Really? I've killed them really finely with Guthan's Plate, Verac's Skirt, Rune Kite, Whip etc. Ö.Ö Yeah, rune kite -> inefficient etc :P I wouldn't recommend tanking until you have at least extreme def pots, with those and soul split you can basically tank any task but it's obviously not an option for you. I'd recommend safespot ranging them in the chaos tunnels or taverly, it's pretty slow though. You really might want to consider making some money and just melee'ing with melee pray.
