Question in the title, is pest control still the fastest way to train attack/strength/defense?

I believe that bandits or zombie monkeys are faster now.

I could understand bandits, but why zombie monkies?

Oh man, another "how best can I waste my time by separating combat and slayer training" thread. It is SUCH A BAD IDEA to go powertrain combat. Seriously. I didn't powertrain at all, and I STILL maxed my melees at 89 slayer. You will regret camping someplace with no drops and no melee exp later- melee is NOT that hard to train.

Seriously. Always train combat with slayer, unless you are killing green dragons or aviansies to make money or something like that. You will regret your low slayer level and all that extra training you have to do later, and besides, training slayer is a whole lot more fun than camping at one monster because of the variety.

Why? Why train combat from slayer if you want fast experience. Slayer isn't the be all, end all of training, slayer is not the god-like skill it is made out to be.

 

Is it the variety? Big deal, you get the same 5 tasks day in and day out.

 

Is it the fact that you can make money from it? Well, using a cannon and only about 8k cannon balls, I've not made any money from slayer. Sure, you get those abbyssal whips and dragon boots, but how practical is that for making money? You could much faster make money and train combat by power-training and runecrafting.

 

One more thing, why should you care about slayer level if the only thing good about it is the total level from it? Is it for the respect of getting the cape? Phaw! Who cares about some stupid cape and why should I respect you for training slower than other people, but getting another skill up that helps you in no way after you've stopped training it? If you train just for the skillcape in a skill, you are, quite frankly, an idiot who doesn't even deserve to have level 2 in that skill.

 

The only reason I would train slayer would be for charms.

Slayer is actually fast xp, I average around 60-65k XP an hour on tasks. The black mask helps tons. Also with slayer you make tons of money, especially if you grow herbs and replace them every task. You can make almost a guaranteed 200k per task minimum, now who doesn't want that? Obviously combat XP is sacrificed if you choose to use farming, but it would be if you farmed while 'power' training. If you're worried that changing tasks might slow you down too much, you're changing too slowly. Use NPC Contact and changing from one task to the other takes about 2 minutes. (NPC Contact, Glory edge, Deposit drops, Withdraw Bunyip x 2, Run to summoning obelisk, Tele to new location.)

 

 

 

As we are horribly off topic here, PC is ~90k an hour total maximum, DH on lvl 167 monkeys is a bit higher but much riskier

Quite simply, you have no clue what you're talking about, being 71 slayer. The exp from slayer is almost as quick as powertraining because of the black mask, AND you get to do it on monsters that actually drop things (unlike wasting time at bandits or monkeys, which drop absolutely nothing). Also, when you get a little bit more mature, I'm sure you'll recognize the wisdom in training slayer to high levels (won't you feel silly when the level 95 slayer monster comes out and all of us people who "trained slower than other people" make millions off it?), and training slayer is much more miserable when you have maxed out your melees, which WILL happen before 99 slayer, probably before 90 slayer.

 

 

 

If you want that melee exp so quick now, you're just setting yourself up to be miserable when you want that slayer exp later.
