Doing calcs of fang vs bowfa on vorkath. Am I missing something? I expected fang to be much better. I guess it lets me use the antidragon shield. https://dps.osrs.wiki/?id=BreadcrumbsApricotAlive
#Fang vs bowfa on vorkath
loud raft

With gear like that you should be using slayer helm (i) + amulet of torture
It'll pull ahead of salve(ei) + regular neitiznot for sure
fixed the setup for you and yeah it pulls ahead
the higher your melee stats the more it will win by
(over bowfa)
more accurate too so less variance
desert birch
You would swap to rcb or pipe for woox walk, correct
neon pike
ah that makes sense

your main mistake is having the trash shield instead of dragon defender in your calcs
the torture isnt gonna make that huge of a difference

Just switching torture and slayer helmet doesn't give 91.9 ttk. Even with dragon defender it doesn't quite match. What else are you adding?
wait i forgot slayer task didn't i
no I didn't it's enabled by ddefault
primal mesa
The gear I used is the following:
- slayer helm (i) + amulet of torture
- fire cape
- BCP + tassets
- fang + dragon defender
- barrows gloves + dragon boots
- berserker ring (i)
Copied your stats, same atk + str potion, same Piety
Oh also I didn't include any BGS reductions but you should include that too. Around 25 I think
loud raft
Is dwh* good at vorkath?
primal mesa
Nah
I tried it out before I got BGS and it wasn't as good. It's like 10% worse or something on paper but in reality it felt a lot worse because it has a higher variance than BGS (which is much more accurate but drains less on average)
IIRC it's VW >= claws > BGS >> DWH
Where the VW claws BGS are all sorta similar for kill times but VW/claws do pull ahead by a little
loud raft
Current (hypothetical) alternative is just fang specs, I don't have another good spec weapon unless you count dds
primal mesa
Yea DDS won't land. Fang specs are OK, I'd take DWH over that
Send some Bandos off-task until BGS tbh
Will be nice and you'll want BGS anyway for ToB and ToA later on, might as well get it now!
loud raft
wait bandos has a task?
I did a bandos trip on a whim when I saw you first mention bgs.
You mean boss task.
primal mesa
wait bandos has a task?
Ah sorry just meant send it
Task exists from boss tasks but is rare
Was not thinking clearly cuz I just went there on-task recently lol my b

Nice!!!!
Honestly the item that helps more for Slayer since it gives a max on Arclight whereas torso is just the same as BCP
loud raft
true!
primal mesa
But yea BGS is a great all-around item def recommend camping, 508 kc ain't the worst and it's a lifetime item for sure
