Just a few questions:

 

 

 

1. Does the slayer helmet (black mask) actually help against Bork like I've heard?

 

 

 

2. Whenever I fight Bork, the mage seems to have a remarkably high magic attack. I wear full black d'hide during the fight and pray melee. I've got 73 def and 76 mage, but every time the mage casts a spell it hits through my armour. Is it worth using black d hide or should I just use full prossy and slap on some offensive boosts?

 

 

 

3. What speccing weapon should I bring? Excalibur seems a little pointless since the mage manages to hit through the defence boost (I tried Excally a few times. I don't have enhanced excally yet) and DDS specs never hit; Bork is immune to poison anyway. Would an ancient mace be better?

Just a few questions:

 

 

 

1. Does the slayer helmet (black mask) actually help against Bork like I've heard? #1 advice in Runescape. Don't listen to idiots. The only reason to use one would be because you're killing your bork because you're already in the tunnels doing a Slayer task.

 

 

 

2. Whenever I fight Bork, the mage seems to have a remarkably high magic attack. I wear full black d'hide during the fight and pray melee. I've got 73 def and 76 mage, but every time the mage casts a spell it hits through my armour. Is it worth using black d hide or should I just use full prossy and slap on some offensive boosts? I tried that, but I had better results with pro melee. Bork hits real hard.

 

 

3. What speccing weapon should I bring? Excalibur seems a little pointless since the mage manages to hit through the defence boost (I tried Excally a few times. I don't have enhanced excally yet) and DDS specs never hit; Bork is immune to poison anyway. Would an ancient mace be better? Ancient mace would never hit either. I know what you mean, the DDS really doesn't hit. Maybe D hally? I'm not so sure about this question. I'd assume D claws would be best.

 

 

 

Here's me doing Bork if it helps.

 

 

 

Thanks for the advice Kent.

 

 

 

Someone posted stats of them using an SGS on Bork with and without the blk mask. All other equipment was kept the same and a nezzy helm was used for the non-mask hits.

 

 

 

It appeared that he did in fact hit about 17% more often and about 19% harder. He used a relatively small sample (About 20 hits of each) so I'm not sure.

 

 

 

What I meant for the armour was if I should ditch my black dhide and just use prossy to prolong prayer. I'd still protect against melee, I'd just be able to add on chivalry or something like that.

 

 

 

Maybe I'll try the barrelchest for the spec. When I did a run today, I brought the ancient mace, but instead of hitting Bork I smacked one of the ork legions and got 8 pray : . It seems like the most viable option before I get enhanced excally or a GS.

Try ranging Bork with broad bolts. You'll kill him fast enough that you wont take too much damage from the magic attacks. Just pray protect from melee and use some range pots to boost your range and you should do fine. That's what I did and I killed him easily.

Use proselyte and piety if you can. Like you said, the mage will hit you anyway.

 

 

 

I use a dds and whip for quick killing. I use piety and protect from melee, and with 80 prayer I mostly have 20-40 prayer left.

20 hits is nowhere close to enough to even be considered evidence. :lol:

Personally I use void melee set, fury, d boots, god cloak, zerker ring and BGS.

 

Pray melee and peity with a sip of super set; the spec almost always hits which means you will rarely hit a 0 in the rest of the fight.

 

I always kill the mini's as they are, I believe, 100% charm droppers, and normally only use 1 dose of prayer pot (with a 40+ spec you never need the dose, but its nice to have just incase).

 

Only normally use about 3 monkfish.

Well I'm not quite as affluent as you guys and don't have a fury or a GS of any sort :roll:

 

 

 

Guess I'll stick to a nezzy helm or I might actually test out the black mask theory.
