Currently there are certain barrows weapons that are never used, and I think the solution here is simple.
The attack speed of Verac's Flail and Torag's Hammers should be increased to 4 ticks, bringing them closer in-line with existing level 70 weapons. This would still leave them at 10 lower strength bonus than an abyssal whip, and even more more considering you can use a Str bonus offhand with the whip.
I'd also consider increasing the strength bonus on those weapons, but I think it's okay that they are lower than the whip, given the utility of the set effects.
Guthan's Warspear might also deserve an attack speed buff, to be consistent with other spears, but I acknowledge that the Guthan's set effect is good enough that it doesn't necessarily
need
a buff. An attack speed increase would still leave the warspear significantly behind the abyssal whip, but if a flat speed increase seems too much, maybe lower the strength bonus a bit too.
