Not sure if stupid or troll. 95 slayer for slightly better boots? Not sure if we're heading towards good or bad here? So abyssal whip was 85 slayer and is best weapon. leaps ahead of dragon scimitar, but ohhh nooo to get plus 1 str we need a whole 95 slayer. Do people think before saying things? what's next 99 slayer req to wield bronze dagger?

It needs a Slayer requirement regardless of the drop. It's a boss version of a slayer task. 95 is the perfect place for it.
You're forgetting about the part that hellhounds don't have a slayer req. So out of no where hellhounds are the most elite monsters?
Don't tread on me.

95 for hellhound boss? Hellhounds are common at low levels and require no slayer. Seems like the Abby boss outta be 95 more the hh.

Scrap the useless dagger. Give us a good weapon already ffs. Give us a longsword or warhammer with better stats than whip but slower attack. Also let bandos boots be in place of dragon boots for the new boots.

I have to agree with scrapping the dagger. You cannot balance it in such a way that the abyssal dagger will be a useful weapon because we already have a high stab accuracy weapon at level 70. Adding a special attack with limited use does not change this fact.

There are a few possible outcomes with insisting on releasing an abyssal dagger:

1) Higher stab bonus than hasta - this would devalue the hasta and probably not pass a poll

2) Lower stab bonus than hasta - no one will use it, except for pures who cannot use hastae due to the attack styles trained

Please consider either introducing a longsword (high slash/str 5 tick attack speed) or a war hammer (high crush/str 5 tick attack speed) instead. There is more room for slower, stronger, weapons in the 70-75 range than for faster, weaker weapons.

Alternatively, you could consider a short-sword with an attack speed of 3, but this would have to be balanced carefully to not be OP.

The changes in regards to Slayer helm bonuses and broad darts are welcomed though, I agree with these. I am still concerned about modifying assignment lists. Any meaningful modification will have significant consequences on points/hr and overall xp/hr (not necessarily an increase).

Its not designed to beat hasta. Its designed for pures and such. This be one pure update the community won't be shooting down!

The pandering is real.

Please poll a change to DKS, they should have 97 slayer as a requirement. Their drops are clearly too good to let everyone have access and they are a boss version of a commonly assigned slayer task despite having no slayer requirement themselves.

Interesting, I saw tons of feedback saying boss slayer should have specific monsters assigned or at least categories such as gwd, wild etc and you ignore all that feedback and just go with taking away slayer helm bonuses which had a fraction the amount of demand.

Going to vote no, that is still extremely op and completely pointless. I'm not sure what you were thinking coming up with that. Means someone can just sit and camp kq, dks, arma etc with a slay helm boost and it goes against what slayer has always been.

The slayer requirement for the hh boss is a pretty bad move imo. But it is what a lot of people are requesting so I can understand why you did it. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max
