Best Aura for PvM/Slayer?

[Tyler93]

I don't know all that much about these auras so I'm just wondering which one would be the best for me. I'm looking for one that will be good for bossing and slayer as well considering that's pretty much all I do.

 

My stats: 99/99/94 Melees, 87 Ranged, 94 Magic, 79 Prayer and 80 Summoning.

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: I only have 19,000 loyalty points but I'm willing to wait and save for a more expensive aura if it's worth it.

Equilibrium

penance or vampyrism

[Artemis1330]

Disregard the above post, those auras suck. Don't need more hp for slayer, and p pots are 3k ea. Pointless. Hedgehog is correct, equilibrium hands down.

[Tyler93]

Thanks for the replies! And yeah, They seemed like decent auras for a lower level but I don't have problems with staying full health on a task. So I guess I'll go with the equilibrium. Even with bossing it's worth it to get the 25% off your max and add it to your minimum? Might sound like a stupid question but haven't played for quite some time until now.

 

Also - Another question seeing as I haven't been playing lately and potions are insanely cheap, Should I be using Piety on every task? Didn't notice how cheap potions are now, Almost seems stupid not to use boosting prayers. Will I still be making profit if I do this?

 

Btw, Remember me Artemis? :P I remember bossing with you a few years back haha!

[Leik]

Yes, definitely pray turm/piety on all tasks. And I'm pretty sure it's still a slight profit (or at least break even) in the long run if you turm/cannon/titan everything.

[Tyler93]

Awesome, So would I stick to regular gear (bandos/soul wars cape/etc.) or do I want to wear prayer boosting gear?

[Saradomin_Mage]

Prayer potions really are that cheap now, so it's not a bad idea to use Piety/Turmoil in max strength gear (Bandos, TokHaar-Kal etc).

 

Also welcome back Tyler, I remember you :P

[Cow]

Use max strength gear and turm/piety (really though, sell max str gear for turmoil/extremes first) unless you have a very long task where you'd have to bank if you turmoiled in max strength, but could manage a single trip in turm+nearly max strength. I'm thinking tasks of 250 dark beasts or black demons, mainly. Even then I'm not sure if you'd run out of prayer.

[Artemis1330]

Wow yea, I remember you. I may even have some pics around somwhere of us at pvm, and i think you're in at least one of my vids lol. I probably still have you added even. Good to see you back :)

 

also, seriously consider making a few thousand recover spec potions. They are insanely underrated for slayer. I had some comparison data of task length with no spec recov vs with spec recover, but lost it sadly. They really do make a massive impact on slayer xp/hour. Some great tasks to use them on are dark beast, metal dragons, and abby demons. But I'd take as many as I could on nearly every task. If you cant use a titan for a task, take yak/turtle and fill it with pots. They cost about 3k ea to make and are untradeable, so you would need to make them.

They are not even remotely worth it. Unless you like plan on switching to void every time you spec, but that's a huge waste of apm.

[Zaaps1]

what exactly is the implication of equilibrium that makes it so useful?

[Hedgehog]

Reduces overkill. It's especially great for tasks like greaters, where you often two or three hit the monster.

[Zaaps1]

ah ok, so in pvm it's far less useful?

[Hedgehog]

For bosshunting, yes. Although it might be better if you're crashing at bandos. No other combat auras are worth it, though.

faster tasks = not remotely worth it? ok

[Zaaps1]

gotcha thanks hedge <3

depends on how much time youre wasting making those potions.

Not remotely worth it as in like 1% increase in dps that costs a shit ton of time.

[Artemis1330]

At ~2k pots per hour (and 400k herb/hour), it's hardly a waste of time to make the few you'd need for 99 slayer.

[Hedgehog]

[bleep] you because now I have to do math.

 

This is me lobbying just for you:

 

 

Average raw damage with a rapier: 321

Average raw damage with claw spec: 490

 

You can spec twice every 5 minutes (24 times an hour) without spec restores. So 1476 rapier hits and 24 claw hits.

Spec restores add 5 specs per 5 minutes, so that's 7 specs or 84 specs an hour and 1416 rapier hits.

 

Without spec restores: 473,796 rapier damage, plus 7704 claw damage. 481,500 damage/hour total.

With spec restores: 454,536 rapier damage, 41160 claw damage. 495,696 damage/hour total.

 

Spec restores are a 2.9% dps increase at 100% accuracy. Every hour of slaying with spec restores saves 1.74 minutes.

 

The most productive way of training herblore is by making prayer renewals. You need to make more than 30m/hour for them to be less than 2.9% more productive than spec restores.

 

I should also emphasize that the breakoff income gets higher as accuracy decreases.

[Artemis1330]

Thanks for proving my point, spec recovers do increase damage. Thanks.

 

also prayer renewals are the same xp/hour as spec restores.

 

oh yeah, [bleep] you too.

[Hedgehog]

You said it was worth it. I said it was not. I proved my point. You replied with a [bleep]y post with a flat out lie.

 

I'm not going to continue with this any further.

[Lose No Hope]

also prayer renewals are the same xp/hour as spec restores.

Because 190=200. All of the math you have provided in this thread has shown me how stupid Hedgehog is. Thanks :)

according to your post, they do result in more xp/hour. And spec recovers also generate slightly more herb xp/hour then renewals at only a slight gp increase, but you're not making these to 99 herb anyway. But they still are the same xp (slightly better actually). So... spec recovs do increase damage and are virtually the same as training herb with renewals.

 

oh, and [bleep] you again.
