I thought of this a few weeks ago and wanted to keep it secret so not everyone would do it and get it nerfed immediately. But screw it.

 

Greater poison purge reverses the effect of poison, so instead of taking 68 damage, you'll heal 68 health instead. That's pretty cool but it doesn't sound overpowered does it?

 

K'ril hit you for 168 poison damage. That's 168-166-164-162...26-24-22-20... Healing every 18 seconds. That's over 7000 hitpoints healed in 25 minutes. (More importantly, over 5000 in 15 minutes)

 

So for starters, med-high levels could easily solo zammy forever, with the poison being built back to max almost constantly, you'd be at a rate of 9+ hitpoints healed a second. But zammy sucks, right?

 

 

Getting zammy killcount takes 2-3 minutes at most. You could go there, get poisoned, and then go do something where the healing is more useful, such as nex, which is conveniently less than a minutes walk away with a bank right there.

 

 

 

So yeah. Pretty brokenly overpowered. Will be used and abused by pretty much everyone. I expect a nerf before it's even available to purchase. You're welcome, people that were going to waste points on something else and be outraged in a months time when this went public.

Interesting.

Interesting.

I wonder how difficult it would be to actually use all of this healing (prevent reaching max health).

 

You could also take this aura and vampirism to Nex (nex poisons you also, but for the normal amount) and use both to lengthen trips.

Huh. I didn't even consider TWO auras until just now because i've been so focused on getting the best i can afford at the moment. Yeah, i suppose if this doesn't get nerfed by then, you could start a trip with this and then switch to vampirism or the prayer one when it's out (I think it would be worth using great poison purge over vampirism even for nex's poisons alone because for one, it means you don't need to bring anti poisons, and secondly, it would be potentially be more healing than vampirism on nex anyway, as your DPS isn't very high there due to inaccuracy and using ranged.)

 

And if the healing doesn't do the full amount as you're already full hitpoints, it doesn't really matter you're not getting it, you're already full... I can't see how that could possibly be a downside :P

--> First people get Greater poison purge

 

--> They abuse this at nex/corp everyones like "omgwtf u hax?????" "repot for haxx0rz" "JAMFLAX SAXTON FALE"

 

--> First patch notes fix it

It only lasts for 20 minutes.

And if i read correctly it only applies to poison inflicted after it is activated.

So realistically you're gonna get more like 15 minutes once you're poisoned

Don't you see? That's PERFECT. It only lasts 20 minutes (The time the poison is great healing in one trip to K'ril), but it recharges every hour. So you can use it for an epic boss trip, once it runs out, start using more supplies and eventually end the boss trip. By the time you've regeared and got everything ready, you won't have to wait long before you can start all over again (For example, you can use that time to get the zamorak killcount again to save time later)

 

Alternatively. Fight k'ril for 20 minutes, deactivate it and logout after a kill when it's about to run out, go do something else IRL or on another account, log back in an hour later and continue your awesome trip.

Or not waste time and do a normal trip.

Or not waste time and do a normal trip.

Indeed. It's just too much hassle to base the entire trip on it. It's 20 minutes of very nice healing, yes, but by no means overpowered unless you jump through hoops to make it so... When it's much more practical to just kill it normally and activate the aura every 20 minutes to save yourself a few brews.

 

You're probably just better off using equilibrium or something.

As far as i can tell, equilibrium wouldn't effect anything at all in the longrun for bossing. The only positive side to it is that it would reduce overkill, which is much less important on bosses, who have huge lifepoints a few 100 potential overkill will be almost nothing. It would prevent fast kills though, and lessen long kills (Although most of these are due to missing, not hitting low numbers.)

 

Whatever though, i personally think an average of over 5hp/second healed for 15-19 minutes anywhere in runescape, and over 9hp/second at zamorak, is amazing.

 

Sure logging out every 20 minutes isn't the most efficient thing to do with real time if you plan on playing runescape 24/7, but if you have stuff to do such as homework anyway, it's the perfect opportunity to get that done and take a break from runescape. That was just a suggestion, theres nothing stopping you simply using it to extend the trip by saving food for the first 20 minutes, and doing the rest without it. (Possibly for multiple hours and activations)

Well that depends on how the damage cap from Equilibrium interacts with Nex's natural damage cap.

It seems very pointless to use for anything other than Zammy boss, considering the time limit.

 

The thing someone said about using it at Nex - it's simply not worth the time & effort.

Well that depends on how the damage cap from Equilibrium interacts with Nex's natural damage cap.

This is a really good point, if you can expect to hit over 500 with you regular weapon, equilibrium sounds great. Greater sharpshooter as well.

Nothing worth fighting poisons you enough for this to be OP.

DKS?

Not enough poison. 20 min duration makes this marginal for dks.

 

Now that I think about it though, it saves 1 slot in a 4 ovl trip. So I guess it has that use. Idk what you'd use on extra slot on though, that would benefit you significantly. Soul runes for blood barrage? Not that great tbh.
