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 General Graardor.
Mechanics
Graardor punches for up to 60 two thirds of the time, and otherwise slams the ground for 15 to 35 ranged damage.
His three bodyguards attack whoever last hit him: Grimspike ranged for 21, Steelwill magic for 15, Strongstack melee for 15. Pray melee if Graardor is on you and missiles if he isn't. Once he's dead, pray magic and kill Steelwill first.
Which style: Ranged. Done right you take no damage. Solo melee isn't recommended.
