Contents

Methods

  • On entering, Gnomonkey sips overload (hits for 50 HP), drinks absorption to 200 and no higher, reduces health to 1, turns on Piety, auto-retaliate and the interval timer, and sits on the sides to reduce being hit by multiple enemies.1

Stats and numbers

  • Most equipment sets' DPS scale only with Strength and Attack, but Dharok's also scales heavily with Hitpoints level, each level being about a 1% DPS increase.2
  • Having maxed combat with 70 Hitpoints versus maxed combat with 99 Hitpoints is a 35% DPS difference with Dharok's.2
  • With high melee stats and Hitpoints or maxed combat, a whip setup gives about 20% less DPS than Dharok's, and a Ghrazi rapier with best-in-slot melee gear is still about 5% worse than Dharok's.3
  • The only setup that beats Dharok's DPS-wise is a charged scythe at about 10% more DPS; an uncharged scythe is still worse.3
  • In Leagues 5, the Gloves of the Damned double the effect of Dharok's set, which Gnomonkey used for the 1 HP Dharok bomb on Echo Sol.4
  • The maximum Dharok's hit without echoes is 147, and he hit a 183 at one point which he joked is the worst because he can do too much damage and kill things early.5

Tips

  • Gnomonkey assumes basic gear: Dharok's, a blessing, an imbued Berserker ring and a fire cape; an amulet of torture gives 2% more DPS than a fury, Ferocious gloves 2% more than Barrows gloves, and Primordial boots a fraction of a percent (Dragon boots are acceptable).6
  • Gnomonkey's spec weapon is dragon claws, which he bought with 50 mil he had around and says are just slightly better than a granite maul with a handle; a granite maul is totally fine.7
  • With Dragon Slayer II completed, a locator orb is the most efficient way to damage yourself outside the Wilderness, hitting for 10 each click, unlike the dwarven rock cake whose damage scales down as health lowers; neither can kill you.7
  • Inventory is 12 doses of overload, 24 doses of absorption, a holy wrench and the rest prayer potions; Gnomonkey says this is the perfect ratio to last one hour.8
  • Gnomonkey brings extra absorptions in case the overload runs out and he gets hit hard, and has run out of absorptions before prayer potions; more locator orbs can be obtained from Ava at Draynor Manor.8

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Because of how slowly the axe swings, with base 70 combat stats a Proselyte-and-whip setup gives better DPS than Dharok's; Dharok's begins to beat a whip setup at about 85 base combat stats and Hitpoints.2
  • Gnomonkey says that for the 99.99% of players who cannot spend 1.4 million an hour on a scythe at NMZ, Dharok's is probably going to stay the best method.9
  • The only downside of Dharok's is that it is less AFK than a Proselyte whip setup, but it gives significantly better XP an hour and costs much less over time because the player does not pray Protect from Melee.9

Events

  • After this Echo Sol kill Gnomonkey says he plans to try Dharok bombing all of Theatre of Blood.4
