Can you tell me if Ice barrage/Burst compared to Blood barrage/burst slows down the XP at monkeys?

I was going to afk monkeys standing in the middle of the room now, and later I might hire two spinners.

I hear the freeze cooldown is too long or that the freeze keeps the monkeys from stacking and you end up with less damage/xp per hour.

Google takes me to retards on reddit disagreeing about it, without explanation.

Would be similar, blood barrage is just more expensive. The different between stacking monkeys and standing in the middle of the room isn't significant enough to warrant the cost of hiring spinners IMO, but I'm sure there's people that will disagree. Spinners make a bigger difference chinning because of the higher attack speed.

I did the afk standing in the middle of the room method for both mage and range and would recommend it if you don't mind being a little bit less efficient for the benefit of being extremely afk. Unless for some reason you want to grind it out super quick, you'll spend a lot less money doing it this way rather than hiring spinners.

Yeah gave it a go, with Ice burst standing one tile from west wall and two tiles south of northern edge, made a timer that reminds me to pot up every 2 1/2 minutes and re aggro the monkeys every 10 minutes.
For ranged I stacked monkeys in the corner and used red chinchompas to 99 as your attacking you can click the other square and not loose a game tick between attacks but it sucked doing 7k chins a day.

Ice burst seems to have a the same cooldown time as blood burst, I think Ice Barrage has the longer freeze like in pvp.
If barrage is the same attack rate then its only like 30% more for over double the cost.

I wouldn't pay 3m per 1k for this service though
