New forum rules. Read them here please: http://forum.tip.it/topic/292649-new-posting-guidelines/ Back on topic.. 4 of the 6 brothers use melee (and have melee bonuses), so you will want to use the Magic attack style on the Salamander. Since you will be using magic, your ideal armor would be magic offensive setup. Since you will be praying, you will have 100% protection and there is no need for tank gear at first. For Ahrim and Karil you will need to use range and melee (respectivly) and may wish to bring D'hide and Melee armor to get defense against them. At the point you fight Ahrim and Karil your prayer will be empty, so you should focus on an offense bonus until your prayer runs out. I found mage worked quite well on Karil, more so than ranged. It's been awhile since I've barrowed though, so I could be wrong.
