The impact of Evolution of Combat on Slayer

Squeal of Fortune

Now that the Evolution of Combat has been unleashed, defensive tactics have more influence on the battlefield than ever before. With this in mind, Yelps is here to help!

Between Friday and Monday, skill-specific lamps for Defense, Prayer and Constitution won on the Squeal of Fortune yield triple XP! What’s more, generic non-skill-specific lamps will also give out triple XP when used to level up the same skills!

If you’re looking to attain more vital life points by raising your Constitution, pray your way to some useful combat effects, or simply boost your basic Defence level, then you’ll want to spin at every opportunity this weekend!

You can get your hands on all this extra defensive XP between Friday, November 23rd at 00:00 GMT and Monday, November 26th 2012 at 23:59 GMT.

You can purchase spins here, or by clicking ‘Add Spins’ next to the wheel in Squeal of Fortune. You can also check out our Squeal of Fortune wiki for info on ways of getting extra spins.

The impact of Evolution of Combat on Slayer and Prayer has been the cause of much discussion among the community. During the beta, many players commented that Prayer was underpowered and that Slayer was now too intensive with the new ability system. To remedy this, we are increasing the buffs that Prayer offers for the EoC launch, and a couple of months ago we unveiled the Momentum ability to aid players with lengthy, low-intensity combat.
