Ok i agree that slayer is not the fastest xp for melee, but i will say that slayer is the most efficient way to get maxed combat. Why do i say this, well because slayer gets you loads of charms. I am 96 slayer and 96 summoning, almost 97 slayer and i currently have 98 summon banked. I got 95% of my charms from slayer. Im not going to read pages 7-49, when you could just tell me the xp rates.
