I do think we need curses, so support. If 2007scape had followed how updates actually went after 2007, we would already have Chaotics, Curses, Korasi, Claws, etc...

Personally my fav time in RS was pre-eoc combat, right around the 2011 mark.

I would 100% support this, like you said, Turmoil wasn't THAT much better in PvP which basically made it a PvM-worthy prayer to have, which would be handy when we get the eventual Nex-equivalent to stand above Corp.

I also think Soul Split would need to be reworked, but like several things in OSRS that have different effects in PvP and PvM, this could be one too, maybe it's prayer drainage doubles in dangerous areas or it heals half in dangerous areas, something to limit it in a way that using it is less beneficial and/or more risky.

I agree 100%

2011 was the best year of runescape

as much as I love the curses and their power, I don't think they fit into the spirit of OSRS that well. I kind of agree with what someone said about getting content exclusive to OSRS rather than just things from the later but pre-eoc years of RS3.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the power of them.. but I'm not really sure if I want them in OSRS or not. I feel a lot of people wouldn't.

I'm a bit torn on where I stand, but I think ultimately I would have to be against it.. if anything because I don't want to see this game following the exact same step RS3 had.
Also, I saw someone say there's no prayers above 70 but Jagex is planning on adding new ones. They listed them somewhere.

Anyway, this is coming from someone who mained a maxed pk'er account with Curses (99 pray) in 2011.

Now if Curses do get into the game, I don't want them nerfed. I think the amount of money and work you have to put into questing and getting the skill to 95-99 should be worth it.

However, here's my idea on balancing them to the normal prayer book:
Its simple. Remove the protect item prayer curse. You want to PK with something powerful then you have to risk :)

I realy like the idea of no protect item on curses to balance out the power. I guess I would support this if there was a Magic and range equivalent of turmoil. Also I would make the protect melee/ range / magic prayers the same as the normal prayers ( 40 % reduction) instead of the 60 %.

100% support for this curses

However to get it pass the poll it will need some reworking here and there.

The main concern for people will be Soulsplit and Turmoil.

I suggest to make turmoil maximum only 2% more stronger than piety which makes you maybe hit +-3 higher than someone else with piety.

Soulsplit I would make it heal a bit less as before.

But this would be an interesting addition to the game and make prayer more worth to train above 70 like most people atm.

Another possibility is to just take the prayers people have concerns with away and give us the rest of the prayers.

Note:

I've seen multiple people say in this thread this is 07 scape to me its not 07 scape or old school its just pré EOC. Which is the main reason people play the game. Atleast give curses a chance with a beta or something.
