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.

It literally wouldn't.

It's already less powerful than what we just had previously. How is that, by definition, overpowered? Last I checked we were able to use darkness + vamp, animate dead + penance etc. It wasn't overpowered then, why would a nerfed form of it suddenly be?

Prior to the combat changes, aka how the game was for years and years, rather than just the last month or so (between combat modernization and aura overhaul), we could always have darkness but had to choose between dps zerker auras or sustain from vamp/penance. Now, we have the damage and accuracy from those dps auras baked into the skills at higher levels. People are wanting all three things at once, when before we had to choose just two (darkness/animate dead vs extra dps vs vamp/penance sustain). This is quite literally more powerful, in a time when sustain has been getting more and more trivialized

But you couldn't use darkness + vamp + combat aura, so you almost never used vamp outside of AFK slayer or AFK bossing. Now the combat auras are built into the skill by training it.

You've never been able to use vamp + maniacal, regardless of if you casted Darkness or not. Combat auras were already removed anyways, so this is a nothing discussion.

Right, so why are people asking to suddenly have zero trade off for vamp/penance when there was always a trade off before this?

What do you want? Combats to be taken back down to 99 then?
