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 The Whisperer.
Mechanics
She fires three projectiles per attack, ranged up to 40 or magic up to 36, and the right prayer blocks them if it's on before they land.
After each attack four tentacles close on your tile for 20 damage and 20% sanity each. Dodge them with an L-shape: two tiles forward or back, then one to the side. If your sanity runs out you die within 10 ticks, so you have to teleport. In the shadow realm you lose 3% sanity and 3 prayer a tick. At 80%, 55% and 30% she uses corrupted seeds, a screech (hide behind the pillars) and soul siphon. At 0 health she heals 140, pulls you into the shadow realm and attacks every 2 ticks.
Which style: Magic, using her earth weakness. Earth Wave with a mystic smoke staff, or Earth Surge with the tome of earth. A fast ranged weapon for the souls.
