Failed zerk?

[Civu]

Hi, I'm a zerker and didn't do between a rock (forgot) and defender of varrock (will never get the money for turm anyways, atleast i thought that) before getting 45 def, is this that bad or not a big problem? The only things i'm missing are handcannons which i dont find worth using and turmoil

 

just wondering what other people think about it

[LitterBug]

It's not a huge deal but if I were making a zerk (or some special character), I would make it perfect.

However, it looks like you already spent a good deal of time on it already - and I probably wouldn't want to restart if I were you.

 

Any chance you would make it into a normal main (maxed stats are the best for fighting anyhow)?

But anyhow, you are right - 95 prayer is especially expensive and many players who have played for years still haven't gotten.

If you really don't have the money (or plan on getting the money slowly) then just keep with the beserker.

I wouldn't do Between a Rock unless you're 100% sure that you'll use a hand cannon for PKing. And I'd advise at least 92(Half way to 99) firemaking to use it. Because even at 99 it'll blow up a lot.

 

And for Turmoil, only do Defender of Varrock if you're sure it's within your grasps. Meaning having at least 75% of the cash for it, with more cash as a fallback cushion so you're not broke after getting it.

 

With all that being said...

 

Looking at your stats, your Zerker isn't too far along unless you have some massive questing done that i don't know about(It looks like you might have the skilling stats to have gotten Barrows Gloves). So it's still possible for you to start a new one and get everything without going over 45 defense. I managed to level a Rune pure to stats like yours in less then two months.

 

But then again, you might not play nearly as much as i do. So taking the hit on your current account when it comes time might be a better choice.

 

Actually, i was faced with a similar problem as yours the other day. My Zerker was a prefect 45 defense, but i made him two years ago before Between a Rock became a useful quest, and before Defender of Varrock was even released. But a hand cannon and Turmoil are quickly becoming two realistic goals.

 

So i took the hit and quested to 50 defense. Realistically i could have finished Defender of Varrock and Between a rock and just have gotten 47 defense and not have level combat. But I'm superstitious about levels like that. So i took the extra combat level for 50 defense.

 

It's kinda nice actually. Having an extra 5 levels of defense under my belt, plus granite for better protection against the increasing amount of range tanks. And Battle robes + a SoL are great for bursting. So I'll save millions on leveling summoning.

 

So, basically you have a few choices here:

 

1. Start a new account, level and quest it to get everything at 45 defense.

2. Take the hit and get 46 or 47 defense(Depending if you do just one or both of the quests).

3. Level to 50 defense like i did. You'll get an extra combat level, but you'll also get granite and battle robes.

4. Stay 45 defense and just max out your Zerker as is without curses.

Option 4 :P then, maybe i can get a rapier in the far far future

 

I'm 121 qp and already quite close to barrows gloves, busy freeing amik varze and still have to do evil dave, i got all other reqs except for 175 qp.

 

Thanks for your advice :)

It probably won't be a big deal, from 45 defense, I think you get something like 48-50 defense if you decide down the road that you want to unlock curses, which isn't a HUGE deal, it'll probably bump you up a combat or two, but really that's only a big deal to perfectionists. Functionally, you'll probably be okay.

Get 49 Def?
