So, if slayer sucks for being bad combat xp, all skills suck for being bad combat xp (except farming and hitpoints), because... Attack is bed strenght xp! Strenght is bad defence xp! Defence is bad attack xp! Mining is bad combat xp! And so is smithing, crafting, runecrafting, woodcutting, firemaking, hunter, ranging, prayer, magic, herblore, summoning, thieving and fishing. Woo for logics? =D> just get over it that combat xp is no way to train combat, but just another skill. ;)
