Changes to unholy prayers make them useless

[lamkaz]

The unholy prayers were big part of AoD content - while they cannot be used against AoD content with Barrier, they were great to speed up kph on vanilla/ToTH content.

Now we cant do even that. The latest update completely crippled them.
While I agree they needed nerf, devs went too far again, just like with township.

All the unholy items are not even comparable to the BIS - no bonuses, no DR, all they have is Unholy Prayer bonus (only exception are the uber-rare gloves from hardest AoD dungeon - and even these have -5 DR from BIS). With the prayer nerfs, the items are now junk.
Even the items that provide 5turn prayers were nerfed so that they cant be usefull.
NPCs that can be killed normally under 5 turns are much easier killed by normal prayers with lowered attack interval.

After the nerf, it makes literally no sense to use unholy prayers, compared to the normal prayers. Lets hope developers can balance them, so they are usefull in SOME cases again.

It is sad that you see this as "good" thing. Large part of the AoD content gets effectively nullified. If people haven't used unholy prayers much before, they wont use them now at all.

I still think AoD is worth buying for the rest of the content, but this change removed a lot of value from the expansion.
