The new ferocious rings are great for rangers. I'm currently ranging iron dragons with the ferocious ring, full void, and broad bolts. I have 95 range and with a range pot and flashing the 15% prayer I can hit 45s. Not a lot, but I've seen quite a few of em. So yeah, ranged and mage have been underpowered for a while in terms of slayer training, but now ranged is actually able to do something. Not sure how well the ring works with mage though.

 

Void sucks at iron+steel dragons. You really should be using d'hide/arma. The lack of range offense really hurts against higher defense creatures.

Meh. Iron dragons' defence isn't that high. For Steels sure, but Irons are easily managed with Void.

The ferocious ring favours fast weapons, so knives darts and shortbows should profit the most from the +4 (which is always a +4 as long as you dont hit a 0!)

It's a challenge to get it in my eyes, and the reward fits it nicely. Oh and let's not forget how completely Bad-a** it looks.

it is no more overpowered then the black mask they have the same bonuses. only real bonus is for dust devils,and banshees see as slave ammy(e) already gave +15 to damage to aberrant specters.

Slayer helm + Fury is actually better offence wise (defence aswell I think...) . Salve + Neitz is a pretty poor combo since you're taking away all the bonuses of a fury for +3 strength and 5% attack/strength. 5% is pretty darn small - and if you count up percentage bonuses of the salve and slayer helm you'll see that the 15% boost with fury adds up to more than the 20% with salve. I'd bet that even with a glory the slayer helm would come out on top - but I haven't counted nor tested that.

 

Most of the time you can't even use a neitz with the salve since you're forced to use the facemask or earmuffs (or both). I always thought salve was better until I counted it and tested it so I'm sure there are plenty of people who might benefit from reading this :thumbup:
