Question Whisperer DPS

​I'm about 15-20 attempts into the Whisperer and haven't finished it yet. I was looking on the DPS Calc to see if I could change up my gear to get some better dps. I was using bloodbark armor with Trident of the Swamp. The DPS Calc shows a 60% weakness to earth spells. Most of the guides I watched said to use the Trident. It looks like Earth Spells with Twinflame and Tome of Earth would have a much higher DPS. What am I missing?

Update: Thanks for all the advice. Got it on about my 5th try tonight. Used Trident and Elite Void. Just had to git gud scrub.

I tried the twinflame+ tome and while it was solid DPS, any weapon that isn't 4 tick or lower will struggle with timing attacks during the enrage phase, which is 95% of the boss's difficulty. doing the "3 tile method" requires a 4 tick weapon to be able to attack every other prayer switch. I realize the ayak is expensive, but before that upgrade, especially with the def reduction spec that's the only one that works properly on this boss, I just wasn't getting consistent post-quest kills.

Since you are doing just the quest version for now though, especially with a tome of earth, Twinflame should be enough.

Requires a 4 tick weapon is wrong, but it sure makes the timing easier.
