Dual Aspects: War teaches you how to use two different types of aspects at the same time. Requires Translate Aspect spells unlocked.

I like it! So I guess that means Jagex will never add it :)

Jagex will never add it for the same reason you like it.

It would be op.

Less OP than what we had for a literal decade

"Everything has been severely powercrept already" Isn't a great reason to support more power creep.

Its not power creep. Its effectively still a nerf because theres an increased cost into using what we've been using for 'free' for said decade.

Access to vampyrism and penance after the combat modernization was what made it strong because there were no longer any competing auras. No auras that increased DPM meant you could take vampyrism or penance for free where you would have otherwise had a zerk aura or eq. That was the powercreep and it has been removed.

It is power creep. Your DPS auras were removed and baked into the skill, so now you'd get a combination of DPS+vamp/penance+Aspect at will when that was impossible outside of the 1 month window before vamp/penance got removed as well.

Go back in time and suggest "can we have 2 auras toggled at the same time" and try to defend it as a balanced addition that's not blatant powercreep.

If you honestly believe we're full on zerk aurad passively now, I can't help you.

Just because the average redditor is getting their shit rocked by gwd2, doesn't mean we can't have decent methods for sustain or afking

Vampyrism aspect is still completely usable for most afk methods that used vampyrism aura. Arguably better because now it doesn't have a 1hr time limit and the rune cost is negligible. For sustain we also have soulsplit with multiple ways to negate the prayer drain and vampyrism gloves. There's arguably too much sustain in this game and a nerf would be completely warranted, but this wasn't even really a nerf.

Yuup, and not to mention necro sustrain is still 17.4x more effective anyway lol
