Slayer on Pures

[Chris]

In the future I plan to get up my slayer to a high level, for charms and for total levels. Also high slayer on pures is awesome :P

HOWEVER, I am 60 atk and will never go above this.

Recently after looking at a few pures with 60 atk and high slayer, I noticed they all have high range xp. I hate range and was wondering what people thought in comparison speed wise between ranging tasks and using melee.

If i was ranging I would be using robin, range boots, range ammy, chaotic cross bow, broad bolts and extreme range pots

If i was meleeing i would be using d scim with ovls and max strength gear

I hate range so was just wondering if anyone had any opinions on what is good and what isn't when it comes to 60 atk pures and slayer.

Thanks :)

secondly, cost isn't an issue, I will quite happily use protection prayers + 15%. I currently melee all tasks and use protection prayers on all tasks.

Now with the question of safespotting or not taken out of the equation, which is faster?

[Shut Up Kid]

range will always prevail in pure slayer

[Josh|0MEGA]

i suggest you pm sir outofrange i know he hallyd some

[nate.]

don't do it

[cody]

I thought you needed 80 attack Chaotic cross bow? I recommend strength :P Most of them have high range EXP due to the fact that they are mostly safe spotting their task o.o I guess. I'll be using strength and range mix though, when I get around to slaying again.

u need to range for most tasks anyway

[Blitz]

[Fliby]

Just range them mate, it's much better ^^.

If u get dragons u'll be screwed if u want to melee...

[Craig]

Ask Dutch or outofrange. range and hally is main weapon for slayer on pures.

[Bullet]

if your using prot prayers then yes you could easily melee them, you can always cancel tasks anyway.

[Swag]

I prefer melee.

[Mester]

If cost isn't an issue, use a cannon on every possible task. Safespot when possible - halberd if you can, otherwise use mage with chaotic staff and arcane stream or ranged, i think magic with staff will be slightly faster, depending on the monster obviously.

If you can't safespot use dscim/leaf bladed sword with best gear possible + cannon. Abby demons should be ice barrage, with blood barrage/unicorn/lava titan for healing, and waterfiends should be ranged.

Yea range is definetely a big part of slayer :p especially with low defence.. just pray any melee task tbh if you got a decent slay master unlocked you will profit anyway.. gl man <3

[Ep]

get def

[Magick]

Erm firstly most people that are high slay..(i think that are in this clan) pretty much all got 10/20 def for slayer helmet.

People have high ranged xp because usually they cannon every task and use melee aswell. They also pray melee and use super/ext pots on non multicombat tasks.

Only ranging a task is abit of a waste unless your using decent bolts,bonus and lots of pots. Usually 60 attack people just get the god mitre(head prayer thingy), monk robes,dscim and their zammy book.

[Zany]

with extremes & bonus prayers, d scim+hally/claws will be alright.

you can cannon alot of tasks aswell

but if cost is COMPLETELY irellevant, i suppose you could ice barrage some tasks too.

[Maining]

i was 60 atk pure with 86 slay bro and i never ranged slayer unles blue drag tasks and str is faster id say with ext + max str u do fast 40s dscim and with rng and broad bolts etc like 40s to but slow so id say str all the way

[Briggsy]

i mainly melee my tasks with ppots

[Scott|Fear]

U could melee with cannon i guess.

[Jonny]

Don't understand what the problem with melee is? I range though..

[Grifte]

Just melee, try to use cannon on the few tasks u can. Range those with high def, or where a safespot is highly recommended. Don't get def, don't get att if u don't want. U should be fine if u use claws or dhally too with spec recovs, depending on close to bank or fast returning.
