Safe Spots in Runescape

New article in Tip.it Times about HD update bringing not only new graphics, but also changing safe spots locations all over Runescape. I noticed it too, though I am not using safe spots that often anymore. The one I noticed was in Taverly dungeon (the room with Black Demons). It used to be a reliable safe spot, now it is "semi-safe". I am still able to cannon there, but it takes more effort in keeping it going smoothly. Actually, more fun!

One other thing I though about in regards of the safe spots is that I am rarely using them now. Higher combat level and ability to use healing gear like Guthans and Saradomin Godsword made safe spots rather redundant to me. It is now much faster to engage monsters in hand-to-hand combat than ranging them from a corner or behind some rock formations.

Does it happen to you too? Higher combat means less safe spotting all the way down to no safe spotting all together?
