I LIKE THAT IDEA! Have a required slayer level so NMZ prods can't access it!
Why do ppl automatically assume every high lvl combat who didnt train slayer is a "nmz prod"? Adding slayer requirement to a Boss is plain stupid since there are a lot of PvMers out there who just dont like doing slayer

I see a lot of ppl asking for the slayer requirement and i think that's plain stupid. Boss killing and slayer are two different things and they should stay that way and i think i speak for all the PvMers out there who just dont like slayer. I've been doing a lot of Bossing and, since im maxed combat already, i dont see the point of doing months of slayer just so i could kill a boss

second this. No slayer requirement please. I love bossing and I don't like slayer.

I don't much like the drops this thing gives.
The scale idea is kind of weird.

Snakes have two main features to work with: fangs and hide.

Why not make a new ' dagger/defender fang ' combination? It would be non-degradable, poisonous (not 'venomous'), and hit with the weapon dagger and do some damage whenever your opponent tries to hit you based on your melee stats. You could get the main weapon to be more powerful than the dragon dagger and the off-hand to be the same as the rune defender. It's not recoil but basically a counter move; we don't have that yet.

With the ' rough snake hide ' you could create some fantastic new armor that isn't OP. Maybe make it slayer specific amour? If you wear it during a slayer task it gives you an effect where you're basically using thick-skin with the same stats as black *'hide.

You can give the snake the drop 'snake eggs' which can be used to make a cake that boosts your slayer as much a wild-pie. We don't really need any new food though...

Maybe include a snake-skull helm? A magic based helm with prayer bonus?

The staff with the snake part is a really awkward combination of items. I don't understand it. I feel like one of the things that made the game great back in the day was the storytelling part of it. Basically if this was a D&D game, why the hell would the snake drop something totally unrelated to the staff of the dead that can be used on it? I kind of understand the Kraken tentacle but this is a bit of a stretch.

I'm not sure about the upcoming poll question
"Should doing damage in the Pest Control minigame give you full XP for the damage you deal?"

I think the minigame has enough appeal at the moment having the void set as a reward, getting amazing exp there as well might not be what we need in the game

If it's what players have been asking for I think boosting exp to 75% instead of 50% would be a better idea otherwise people are going to start using pest control to train their stats and I don't think thats great

Ok, but the thing is that you shouldn't be able to AFK for a couple weeks then go bossing. The game doesn't work like that and this isn't a private server. High stats are what should drive the game, not AFKing.

AKA, you like AFKing and doing bossing. The game is meant to be played not AFKed. Achievements should be just that, achievements, and if you decide to ONLY train combat through easy methods you shouldn't have the same access to the high level content as the people who play legitimately.

Slayer requirement makes perfect sense. (Like pvming and not slayer) <- lolwut

Tbh, you've got to remember that just because people don't train slayer, it doesn't mean that they're NMZ prods. I camped skele monkeys with salve (e) waay before NMZ to get my stats up - which is why my slayer is a lot lower than it could be.

Since when is training combat using slayer more legitimate than training combat any other way lol? The game is meant to be gone about/played in any way you feel like without breaking the rules. Sorry bud I don't think you get to decide that your way of playing is the right way of playing. Wouldn't that be great though? Also adding a high slayer level requirement (90+ I think was suggested a few times?) would be potentially a lot worse than adding a high combat requirement onto a boss, and we all know how that went over at corp. So gl getting that 75% vote redneck.

rune defenders and 1 def rangers just got ruined

You are a fool, There'll be plenty of rune pures using rune defenders like myself and many people won't be using the spike purely of the fact it degrades I'm all for degradeables because they keep a reasonably good price.

I don't see why 1 defence rangers are now ruined either.
