I didn't see to many comments about the broad darts. Maybe broad knifes instead?
The broad darts stats should stay were. they were and should be poled, not removed completly.

Ranger boots being used is completly absurd. A very rare tresure trail item to make the new ranger boots. No, just no. Unless you're planning on making dhide boots and requiring black *hide boots to make the new ones. make dhide boots starting at +3 range attack with green and going up to +6 for black *hide boots. That is unless you plan on making the rangers more obtainable or use only items that can be ontained through drops.

Currently you can chooose to use black dragon task on Baby black dragons, Black Dragons, or KBD. The new Hellhound boss should be no different. Like you said he won't be a push over and can only be killed on task.

The slayer level required to kill the new Cerebus hellhound boss should just be poled to be fair too. 95 seems a bit high for a boss that requires a task to kill and points to unlock. I'd be willing to bet that less than 1% of all broad bolts are used for their intended purpose. Why? Because they're the same strength as adamant bolts but for a fraction of the price. The only reason people wanted them was for cheap, powerful range ammo, not to use them on slayer tasks.

I've gone through checking the stats of the people complaining about the 95 slayer req and the average slayer lvl i'm seeing in the lower 80's...If anything this should motivate you to train your slayer rather then waste more xp complaining about how 95 is too high...

the demand of the boots vs then players with 95 slayer assigned the task are going to be rediculous the boots are going to cost so much because huge demand and few being brought into game. 90 slayer imo would be more realistic. people are going to want to pk with the boots i think if they settled at a good 500k-2m a year from now would be a good price. and a reasonable item to pk with. dhing needs more risk the sets arnt worth much any more.

I was all for it until you guys lost me on these three changes

1. Slayer helm bonuses will not be applied on boss assignments where the boss can't currently be assigned as a slayer target.

2. Increased Primordial boots strength bonus from 4 to 5.

3. Cerberus now requires 95 Slayer.

Making croad darts not usable with blowpipe would be good middleground.
Let's vote on Cerebus slayer required level.
Vote on if it should be ranger boots used or a different boot.
Should Sire require same slayer level and regular abyssal demons. (would match how other slayer monsters work) Drakes need a buff to be worth killing and not a blocked task

Voting no to everything here, I'm tired of slayer, we have other parts of the game that desperately need updates. Some of this seems severely unbalanced.

Herb sacks: Really? NMZ hasn't devalued potions enough? No, let's just do that further with the most updated skill in the game.

25,000 slayer experience for completing the fight pits? Really?

Baby green dragons in the wilderness? Wasn't the entire point of making the baby version so that people didn't have to venture into the wilderness to complete their green task?

This seems like a sloppily thrown together update to satiate the 12% of this game that prioritizes slayer and the even smaller percentile that takes part in the straw polls off site.

I hope enough other people will join me in voting no as to send a message to Jagex that other aspects of this game exist outside slayer and that every update doesn't need to severely devalue something.
