It's likely no one knows the answer to this but I'll ask anyway. Maybe someone can do some research.

 

On slayer tasks, would the 6% avatar proximity bonus be more useful than steel titan for someone who wants to maximise xp/hr?

I'm going to hazard a guess at no.

 

Let's say titans up your xp:hr by about 4% due to faster kills.

So avatar would be 2% more xp in that form.

But then consider you get 3% xp if someone else on ur world has ava out so titan + 3% from being on ava world would result in 7% more xp:hr vs 6% more.

 

Not sure of exact numbers but I recall reading somewhere (sure somebody will yell at me if I'm wrong) Titans upped your dps by like 10% and 10% more dps should roughly translate to 10% more xp:hr.

So you'd end up with 10% more for just titan

13% more for titan and ava world

6% for just ava.

 

Even if my numbers are off I'm fairly certain Titan should result in >3% more xp:hr which means titan + ava world > ava with you.

Ah that's true but consider that sometimes the slayer spot on the world your avatar is on is already being used. So you'll have to hop and lose the 3% bonus. If you bring avatar with you, there's no problem.

 

From my limited use of steel titan so far, I dont think it's that effective. Maybe I'm using it wrong. I'm just spamming special move.

 

edit: another minor point. Steel titan doesn't increase xp per task, just shortens the task. Avatar doesn't shorten the task but gives more xp per task. Since tasks where you can use a titan are above average slayer xp/hr, this is a small point in favour of the avatar.

I would say no. Especially since it'll be annoying for your clan since you'll be hopping a lot.

Steel titan is the equivalent of using a cannon in single-combat, roughly. Which amounts to a lot more than 6% boost in xp overall, or whatever the avatar gives.

In non-cannon multi (e.g. chaos tunnels) the titan will up xp/hr by 20-30% easily, perhaps up to 40% for things like waterfiends (since they must be fought with crush weapons, which have lower raw dps than your average slayer weapon, while titans seem to hit equally well). When cannoning, it's less, but still 10% no problem.

 

Of course, the titan also costs money, and because you kill faster, you get more drops as well, especially effigies and charms being important here.

Titans may not increase xp/task but they definitely increase xp/hr way more than the avatar would.
