Tbh I'll only vote yes to boss slayer if you can't use a slay helm at the bosses - like RS3. Going to bosses like DKs, zammy or arma all require you to be on task (if you want half a chance at getting a team), corp, sara and bandos are nice because you can just go there whenever you feel like it. Also, if you go to these bosses without a task, you'll constantly be crashed.

I hope that the abyssal sire drops whips at a rate of 1/512-1/1024, I expect it will have a decent average drop table, being a slayer boss + it has a unique drop, so it doesn't need to be giving out tons of whips. I would have prefered for it to drop an abyssal rapier, maul, warhammer or even a scythe (could look awesome if you make it from one of the bosses legs) over a dagger, but oh well...

Finally - I hope that you revise the slayer requirements of the bosses, they should both be 90+ slayer in my opinion, the rest looks great (as far as my tired brain can recall), well done.

The Boss slayer task would be a good idea, but with limited bosses, for example it could easily ruin Corporeal beast, and many people would farm these tasks, so maybe there should be a limit on it, for example you may get the boss task once a day, in order to prevent bosses to be "overfarmed".
Maybe you could give the abyssal head an other function besides being a trophy, for example exchanging it for some xp in for example slayer, or construction. This could be a solution for all heads tho.
And for last, i am not sure wether private rooms for the upcoming bosses are an option, but i think it should be considered since Kraken may be slain in private, and the new bosses require lower slayer level, which means more adventurer will kill them.

100%^ Usually me and you have different opinions about dev blogs, glad to see we have arrived at the same conclusion which makes me feel better. As i feel you're opinion somehow always beats me!! Haha.

Anyways, such a long dev blog with so many pages of responses and not one response from a J-Mod kind of saddens me. I sure hope they are reading all of this.....

I'd like to see a response from a J-Mod as to weather a slayer helmet will be able to be worn for bossing tasks? As of late with these dev blogs and poles you guys have been leaving out the little details that are very important such as this.

I'd vote yes if you can't wear the helm and just earn slay exp as an incentive to go boss as well, I'd vote no if you can wear it as its quite overpowered. And it would sadded me to have to force myself to vote no just because there has been no response from a J-mod about the issue.

Sigh.. Come on jagex. I mean did you even think when you came out with some of these ideas? I mean that dagger. What a piece of junk. Hellhound boss? No slayer req? And do you realize one of the best weapons to train strength with is a MAGICAL STAFF. Good job. Obviously you are thinking really hard about these updates. Slow down with the updates before you ruin a perfectly fine game. Updates have to come. But damn. Put some thought into it.

Not bad, but some criticisms:

Abyssal Weapons should probably be unique in their "weapon type." As in, no other Whip exists in the game except the Abyssal Whip. I think something like an Abyssal Scythe would be more appropriate than an Abyssal Dagger, since Daggers are common weapons.

Allowing Boss tasks might ruin Bossing as it did in RS3 (so I hear). I don't like the idea of having to be on a task to even do Bossing at all. Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.
