A guide to when to spec, eat and all that? I can tell you that :c
Vengeance
Always prevenge before every fight, and let the timer run out so you can use it again whenever you need to.
About the timings on vengeance: Never spam vengeance, it's a waste. You should only use it when you have a chance to take down your opponent with it.
Times to use vengeance:
- When your opponent is low health and you have a special attack prepared (Not recommended, but it can sometimes work)
- When your opponent brings out their special attack weapon. Use vengeance, and give your opponent your own special attack for the knockout. The usage of vengeance here accounts for many kills in fights.
*You can choose to unequip armor when your opponent brings out their special attack weapon, to purposely allow them to hit higher on your vengeance, and rebound more damage. This is risky, but it can be rewarding.*
Special Attacks
On a zerker, you have access to many special attack weapons, because of the attack levels. Based upon your attack level, choose different weapons.
For those with 60 attack:
- Dragon Longsword. This thing can hit very high, and only costs one fourth of your energy.
- Dragon Mace. This weapon is similar to the Longsword, but can hit higher at the cost of some accuracy.
- Dragon Dagger p(++). This dagger can hit very high at a very low cost. Probably the best choice for low risk fights, plus it has poison.
- Dragon Claws. These are by far the best choice for zerkers who don't mind risking. They can hit incredibly high and have great accuracy to boot.
- Barrelchest Anchor. This weapon can hit with decimating amounts of damage for its cost, almost as high as an Armadyl Godsword, but it lacks accuracy, so use at your own risk.
For those with 75 attack:
*All of the above weapons are available as choices as well, but these weapons are exclusively available for accounts with 75 attack or higher*
-Bandos Godsword. Can hit very high, and lowers defence levels based on what you hit, forcing the opponent to drink restores or combat Potions.
- Zamorak Godsword. Can also hit pretty high, and freezes your opponent in place.
-Saradomin Godsword. Can hit high as well, but has a high cost. If you use this in a fight, you will probably be accused of safing, since the special attack heals you.
- Armadyl Godsword. This weapon can hit very high, and is accurate as well. The biggest downside is again, it's high cost.
Special Attack use:
- Try not to use your special attacks when your opponent has vengeance activated. This could result in you taking a large amount of recoil damage and possibly dying.
- Use your special attacks when your opponent does not have vengeance active, and when they are at low health. This can result in a kill.
Eating
- Eat food when you are low hp. There's not much else to it. If you are at low health, you are risk of dying, so keep your health above 45, and watch it carefully.
Prayer management
- Never allow your prayer to drop below 15. You can be smited easily by a high special attack hit, and possibly lose your knockout weapon, which can cost a lot.
-Drink prayer Potions or super restores when you dip low in prayer, to prevent being smited. Try to keep on your strength, attack, and defence buffs, protect item, and smite at all times to help you defeat your opponent.
