Solo mage rex off-task

Is there anything I can do with this gear to improve my kills/hr?

 

The Ring of Life is sadly a necessity because this laptop tends to overheat easily, which locks up runescape. And even though I do have access to the 12min grave, I'm paranoid. Plus it's been a while since I solo maged rex, so I'm a mite insecure. I don't have access to Fremmy 4 boots or yak, so I know already I'm at a significant disadvantage. I don't have Soul Split, either. (It just gets worse and worse, I know...) The excalibur is the e3 one, so there's that, I guess.

 

I'm half doing this out of boredom and half for the money, since I seem to get lucky every now and then with zerker drops. If you guys have any other suggestions for half-boredom/half-money things to do, I'd love to hear 'em too I suppose. Thanks in advance.

 

EDIT: Just realized in my picture I have the Guthix Mace equipped. No idea why I did that. I have a Staff of Light, and I'd take that instead. My bad *facepalm*

that gear is fine, though I'd reccomend swapping the Dfs for a Blessed spirit sheild, but other than that, gear is fine, though you might want to bring a karils top and a crossbow to deal with prime, as soloing rex does get boring.

I've never considered a BSS before. Can you explain the reasoning behind that for me?

no negative offensive bonuses

Which would probably help me get more kills per hr than using a DFS to tank spinloyps...right, okay, that makes sense. Thank you for that, bit slow today :)

Actually, if you're just soloing and only killing Rex, there isn't really an issue of negative attack bonuses, is there? You don't need to range Prime, and Rex has such terrible magic defense that your penalty wouldn't be a problem.

In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

You need a Guthix god cape because charge isn't going to increase your max to 300 if you're not wearing it. Unless you're using surge in which case I recommend sol + bss + Verac's skirt for your prayer bonus.
