Turmoil

[3PointMan]

What is so great about turmoil? It just seems like a -slightly- better version of piety...

[Ruggig]

Increases Attack/Defence by 15%, in addition to 15% of your opponent's Attack/Defence.

Also increases Strength by 23%, in addition to 10% of your opponent's Strength.

 

Do i have say more?

[Obtaurian]

There's a pretty significant difference between Piety and Turmoil, but the biggest upside to Turmoil is that you have access to the other curses, too, IMO.

[Sinkhan]

In boosting yourself it's a tiny bit better; in some cases it's actually worse.

 

The big thing is that it drains your opponents offensive capabilities, most noticeably lowering their max hit and increasing your chances to hit.

another +10% strength and attack is more than just slightly better

at the very least, it drains slower than piety

 

piety drains 1 point per 1.8 seconds

turmoil drains 1 point per 2 seconds

[Zephy]

It comes with soul split, too. Great healing source in many settings.

[Sirscrap]

Turmoil is 1 per 2 seconds Piety is 2 per 3 seconds ^^^

[Aiel]

Turmoil is 1 per 2 seconds Piety is 2 per 3 seconds ^^^

it depends on prayer bonus, but yes turmoil is slower.

sirs posted the base drain rates, ie when prayer bonus = 0

 

RS wiki used to say that piety drained 1 per 1.8 seconds as to 1 per 1.5 it says now.

maybe a troll just changed it, I recall timing 1 per 1.8 myself when i got turmoil. *shrug*

[SirIzenhime]

most monsters I use it on, I get a 29% atk and def boost, and a 32% strength boost.

 

You figure the rest out.

[bedman]

Like others have said, it IS significant boost over piety. Pair this with the slower drain rate and the access to soul split, which is easily flashable, and you are a hard hitting beast with infinite health.

SW cape is also an excellent addition to make turmoil even more worthwhile. Giving up 4 str bonus for 12 prayer is a very good deal IMO.

[L0rdAki]

Fire cape has 1 str last time I checked... Unless it was buffed.

 

Turmoil is about as good as extremes. Supers are to extremes as piety is to turmoil. Like high herb, high prayer has side benefits, like soul split and other things.

 

If you're thinking about it, get it.

You are giving up 4 strength, +1 all attack stats and +3 all defense stats for 10 prayer. Remember the firecape has 2 prayer as well.

lol...

[L0rdAki]

I'm sorry, is there a problem?

 

I just checked the wiki, and It indeed says +4 str and +2 prayer. I distinctly remember +1 prayer and str sometime along the line.

 

Forgive me for not being as knowledgeable as you.
