How this is worked out
- Built in: what can reach the target (halberds only for melee on Kree'arra, Zulrah and other flying bosses; no melee where it can't land, like the Kraken), each boss's damage caps, reductions and immunities (Corp, Zulrah, Verzik, Olm, Tekton, the Duke and more), and the bonuses the target's type turns on (salve, slayer helmet on task, dragon, demon and other banes).
- Real gear only: items you can't take to the fight (PvP Arena, Nightmare Zone and minigame copies, League rewards) are never picked. When two pieces are within 0.2% DPS of each other, the sturdier one is shown.
- Your levels: only gear the levels above can wear is searched (Bandos needs 65 Defence, Torva 80), and each style prays the best prayer they allow: Piety needs 70 Prayer and 70 Defence, so a 1 Defence pure prays Ultimate Strength with Incredible Reflexes.
- One phase at a time: bosses with phases or forms (Zulrah, Vorkath, Hydra, Yama) are scored for the one picked above.
- Not in the DPS above: special attacks (listed separately under Special attacks), prayer switching and hitting several targets at once. This is the gear for your steady damage, not a full kill plan.

Greater demon gear setup: best in slot for every style
The highest-DPS setup against Greater demon (Level 92) in Old School RuneScape is melee, built around the Scythe of Vitur, at 16.528 damage per second - about 5 seconds a kill. That beats the best ranged setup by 9%. The tradeable pieces come to roughly 1.69b gp, plus untradeables. No thrall can be raised at the ones in the Chasm of Fire (Yama's domain aside): turn thralls off to plan for those. Some of these spawn in the Wilderness (by the Demonic Ruins and in the Lava Maze Dungeon), and there a charged Wilderness weapon (the Ursine chainmace, Webweaver bow, Accursed sceptre and their older versions) gets half again its accuracy and damage: turn the Wilderness toggle on to plan for those. Every slot is searched against the same combat engine the DPS calculator uses, at 99 stats with the buffs listed above. Drop your own levels in to see what actually changes.
Greater demon (Level 92) has 87 hitpoints, and its lowest defence bonus is magic (-10). Water spells from the standard spellbook get 40% more accuracy and damage against it.
