There might not be one, which could be leading you to some difficulty.

 

 

 

The brothers' armour is pretty much the same as the possible drops from the chest: High melee and ranged defense and low magical defense (For the melee brothers at least)

 

 

 

Generally, people use magic against the melee brothers and then some melee against Ahrim and Verac.

Salamanders are your only hope, if not use veracs.

I suppose you could use some of the aviansie tanking gear but more oriented towards melee defence. Tweak it around until you like it, and use diamond bolts or better would be my suggestion, but it's not gonna be as effective as maging them.

 

 

 

Salamanders suck unless they got updated..?

The barrows brothers sets have some of the highest rang def in the game (next to Bandos). Why would it work well?

 

The actual barrow brothers that you fight do not have the bonuses of the armour. I use slayer dart on Karils every time, I think I've only hit 0's twice.

 

 

 

OT: Don't use range in barrows, it won't go so well. Only person worth ranging is Ahrim.

You can do it (there's 2 ways I know of), but its not really worth it.

 

One method is using the cannon on some of the brothers

 

The other using diamond bolts with the best range bonus possible, safing or praying the brothers.

 

 

 

I'm sure I've seen a guide somewhere give me a sec I'll see if I can find it.

 

EDIT Where the hell is the guide... it must have been lost in the roll back. In pretty sure the main one was to use diamond and void set, praying eagle eye and protect.

[hide=Drops]

  • Dragon Axe x11
    Berserker Ring x9
    Warrior Ring x8
    Seercull
    Dragon Med
    Dragon Boots x4 - all less then 30 kc
    Godsword Shard (bandos)
    Granite Maul x 3

Solo only - doesn't include barrows[/hide][hide=Stats]

Cannon is expensive as hell and will hit constant zeros.

 

 

 

I suppose ranging is possible. Doubt it's as fast as verac's and it's certainly not as fast as fire wave.

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

Yet people range bandos.

 

 

 

Edit: Just searched youtube and found this, theres probably a few others so look around.

Actually they DO have the bonuses of their armours, Karil gets hit constantly because he has ZERO magic level, and magic leve=MAGIC DEFENSE.
