it is really personal preference, 5 attack is worth the 1 cb sacrifice for more accurate hits. someone prefers hitting 0s with 1 attack and have abit higher str lol.
too bad that u turned it to gmauler, i mean what a waste, 55 slayer levels. i had too something like that in mind but no fken way, i better make new acc for it. i did something like that to my f2p "obby mauler" once, in pre-eoc when i was rc staffing in wildy, i got high rc level to get the rc staff because it was good weapon for 1-5 att in f2p, then i got 40 attack on it, regretted it abit(surely rc isnt as hard as slayer but you experience the same thing)
when im finished, ill make f2p pure too, i also like f2p pkin , so ill have 2 different accs to pk with.
