Hi guys!

I've heard a lot of mixed answers when it comes to magic attack bonus and the Barrows brothers. 1. It doesn't matter at all. 2. As long as it's over -65 you're fine. 3. As high as possible is the best. Personally, I think it's either option 1 or 2 because I did some testing with -35 and I didn't get noticeably slower kills than when I was using a setup with a high magic attack bonus, however, I'm not sure how low you can go. Anyone out there that knows how it works?

I personally use prayer gear (prossy) and I haven't noticed any slowdown compared to when I was using ahrims.

Their magic defence is so shitty that it doesn't matter what you wear, it'll be like using a flame thrower with your Charizard on a little Bulbasaur.

Why we gotta be hurting the little Bulbasaur?

You don't need any magic bonus, since their def is 0 for magic, except on ahrim. It's best to use tank gear to minimize damage when not praying and have a range switch for ahrim.

no need for it when they have no magic defense

according to rs wiki, karil has a higher mage bonus than ahrim but the rest has 0 or lower bonus

That is what I have been using, thanks for confirming.
