Slayer

Slayer is an awful skill. I like it a lot, but it's just unbelievably bad. Charms aren't good. Rewards are crummy. Aviansies or Green Dragons > Abyssal Demons/Spiritual Mages. The only reason you should train it is if you're looking to max out... which believe me, I'm not looking to do.

So why do people train it? Variety? Sure, you can assign your own slayer tasks and it'll be better xp and not as boring. Think of those Steel Dragons or Mithril Dragons tasks you get. 10K xp an hour or worse. And if you don't have a cannon... Suqahs are going to be bad, Black Demons are going to be bad, half the tasks are bad. Also, of the slayer masters only Duradel is cool. Vannaka is sorta lame and Sumona is sorta evil. Chaeldar's a wishy-washy fairy, Mazchna's a cripple, and Turael is a n00b who probably can't even beat up his own slayer tasks. That doesn't really matter, but still. Slow skill, bad rewards, yet no one is clamoring for it to be fixed. There should be a 95 Slayer monster that's the best money in the game or something difficult like that.
