Currently sat 100k-ish off 93 Slayer after waiting anxiously for this update, but I'm left somewhat disappointed.

Only the Smoke staff has originality (but has been discussed before)!
People did not do this justice, spamming for 'D claws' and 'Arcane stream.'
This game needs new ideas not repeated themes from RS3.

I personally saw some good ideas in the prior thread i.e smoke bow (if what Op'd spec)
but these ideas were outnumbered by those who are new to Runescape and what a repeat of RS3. -.- Much Love for the community.

I only am half for the tentacle even if it is the whip vine in disguise. I'll prob vote no to all.

Tentacle sounds like a good idea plus a great money sink, i just don't see people willing to lose a whip for +1 damage and possible poison. Binding for 5 seconds with special attack is of no use to pretty much anyone, should do something like deal 5% extra damage or heal for 10% of what you hit. If you make it useful it won't become dead content and you'll have your money sink.
Also think should be a 1/10 chance you lose tentacle rather then whip to avoid problems as people hoard whips and the number of people with tentacle's increases.

Smoke staff would totally devalue elemental & combination runes, I think it's a bad idea unless it only supplies the runes for a certain amount of casts (or something along those line). it wouldn't just devalue runes would also devalue the whole magic skill, just with people buying the staff and few 100k mind runes and akfing magic for practically nothing.

Necklace sounds like a good idea as long as it has a low alch value.
So is amulet of ranging coming next?

'The kraken tentacle will be dropped by the kraken boss and from the cave kraken at a rarer rate'
'The Occult necklace is a new magical amulet that increases your magic damage by 10% and will stack with existing boosts. It will be dropped by the smoke devil and its boss variant'
Does this mean the necklace will have the same drop rate from the smoke devil and the smoke boss?

Edit: I can imagine the necklace being more valuable, so if there is the same drop rate from both I can't see the boss being worth doing as it will take longder to kill and use more supplies but only yield an extra staff.

It will be slightly more common from the boss which also has a much more appealing overall drop table.

Wakka has a point. I've never witnessed RS in a sense where the JMods were this available to not only listen to our content ideas but put them into a poll so quickly so that they might actually be implemented into the game.

We've never had them working so closely with us and, in the time since 07's induction, I don't think we've ever had such a great opportunity to get what we want into the game.

And yet ... we spam for 2k10 content. Really? Come on now :p

I definitely like the idea of the whip accessory. If, and I think this is a possibility, the tentacle falls through in the polls can you please keep trying to add new Slayer Monsters and drops?

I'd also really appreciate an option to increase the number of monsters assigned in all, if not a few more, tasks. For instance Kurasks.

Also can you please add more Slayer monster head drops :D ? For instance a Smoke Devil head, Dark Beast head, Abberant Spectre head, etc. I LOVE the idea of head drops.

Exactly!

We lack melee helmets badly! we have neits for str or torags for defence?!

yet i didn't see one person suggest a 'smoke helm'?

this game will be RS3.5 before we know it.

the community basically asked for a whip vine recoloured and stats altered.
