You're ignoring the doubled accuracy. Doubled accuracy with guaranteed DoT if the first hit makes contact is defiantly overpowered, especially for the bludgeon.

The fact that it's melee content makes it a balance issue by itself.
The double accuracy is a bit strong, especially for maul since that will have higher stats than the dagger. Personally, I felt the special was fine for the dagger, so if they just changed the maul's special it could still work. It seems like the special was designed to be combed with another one, so keeping the drain at 50% makes sense. Although, even for the dagger double accuracy is a lot so I wouldn't mind if it was 50% more accurate instead.

Either way, I don't feel the specials are too strong to add as is, but would like to see them changed. Alone they are decent, but when combined with others, you can notice a bit of power creep. For example, stacking venom and bleed does seem pretty strong since you would they need to negate venom and heal the initial hit plus bleed damage while trying to deal with other attacks, possibly even another special. Still would love to see the bleed effect return, but that is something to consider.

Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.

I like the new system. Prevents everyone from just getting boss tasks and using the new-found slayer attack bonus to pwn Bandos like never before. If you're not interested in being able to be assigned Sara, Arma, DKs, or Barrows specifically, then just don't unlock the tasks. Personally, I'd like to get a Sara task or Arma task, as Sara is unavailable for slayer and Aviansies are so rare even once you unlock them. Bossing is intended for high level players, not mid level players, so I don't see why this matters. If you want to benefit from boss slaying, simply level up your combat! That's why you shouldn't be able to use the slayer helm/black mask for boss tasks period. As it is atm someone will always be doing all of these bosses just due to the random assignment. The only thing this really changes is excluding lower levels or lesser geared players. Before someone would get boss task and go "Well I can't do arma for X reason but I can do Barrows so lets go there" now it'll be "Go do Arma? Well I can't so I guess I'll have to cancel task." That change didn't really change anything other than making the boss slayer assignment update totally useless for a lot of people. I'm not sure there is really any logic at all behind doing that.

not just let it be given on a golden platter to the masses

I wasn't aware that a 91 slayer requirement was giving things to the masses.

You guys can get 95 slayer content later or would you rather the main continent get everything leaving very few options for Zeah?

later ?!?!?!? you mean in ***** 3 years yeah right -.-
(most likely the last slay update before zeah )
what about that huge hole in slayer content from 93-99
we dont need a new monster at 91 theres enough fresh stuff to kill
and why should a lvl 91 slayer monster have better drops than smoke devils
this make no sense ..
PUT CERBERRUS BACK WHERE IT BELONGS ... AT 95 !

I already ranted at how terrible the Abyssal Sire boss is and the drop it provides. So you've provided a new crush weapon and kept the useless special attack. You've now doomed all use of the Abyssal Dagger and have provided a useless 2H crush weapon... WITH THE SAME USELESS SPECIAL ATTACK? I am seriously losing faith with this team.

I am looking forward to whips being worthless, abyssal dagger being out classed by dragon dagger, and this 2H being a laughing stalk for not being provided 1H for it's most certainly semi-useless stats when announced, and/or a new special attack for one or both of the weapons.

Gets a new best in slot ranged weapon plus additions to the 2 best staffs in the game only a couple of months ago alongside a ranged/ magic only boss whilst melee received no weapon.

Melee gets 2 new weapons this time round and you go nuts?

Mindblown. I just face-desked.
