Maging with Slayer

[gorgoroth]

What are some of the Slayer tasks i can Mage? I'll also be using a connon to speed these tasks up. And will Slayer Dart be good enough? Is slayer dart affected by Mage Attack bonus the same as any other spell?

[Sy_Accursed]

Theres not really a huge amount of magable slayer tasks.

 

 

 

Most melee serves you the best, with the odd rangable task.

 

 

 

Metal dragons are an obvious mage candidate thou

There are very few tasks that can be done with magic. Some include metal dragons, using ancients on Nechs in the CT. Also maging your Dag tasks by doing Dag Kings is a way to level it.

 

 

 

Yes Slayer dart, like al magic, is affected by magic bonus. The misconception came from it being used on the Barrow Brothers and the DK as those all have low magic def, meaning you also need low magic attack to hit them.

 

 

 

Some tasks slayer dart will do well, others though will do better on some task.

 

 

 

Imo i suggest you forget about using magic on tasks. Best to either use magic on Rock Lobsters or another way that doesn't involve combat.

[Sy_Accursed]

I dispute him up there slightly.

 

 

 

Magic IS good for combat and it can be worth trianing via combat.

 

 

 

However of all the monsters that you can effectively mage only like 2% come up as slayer taskes

I said using it on tasks, you can use it at rock lobs or use a noncombat way thats more effective then trying to find slayer tasks.

 

 

 

One reason i said that was i believe he is also trying to get the charms for summoning. So maging rock lobster would get charms that can also aid in getting summoning up.

Off-topic: Like what monsters are effectively mage-able and not in slayer tasks? Cows?

 

On-topic: You can mage:

 

- Metal dragons (*each and every of them)

 

- I heard maging blue dragons is pretty fast

 

- Dag. Kings

 

- Black and Greater Demons

 

- Abbysal demons

 

- Turoths/Kurasks (with slayer dart, it's purpose) - Which will cost you at least 500k/task.

I'm not sure how maging with a cannon will turn out...you'd probably take too much damage in places like Scarabites.

I don't think there are any slayer tasks where maging is better then meleeing or ranging. Unless you go kill the DKs. Normal combat magic is terrible xp and slow kills, you'd be better off just doing your task normally and then plankmaking.
