dazeldo Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) 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? Edited February 16, 2018 by dazeldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGamerBlue Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I personally use prayer gear (prossy) and I haven't noticed any slowdown compared to when I was using ahrims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBron Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why we gotta be hurting the little Bulbasaur? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best to use tank gear to minimize damage when not praying and have a range switch for ahrim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
