-The slaying boost is substantial, especially early on. Because each attack gets a flat (+1d5 - 1) damage boost, characters using fast weapons like [[Short Blades]] and/or have multiple [[auxiliary attack]]s benefit the most, although neither is required to benefit. Still, it should be compared to wearing an attribute ring or defensive ring.

 When judging artefacts with slaying, keep things in perspective. Gaining +1 slaying is too small to realistically matter, while negative slaying is obviously negative. Unless the slaying is particularly high (or low), the other qualities of an artefact are more important.

-Fairly high. More damage and accuracy means you can kill enemies faster, which means less exposure to their attacks. Since each attack gets the same +4 bonus, fast weapons (like [[Short Blades]]) get the most benefit out of slaying. Slaying also works well if your character has multiple [[auxiliary attack]]s, since each aux attack gets its own slay bonus.
