Regular Prayers VS Curse Prayers

Featured Replies

At 71 prayer, is it better for me to keep my prayer book set to curses rather then regular prayers?

Does the reflection of damage justify the loss of Piety?

Unless you're 92+ prayer, normal prayers are better.

To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

Id say 95+ or if you haven't unlocked piety.

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

It depends on what you're doing. Turmoil doesn't help mage or ranged. ;)

Below 92 prayer, the curses book is pretty situational. It's still nice sometimes to leech def off a boss and such, but even that requires in the 80s. Certainly don't go losing boost prayers just for deflects.

If you aren't using piety, say for a task or something because you're a cheapskate, then arent the deflect prayers strictly better?

Well you should stil use the 10% strength pray..

 

The only task -and I don't even piety often- where I would consider using curses at that level (I myself am 72 prayer so I know what it is like) is mithril dragons..

First they came to fishing

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing

 

Then they came to the yews

and I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews

 

Then they came for the ores

and I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores

 

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

I believe they're the same drain rate, and the slight bit of damage you bounce back is quite negligible.

Reflection of damage does not justify the loss of piety, provided you do use piety while on your regular prayer book. Stick to regular until your prayer level is that of which that can use turmoil (provided you currently use piety), or within niche situations which the curse book could be of use, such as particular bosses.
