Do you use the "XP Total" bar to "predict" damage?

Not a big topic but i just want to know if anyone besides me uses the xp bar too calculate the damage (approximately, im not some super nerd or anything) before it shows on screen... Its kind of cool.

I usually use it just to see whether I've done damage or not for no particular reason. Since I only ever do Slayer it doesn't matter much to me.

Yeah, I actually used it as a way to practice my math skills while playing. I can usually tell what my hit is with weapons the speed of a whip or slower. Its pretty useful.

I use it TDs and FFA corp mostly, since at TDs they switch their prayer every 165 total exp, so it makes it a lot easier to know when to switch. At FFA corp I like to know if I hit or not just to know whether I am doing good, though it doesn't make a difference. I also use it during slayer if the monster is nearly dead so I know when to move on to the next monster and not waste time to see the actual hit go through.

No as I had no idea that you could do that.

If you click on them they hatch or grow up faster and look awesomer!!!

87.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot. If you're one of the 42% of statistics that doesn't, copy and paste this into your sig. In addition, 126.324% of the previous statement does not make sense.

Sure do. It comes in especially handy when ranging/maging the iron/steel dragons in Kuradel's dungeon, where space is very cramped. If it shows I'm about to land the killing blow, I'll know to turn on deflect melee before I get smacked by then next dragon.

Countless Armadyl armour pieces, Saradomin amulets, Dragon Hatchets, and Fremenik Rings.

I only use it to see whether or not my attacks hit. Since the exp gained factors in Constitution it's not a good idea to predict damage with the XP total bar.

 

Also I only use it in dungeoneering because those are the only monsters that actually have defense.
