Poison damage and levling combat stats?

[oldguy73]

Great and knowlegable rs players, riddle me this:

 

 

 

Ok, so i got to wondereing about how poison damage effects the advancement of combat stats. So i go down and poison a black demon, recording my points in strength and hitpoints and let the posion take effect. 18 points of poison damage later neither had changed?

 

 

 

So does this mean that the only thing that poison is good for is killing a monster faster given that is seems you dont get any advancement in other stats? All expect maybe slayer points since it goes off total monster hitpoints upon killing?

 

 

 

Anyone else wonder about this?

 

 

 

Thanks

The only way I think of it is you can have an untrimmed slayer cape with poison. :thumbsup: You won't gain the maxe HP you can from the monsters(if you tried hard enough, slayer and HP would level to 99 at the same time).

hp is the monster's hp*1.33, slayer is hp*1.
