Overall the dev blog looks great, it’s nice to see a Slayer expansion so packed! With that being said, I’ll throw my two cents in.

-Boss Slayer
This is an update that many of us have requested for a very long time, and it’s quite a disappointment to see that in the Dev blog, it’s announced the way it is. It would have been nice to have a separate Slayer Master or option to get boss based tasks, however I see no problem with offering it as an unlockable task for 200 Slayer points, one of the bigger disappointments to me is that I believe it should be one of two options, such as:
1) “Kill 37 Giant Mole’s” or “Kill 32 Zulrah’s”
2) “Kill 23 boss monsters in the Godwars Dungeon”

Secondly I strongly disagree with not allowing those on a Slayer task benefit from the Slayer Helm, it really defeats the purpose of the mask that so many of us enjoy. When most of us Slay and receive a task that we can use the Slayer Helm (at the boss variant), we always look forward to getting a Dagganoth, Aviansie, Greater Demon task, why should player who participate in Slayer be punished because a select few are too lazy to get their Slayer up? You should allow the Slayer Helmet to function as intended, and work on ALL tasks!

- TzHaar Task
Nothing much to be said about this task, It’s great that it’s finally being added.

- TzTok-Jad Pet
I’m glad the Jad pet is in the blog, and I love the system about obtaining the pet via completion of the cave, as well as sacrificing the cape. The only downside is that there’s people out there who have camped the caves obtaining 50 & 100 capes in preparation for the release, maybe we could have an additional option for someone to purchase the pet for “x” amount of capes on top of this new system?

- Cerberus
The boss has a great concept, hopefully it can live up to how it sounds. The level 95 Slayer requirement is definitely a positive, as it gives game ending content, and something for players to work towards. I hope that you guys stick to the requirement, I was disappointed in the past when you removed the 95 Runecrafting requirement from the diaries. The boot drops sound interesting, I don’t see any issues with them, very happy they don’t degrade, and the benefit of infusing it with the current top tier boots will allow the prices to stay stable. I’m a little neutral on the infernal tools, they will be a positive update, however I wonder how often people will actually use them considering they degrade after 5,000 uses. Always glad to see a pet for the respective boss.

- Abyssal Sire
Another interesting concept, however with this Slayer boss only requiring 85 Slayer, I worry that it’s going to be extremely crowded if it doesn’t have an instanced area. On top of that with the way the server stability has been recently from the DDOS attacks, I’m not positive I’d even feel comfortable fighting it in an instanced area without some form item recovery system upon death. I honestly don’t see the dagger passing a poll, as It’s really only going to benefit in a PvP scenario, it may be of more use to introduce a sword with a similar special attack, so it can be used in PvP, as well as an alternative to those who PvM. I support the Abyssal Sire dropping whips, and its own pet.
