Hey all, very long time user of the site, first time posting, and my question is in regards to using the 'controlled' attack method. I'm training on bandits with guthan's armour and a god item to make the bandits fight me, I'm sure most of you know of this training method, but my quesiton lies with using the controlled attack method, I personally do in fact use it. But I know that for as long as I've been playing Runescape, it's been frowned upon, is this because most people are impatient and they want to see skills level in order to keep their attention from being diverted, or is it actually a poor way to train your three combat skills and constitution? I know that there are more efficient ways of levelling, like if I were to focus training on something with a Sara Sword for strength, and an Abyssal Whip for training attack, and since both of these weapons are faster than the spear, training with those weapons will be more efficient, but will it be such an improvement that it's worth sacrificing the ease of training on the bandits? I need no food, super pots only because I want to, I can stay there for 15 hours straight, without having to recharge prayer etc. And at my status of wealth, Guthan's is the only equipment I can afford, so I can't use a Sara Sword to train, and if I want to use a whip, I have to sell my Guthan's or stop training all together to make the money to afford other pieces of equipment. With these things in consideration, is it efficient for me to level using the controlled attack method, instead of seperating each skill and using a weapon and training method specific to that skill. Any feedback welcome, thanks guys.
