Other options by slot
The best magic pick for each slot and the next best options. Each percentage is the DPS you lose by swapping in just that item against Dagannoth Rex.
Mechanics
Rex is aggressive and only melees, up to 26 every 4 ticks.
Its melee defences are huge (+255) but its magic defence is very low, and earth spells do 35% extra. It's 3x3 and melee-only, so you can trap it on a ridge and safespot it. Poison, cannons and thralls all work.
Which style: Magic. Magic Dart, Iban Blast, powered staves and earth spells are popular.
