Bad911 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I want to finish this fight in one go. With the introduction of flasks, I assume it won't be very hard despite my horrid stats. Just gonna range it to death behind a pillar, wait out the clones, melee protect the end stage fight. Equipment:Void ranger helmElite void knight top Black d'hide topElite void knight robeVoid knight glovesSnakeskin bootsAva's accumulatorRune crossbowIlluminated Unholy Book DeflectorAmulet of rangingRing of Recoil Tokkul-ZoRuby bolts (e) qty. 500 Inventory:Spirit kyatt pouchAmbush scroll qty. 200Void melee helmBandos godsword borrowedRocktail qty. 1Ranging potion (4) qty. 1Super restore flask (6) qty. 10 Super restore flask (6) qty. 11Saradomin brew flask (6) qty. 12 Saradomin brew flask (6) qty. 14War tortoise inventory:Saradomin brew flask (6) qty. 18 Questions:What should I pray? I heard protection prayers don't really matter, but I see a lot of videos where they choose to use protection prayers. I'm thinking about using eagle eye, protect from magic, and steel skin. Should I bring something to melee him with for the end stage fight? I can replace the rocktail. Should I pray piety for the end stage fight? I assume it affects my kyatt's damage output. This sounds like a good idea if I was to bring a melee weapon. Should I bring a regular Restore potion for emergency healing? I'd have to recalculate my inventory spaces. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Avatar Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Switch the Ring of Recoil for an Archers or something similar as the Ring of Recoil doesn't work on Nomad. If you have access to curses Leech Defense works pretty well on him. I wouldn't recommend protection prayers until the melee portion of the fight as they don't really have any effect until then. I used melee against him with a zamorak spear for the last portion of the fight and it felt a lot easier than ranging him, but if you aren't confident in your melee skills stick to your ranged strategy. Also as far as I know Piety doesn't effect familiars damage output, but you might want to double check that as I'm not a summoning expert. In all, your set up seems pretty good. Good luck taking Nomad down. Previously known as Monkeybeast0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather stick with good ol' classic buffs.Why did you use a Zamorak spear? For the crush bonuses or the special? I do have a Saradomin Sword for crushing things. I was already thinking about getting some super set pots in my inventory already. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinPete112 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Make sure to pray Eagle Eye if your ranging, and might as well pray Protect since you will most likely be sipping Restores fast enough for it not to matter, but adjust if needed Sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply.Nomad is weak to stab, and the Zamorak Spear is a superb stabbing weapon, although if you have a chaotic rapier or cls they're obviously the superior choices. A super set is a good choice in any case, worth the lost brews imo. Previously known as Monkeybeast0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKoolKandy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 For the last form (when he melees), if you get low on food there's a good way to minimize damage. What you do is lure him over to a pillar and just try kiting, which is hitting himm stepping back, hitting, stepping back and so on. The only thing you need to be wary of is it you're back for too long, if you are he'll heal to full health, but if done correctly you'll only take 1 hit per round, rather than 3-4. It can work with range, but it's a lot more work. :thumbdown: If you already knew that then nevermind :P Slayer; it's just what I do.Thanks Hugger 88 for the awesome siggy!Click show if you want to see achievements.Achievments: Maxed/Comp'd 7th of August 2012. 120 Dungeoneering sometime early december 2011. 99 Slayer achieved October 22nd, 2010. 99 Prayer achieved September 99 18th 2010.

Quyneax Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Get a void deflector and black dragonhide top, don't bother with the void melee helmet or ranging potion or rocktail, and definitely use protect from melee on the berserker (final) stage, and eagle eye at all times.

Bad911 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Sorry, my computer died, so I was on hiatus for a while there.Get a void deflector and black dragonhide top, don't bother with the void melee helmet or ranging potion or rocktail, and definitely use protect from melee on the berserker (final) stage, and eagle eye at all times.I forgot all about the deflector and stuff.Why should I not bother about the Void melee elmet or ranging potion? Do you recommend meleeing at all? I brought the helmet so I could get a good Bandos godsword special in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 You can bgs special without the melee helmet. I do not think that the added damage on the bgs special (with helm) will help all that much, another Saradomin brew might (unless you use flasks). If you use a deflector you'll get a lot of ranged accuracy, but you'd need 2 item switches for bgs (void helm and top) + 1 space free since it's two-handed, costing you as much as 3 brews. Ranging potions will just get brewed down, not much use there.
