The deflection curses are another reason for players to switch from the normal prayer set to the curses, as they have the same drain rate as the protection prayers from the regular book and can deal additional damage back. Note that as with all Deflect prayers, the Ferocious Ring does not add damage you reflect back onto the enemy. Deflect prayers will grant you half protection against most attacks against players. The damage reflected is 10% of the damage the attack would have done if not blocked. Therefore, since you are protected from 50% of damage from most monsters.
