Solartide Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Are you the type that potions up, uses prayer, and power slay through everything? Or do you chill back with a book, check up on RS now and then to make sure you aren't dead, and just sit in a room full of aggro monsters? I'm the latter. Run into a mob of hell hounds, open up a book, sit back and read. Every few minutes I'd check the screen to see if I need to soul split a bit to get my health back up, then it's back to reading for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreezer Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I kind off do the same thing but instead of reading a book, i use splitscreen to watch my character hack away at monsters on the one side and look at forums/yt-videos/facebook/... on the other side of my screen, no superintensive power-through-your-assignement for me :thumbsup: Sacrificing efficiency for fun since 1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptical Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I'm sort of a combination of the two: I try to max out and slay quickly, but it really doesn't work out too well.

PereGrin Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 it depends on the task for me. If the monster can be found in a multicombat zone, I use combat familiars and super sets and stuff. If its single combat, its normally just sit back and relax. I get on here to check forums, or just read one of the guides or something. Maybe check youtube while im at it.

xSxqPowerx Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I powerslay everything as fast as I can. That being said, I do usually multitask on forums or something else while doing it when possible (but for a lot of tasks it isn't possible).

Mischlings Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Like most people, it all depends for me. I break up tasks into different "categories" in my mind, so my approach really varies with the task, though there is the occasional bit of overlap. Money tasks -- I don't really power through these, I go for the amounts of money that you can make on them, which slows down xp but there's a ton of money to be made thereExamples: All dragons, aberrant spectres Powertraining tasks -- I go all out on the offensive -- prayer, cannon, combat familiar if I canExamples: Dagannoths, Suqahs, black demons I don't strictly follow that all the time, but I tend to follow it pretty closely. I piety just about everything, so I'm further towards the powertraining end of the spectrum.

Bladewing Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Extremes, sometimes overloads.Cannon.Steel Titan.Turmoil. I guess that's powerslaying - I just like going fast. :^_^: Doesn't require constant attention, since I mostly skip the tasks that require it (fire giants, dust devils, bloodvelds, etc.) now that I'm 99 slayer.

Obtaurian Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'm a crazy powerslayer. It's probably the only skill that I put 100% focus into. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star. Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I just get a inv full of monkfish and start slaying. I don't know much about the prayers and summoning so I stick with the basics. Depending on the monsters, I am either sitting back and just checking up on my character for health and whether I'm attacking something but sometimesI have to pay full attention to ones like Abberant Spectres so that I don't waste prayer. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elektrik2H Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I guess I'd say that when I slay I like to go at a decent speed, so I'll pay attention, but not fully. I still multi-task and text, and stuff like that. But while slaying on my pure (this account) I only use range, so I basically find the sagespot that corresponds with the monster, and fire away. Checking back every minute or so to attack another and pick up drops. So would that put me almost dead center? Goal: 99 & Through Credits to Zokot for the sig.

Alistair Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Err I guess I'm a lazy slayer. I use super sets, and that's about it. Sometimes cannon during Dagannoth or Kalphite. The only task I use prayer on is Elves. I can also write with my left hand whilst slaying, so that works out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Depends on the monster. Some are appropriate for turmoil powerslaying, some are not. Blue dragons are not. My pack yak can only recover its special bar so fast, so if I turmoil through that task it will mean more banking, whereas just using bandos/firecape I get about 40 bones + hides per trip. Love those tasks, usually make 1.2m or so from them. :) Also anything I need to use protection prayers on I usually don't turmoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevestia Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 It depends on both my assignment and my mood. I always pot during tasks, but sometimes I piety and use spec restores and dragon claws, and other times I just read forums/a book or talk while the monsters are aggressive and check back every now and then.

Juneg Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I do a few tasks, maybe three per day... really slowly. Then I'd get distracted (when I'm at a bank, changing equip. for the next task). And I'm usually watching something on the side or lurking in the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reticked Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 As long as there isn't an imminent threat of myself dying, I will barely even look at the game except to pick up drops. 189th to achieve "100" firemaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Schmoe Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'm not real big powerslayer, unless maging a fair amount of my tasks counts (typically surge spells). As far as prayer goes, I only use it when necessary (waterfiends, aquanites, mutated bloodvelds, and dagganoths in Waterbirth dungeon to name a few), and even then only protection prayers.

Sir_Squab Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Definitely not a power slayer. Don't touch potions at all (honestly, I just don't LIKE using potions, save em for bosses), I can't think of any task I pray at except for waterfiends....I'll still use cannons on dags but that's about it. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig.

Cheefoo Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 More recently, I've been becoming more of a power slayer. Since I've learned how ridiculously efficient flicking piety is compared to using no prayer, or keeping it on for the whole time, I'm becoming more obsessed with efficiency in general. I wear proselyte on tasks I know my bunyip can handle for me to minimise prayer consumption, I always use a rune defender unless the task requires a special shield, I use potions more often, not just when they're down to 5 levels above norm, and I don't get distracted with worthless drops. I've really, really noticed an increase in speed with my slayer tasks, and I'm loving it.

I pot every task, piety gargs, hells, and greaters always. I stopped cannoning after 85 slayer, and unless im pietying I dont pay much attention. Oh and I solo mage/brid prime and rex all dag tasks. DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

atestarossa Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Absolutely a powerslayer. Paying more attention and being rewarded for it is the game style that suits me best. So I move in between attacks, uses potions and prayers, and try to be as swift as possible in between tasks. But I take breaks though, farming, clue scrolls, chatting, facebook, youtube, reading up on news and debate them. I really just don't like multitasking, so I'd rather pay 100% attention to slaying for a while, with breaks from time to another to do other stuff instead of trying to do all of it on the same time, and just end up doing all those things slower.

Cassynder Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I always pay attention, use super strs, but i don't pray unless its to heal/protect. Don't use turmoil of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
