general slayer gear: SS or ZS

Featured Replies

On my noob account (78 slayer) I can just buy a SS or ZS, not both. Which should I choose for general slaying (kuradal) ?

 

I don't skip tasks (don't block them except for black demons either) and I have no access to exteme pots

SS is useless, you already have 99 Str, and, besides WF, Whip+ Defender is always better. Same deal with ZS. The only thing its better than WHip+ZS is WF and dragons. Honestly, for overall Slayer, just use a Whip.

Dungeoneering isn't a skill.

I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden.

PM me if you want to chat. My PM is always off.

My keyboard is on fire. Want some?

If you're going to get one of the two get the ZS, it's good for both stab and crush instead of just crush.

The account I'll use it on is 88 attack, 99 str and 85 defence. The task (currently) I need either for is WF but I'm unsure for other situations which I should buy.

 

So you guys say ZS?

SS is barely better than ZS at waterfiends--you can hardly tell the difference at all. ZS is good at waterfiends, plus it's better than a whip at dragons with super antifires. Also, SS on crush trains strength, which you have 99 in already; ZS on crush is controlled.

ZS by far

you made the right choice for zspear

Zspear is FAR more usefull then the SS is, and ever will be. The SS is honestly an overrated item, even before rapier came out. The real efficient players used a Whip on controlled before the rapier. It was only ever good at Waterfiends, and the difference between Spear and SS there is like..a few minutes saved per hour, if even that.

 

It honestly surprises me that the Z spear isn't worth more then the SS.

SS does have a minor advantage at waterfiends for less-than-maxed players (besides being marginally faster) in that its crush setting trains strength rather than controlled, and strength xp is more valuable than controlled xp.

 

Also, there is significant demand for strength-training items, and SS is the best strength-training item that gp can buy.
