I read the ruinous powers blog and I gotta say... I feel like most of the ideas sound... uh, not good.
Rejuvenation, Trinitas, Deci/Anni/Vapo, Wrath* are the only ones I'd support as is.
*(I think we should rework retribution to be between current status and wrath make Wrath even better or different in general, but for now just Wrath is fine here)
I'm indifferent on Overprotection and Rebuke, but I think Overprotection sounds too punishing as slated. I think it should deal 10% to 20%, not 25%.
Ruinous Smite I like but I'd want you to take half of the prayer damage you deal to opp instead of full.
Dampen I think should return the damage you take too. (i.e. get hit 50 melee, reduce it to 5 and opponent takes 5)
Gambit sounds absurd with dharok and would not want it in the game as is. Maybe if it was weaker...
Metabolize sounds fun but OP. Not sure how I feel about it really.
The absorbs, literally everything starting with "ancient", conservation, ruinous grace, and vindication all sound horrendous and I'd instantly vote no.
At the end of the day, the only reason I'd ever switch to ruinous powers as suggested is Vaporize. That's it. I have no interest in bringing prayer potions to skilling. Honestly Augury should buff magic damage by at *least* 2% and then I'd have actually no reason to use ruinous powers. So... am I alone in feeling like this or at least similarly? Or are other people also notably unsatisfied with the suggestions put forth for us?
