Turmoil on Slayer Tasks

[LitterBug]

For those that power slay - do you keep turmoil on for the whole monster (in order to reap the total benefits) or do you just keep the 15/23/15 bonus?

 

If you're flashing turmoil - would it make more sense to to grab piety instead (if you don't need the healing from soul split)

[Crossed_Body]

I just keep it on. Prayer potions are cheap.

[LitterBug]

my main question was whether you could pray turmoil and leave it on without having to bank.

 

what armor do you use?

If it is pros - is pros + leaving turmoil on > bandos + flash piety/turmoil (whichever is better?)

[Obtaurian]

You shouldn't flash piety/turmoil while slaying. You can easily do an entire task on an inventory of prayer potions, even in Bandos + fire cape (which has a pretty low prayer bonus). With proselyte you don't need anywhere near a full invent unless it's a very long task.

The main problem that I have is with:

-cannonable tasks

-black demons

-steel dragons

 

For these tasks, I can't manage to conserve all my prayer cause I have to pray an attack style as well

Is this a problem? (I always bring a dds/korasi to spec)

I do have the requirements to get an EEE - so I can do that if needed

No task lasts long enough to require that much prayer. You're using 1 point per second before pray bonus with piety + protect, if you use proselyte + ardy 3 + fury you have +24 prayer bonus which gives you a 5/9 multiplier to that (e.g. 5 points drained per 9 seconds). That's about 45 seconds per dose (25 per dose restore), or about 80 doses per hour, 20 pots per hour. You can store 18 in a war tort, problem solved :P.

 

With turmoil you are using 5/6 per second and restoring 30 per dose at least, so that's 36 seconds per dose without any prayer bonus, or about 13/10 times that with bandos + fire cape, over 45 secs per dose. Not to mention that you can tank iron dragons, steel dragons and black demons in bandos + fire cape. The only task you really have to pray on is miths.

For black demons and steel dragons, I find that a combination of decent defense gear like bandos, turmoil's defense bonus, EEE, and occasional soul split allows me to tank. If you're finding that using a DDS/Korasi to spec causes you to need to bank, switch to the EEE. You're not saving time with those specs if they mean you need to bank :). An EEE is like a combination bunyip and unlimited super defense potion all in one inventory space - very handy.

 

Depending on the task and the levels involved, this might not work on all cannonable monsters.
