I want to try Barrowing again but I don't remember what I need
and how I should go about an actual run so...
Info for you:
Maxed Melee + 77 Range and 93 Magic
Well stocked pots, foods, and runes supplies
Full Guthans + Whip + Rune Defender + Dragon []Shield
I want to know:
In what order would you recommend fighting the brothers?
What combat styles would you recommend using for each brother?
What armor should I wear?
What should my invo look like?
P.S.
Don't tell me to go buy a fury or some other random expensive
item that I'll probably never use again.

Its been a while since i have done barrows so correct me if i am wrong with anything.
There are a few ways to gear yourself but i think this one would work out. Items might have changed and been added so i am staying kind of generic.
You will need a spade, Guthans armor with a whip and defender, dragon dagger, black dragonhide gear, some sort of good bow with good arrows, 2-3 full prayer potions, teleport to house tablets (need a portal to Canifis) and the rest food. You could also bring the slayer staff, mind runes, and death runes for killing Dhaorks with magic dart. With such high melee stats you might be able to get away with using a whip on all of them. You could bring full Guthans for healing off of Guthan, Torag, or skeletons, worms, etc.
If i remember right there a few different ways to do it:
Start on dharoks(north east) and keep melee protection up the entire time. Melee or slayer dart him down.
Move onto karil(bottom middle) and put ranged protection, use dragon dagger specials on him to try to take him down fast.
Go to Ahrim(middle), switch to dragon hide and take him down with either ranged or melee.
Go to Verac(north west) and melee him down.
Go to Torags(south west) and melee him down.
Go to Guthans(south east) and melee him down.
In the tunnels you want around 15 kills for extra runes and bolt racks, i am not really sure if this works but it doesn't take up very much time.
I had used a technique that i learned from Silv(i think) but its pretty complex and way more dangerous to use, i could post a guide if you are interested in trying it.

Thanks guys. Bone, yours sounds most familiar.
Why is slayer dart so effective against these guys? o.O

Their magic def is so poor that even a negative magic bonus pwns them.
Edit: I just use Verac's + dds
Always start with Dharok or he'll pwn you
If you're using the slayer dart method, try getting a staff of light to save runes and the 15% damage boost.

Cocoa, I have a staff of light I can lend you if you want to barrow with one. Or if you want to borrow an amulet of fury, I have one of those too. Strange, with my non-combativeness, I have such implements of war.
I always thought it was because they were undead that slayer dart worked so well. O-o; Or maybe I'm thinking of the "crumble undead" spell... Wonder if anyone's tried that against those guys.

Adding on to my picture, this is what I do:
Kill Dharok with melee prayer and slayer dart
Kill Karil with DDS specs and range prayer, finish up with whip if you don't kill.
Kill Torag, Verac, and Guthan in any order, pray until I run out of it, then drink super def potion.
Kill Ahrim with range.
As for tunnels...
If it's a Dharok Tunnel, I go through and once I find him, drink a prayer potion. It's the only time I drink a prayer potion dose while doing barrows, btw. Karil is the worst imo unless you slam DDS Spec in his face like boo-yah, b***h! Else the others are extremely easy mad
Kill 5 extra monsters from the brothers (11 kills total)
Voila.
Enjoy razz
Aaaaand... I read somewhere that, yes, the barrows brothers (except Ahrim and Karil) have such low magic defences that even wearing a shitload of melee armour will still let you hit them instead of splashing. I don't remember why Slayer Dart is so useful, I just know it is. Serves me well enough razz

This guide i found explains the way i used to do it. Really i think this method is a lot more fun. Only differences are that i wouldnt take Guthans(i only brought magic/ranged gear), no attack/str pots, black d hide, magic short bow, dragon dagger and ice burst(magic level was too low but its also cheaper) and i would go Ahrim second to use left over prayer on him then go dharok. Doing this also allows you do to multiple runs through the place in one trip(run out of the tunnels and start over) since you have less dependence on prayer. The guthans however lets you stay and do even more runs in one trip.
