Devotion and Ancient Curses?

splodge007 · Jan 10, 2014

So the new 'devotion' ability gives you a 100% boost for 'protection prayers' for 20 secs.

Does this also apply to ancient curses or not? I can't find info on this anywhere.

Why would it not? Deflect from melee, mage and range are protection prayers.

They're not technically;

They are the 'counterparts' of the 4 protection prayers and are termed 'deflect curses'.

I just want this ability to only affect normal prayers, so there would be an incentive to actually use then from time to time, rather than curses.

From what I've read from the devotion Wiki page, I'd assume that it's Protection Prayers only but, seeing as how I don't use my renown for anything but lamps, I can't test it out.

It does work for deflect curses as well. It even says so on the wiki when using Vorago as an example.

"Devotion will block all the damage from Vorago's magic or melee attacks (whichever you are currently protecting/deflecting against)."
