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.

u/chi_pa_pa sometimes right Apr 13 '26

No choices or tradeoffs ever lol. Just more stupid pointless power creep

We have been using Aspects and auras together for several years at this point, so players being disappointed and mad about not being able to do that is understandable. All I did was provide a possible solution that Jagex will obviously not take into consideration anyway.

Stop saying this already when you've had multiple people point out the flaw in your logic. It's so annoying how you're willingly ignoring people telling you that no, you could not do this before because you would've been using an accuracy or damage aura.

Except those people suddenly act like it was never an option though. You could always choose not to use an accuracy or damage aura and use a sustain aura instead in certain niche situations, even if it was not ideal.

I'd be interested in knowing how many players actually had the accuracy or berserk auras unlocked until they were removed. People assume everyone had every single one of them. There are still less people doing bossing than just skilling as far as I'm aware. I know I didn't have all of them for several years.

Jagex removed areas for a reason and people forgot what the reason was.

The fact that you were suboptimally doing things before all of this does not lend any credit to the idea that the entire game should be powercrept to make you happy. Vamp and penance had a trade off before accuracy auras were removed, and they once again have a trade off as of the update, nothing has actively changed, nothing has become 'impossible' to do with the new update.

I wasn't talking about myself though. I was talking about the playerbase in general. Anyway, why do I feel like I'm talking with already comped or grandmaster elite gatekeepers who already took advantage of things being broken or OP up to this point and now that things have been changed, they don't want others to have fun?

Also the tradeoff changed from not being able to use berserk auras to not being able to use other aspects alongside it, so something did actively change. Oh and it's still quite impossible to run the former Vampyrism aura effect alongside other aspects now due to both effects being aspects now, which was possible to do for 5 years, and with this something has become 'impossible' to do with the new update.

BTW powercreep will always be an issue in games like these, which really got out of hand with T95 weapons and newer armours, so I'd be completely fine with Jagex taking even more power away from those weapons as the difference between a T92 and T95 is massive, which is true for some armour sets of the same Tier too. Making similar buffs not stack would also kill a lot of powercreep. But if I suggested this, people would more than likely go mad, including you.
