Today I went back to Kalphite Queen for the final time to test the most efficient way to kill the boss for the most kills per hour(Could use ely and volatile nightmare staff spec or alt for more kills). I got a comment suggestion to test the Keris Partisan of breaching on both phases but the dps wasn't too good on the 2nd phase(Flying phase) so I instead made this video.
After putting some weapons into a dps calculator I found the Tumeken's Shadow to have both nearly bis dps on KQ's first phase and the best dps(without bp/bowfa switch) on the 2nd phase. What makes the Shadow only method viable is that you don't need any gear switches to get near bis dps on both phases. This makes it so that you can have 4-8 extra slots in your inventory for food to make a trip longer instead of gear.
If you use the POH tele method after each kill KQ spawns and you spend about 15-30 seconds with KQ already spawned in the map actually running to the boss. This makes the POH method with the shadow less dps than actually waiting for the boss to spawn. With a Dragon Warhammer spec you can probably kill the boss faster each time with scythe and shadow but that means kills would need to be 15+ seconds off of the dwh spec alone.
Below are dps calculators for different weapons and some comparisons.
(Scythe and Keris Partisan of Breaching are all on Crush attack style with no dwh specs)
