RS3 Curses is an other topic that Gnomonkey covers in 1 video on 2023-01-07. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says the RS3 prayer book is pretty much exactly what he does not want in Old School: everything is a direct upgrade, especially Turmoil, so there is no interesting choice.1
  • Gnomonkey says Soul Split broke the game wide open in RS3 and made every PvM encounter use Soul Split every attack for free HP; he likes the idea of a useful non-protection overhead but says it provides ridiculous sustain.2

Trivia

  • RuneScape 3's ancient prayer book is called Curses and is a direct upgrade over the standard prayer book except in rare cases.3
  • In RS3 Curses, protection prayers are replaced by deflection prayers that protect the same amount but also deflect 6.7% of damage on average.3
  • RS3's Curses book includes Wrath, described as a better Retribution, and still has Protect Item.3
  • In Curses the passive boosting prayers are replaced by leech curses, which give the same boost but also drain the stats of the target and give them to you over time.3
  • Turmoil is the capstone passive boost curse in RS3: it starts a bit stronger than Piety when activated and, as it leeches the target's stats, becomes significantly more powerful than Piety.4
  • Soul Split is an additional RS3 overhead that gives back a percentage of damage dealt as HP; it was initially 25% and later nerfed to 10%, and it can still be flicked between deflection prayers by good RS3 PvMers.4
