I received the Offensive Power prayer as a result of Empyreal Bond. The prayer was meant to last for 11 minutes.
- The Elder Powers are pleased with your embrace of your divine nature and grant you a blessing.You feel a burst of offensive power flow through you. You will gain a +1 damage bonus to all attacks while the Offensive Power is with you. (2022-10-20 12:05:04).
The prayer was gone during this:
- (3 times) You attack Marcia with your Blade of Light and hit for 14 points of holy damage. You gain 14 XP. (2022-10-20 12:07:12).
As you can see, this is clearly not 11 minutes.

Offensive Power Prayer Timing
old-school member been here since like September 2014, I finally got my original start date.
Re: Offensive Power Prayer Timing
When Offensive Prayer results are used actively, each use decreases the time duration by one minute. The idea behind this is, you can get the Prayers a bit ahead of time allowing you to travel or do other things, but once you start using the effect it degrades somewhat quickly.
There's a mention of this on the wiki, but it is toward the bottom of the explanatory text and easy to gloss over. The blurb:

Offensive prayer results have durations in minutes, but attacks made while under their influence will decay duration by one minute - this means that these statuses can be prepared before battle but have a limited number of actual uses.
Re: Offensive Power Prayer Timing
This. If offensive prayer results were purely time based, it'd be easy to always have them all for the full duration of every raid, and that'd be too powerful. If they were tick based (as in most of prior breaths), the ticks would run down on the way to a raid and the bonuses would be useless. Thus the compromise described above.Liche wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 3:49 pm When Offensive Prayer results are used actively, each use decreases the time duration by one minute.
