Vows is a mechanic topic that Gnomonkey covers in 1 video on 2023-04-19. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.
Stats and numbers
- Once Fumus' Vow is changed you will no longer be able to pre-pot getting poisoned and it will only work if the target directly applied poison to you, so it likely will not work in places with area poison like Zarp or Vorkath.1
Tips
- Gnomonkey's bleed rework idea for Krewer's Vow, developed with Saxer Pillar and inspired by Zebak's bleed chomp: each hitsplat on a target with the prayer active adds a bleed stack, perhaps needing multiple splats per stack, which encourages multi-splat weapons like Scythe and Claws.2
- In Gnomonkey's bleed idea, once a stack is built, the target hemorrhages if it moves, dealing damage over time; each extra stack increases the bleed's duration and damage per splat like poison, and no further stacks can be added until the bleed ends, possibly with a cooldown.3
Gnomonkey's opinion
- Gnomonkey says the Vows all need a lot of work and should mostly offer neat utility effects applied on a target in unique cases rather than pure damage.4
- Gnomonkey argues Vows drain so much prayer that making one pure damage, like Glacies' Vow currently is, means you have to one-tick flick it and use it everywhere.4
- Gnomonkey wants Vows to add an effect on a target rather than being something you camp.1
- Gnomonkey says after the Fumus' Vow change it would be useful only against things like Lizardman shamans and Spitting Scarabs, and suggests making the poison heal you, wear off quickly, and drain prayer on each proc.5
- Gnomonkey says Umbra's Vow is perfect as is, loves it, and likes that its effect takes place before defence-draining special attacks.5
- Gnomonkey calls Krewer's Vow utterly useless: a huge prayer drain for healing one HP per 100 damage dealt, and sustaining prayers that you camp to slowly gain HP are boring and cannot be balanced.2
- Gnomonkey says the bleed idea would be effective only on bosses you can keep stationary and then move tactically (Bloat, Tekton, Thermonuclear smoke devil, Cerberus, group God Wars bosses), and ineffective on bosses you constantly run around like solo God Wars.6
Events
- Fumus' Vow was insanely powerful in the beta and came with a bug that allowed players to one-shot every boss instantly.1
