it depends, if you are a member, go with ranger, because there are weapons (dark bow, rune cbow, crystal bow) that could take down even the barrows brothers themselves. But, if you are non-members, go with magic. Most people on nonmembers in runescape DONT use green dhide, if they do, they use maple bows. WHich are terrible. Also, there are ancients. If you have done the desert treasure quest, you can use very powerful spells, such as ice barrage, which freezes your opponent and does heavy damage. But in the end, in my opinion, and breaks down like this: Ranged> normal spells Ranged< ancient spells Ranged= lunar spells (because of vengeance, which reflects all damage)
There are various methods, for all of them anti fire shield or super antifires are a must. For melee you need around 85 combat. You should pray deflect melee or soul split with leech attack and protect item if on curses, protect from melee, piety and protect item if on standard. Take an emergency teleport (better safe than sorry!) overload flasks (or extremes/supers) super antifire flasks, super restore flasks and sara brew flasks. (switch up how many you take till you find the right combination for your combat stats) Armour needed: neitiznot (slayer helm if you have a black dragon task) dragon/torags/bandos plate and legs, chaotic rapier/longsword/maul if you have, brackish blade if you don't chaotic kiteshield/arcane/good book *only with super antifire* if using normal antifire you'll need a dragonfire shield/anti dragon shield. dragon boots (steadfast if you can afford) barrows gloves (from rfd quest) fury/power ammy poison purge aura ring of wealth/life skill cape/ fire cape For range you need around 85 range and 70 defence. You should pray soul split(melee if it's close enough to melee you) and protect item if on curses, protect from melee, protect item if on standard. Take an emergency teleport (better safe than sorry!) overload flasks (or extreme/super range ) super antifire flasks, super restore flasks and sara brew flasks. (switch up how many you take till you find the right combination for your combat stats) Armour needed: arma/ neitiznot helm arma/black dhide body and chainskirt/chaps royal cbow/chaotic cbow/rune cbow eagle eye kiteshield/god book/anti dragon shield dragonbane bolts/rune bolts/broad bolts barrows gloves ranger/snakeskin boots range necklace avas device ring of wealth/life With either of these set ups just attack the dragon, topping up you're prayer, hp and anti fire when needed.
