Runescape - Some questions about beating Nomad?

Ok, so I'm trying to earn a quest cape and Nomad is the only quest left.

What armor should I wear? I currently have Black Dragonhide but would it be worth the time to try and complete a Void ranger set or Elite Void set and use that instead?

What weapon would be best? Currently i'm trying with ruby (e) and occasionally using diamond (e) bolts. Should I stick with ruby as my main damage or switch entirely to diamond (e)?

Or is there a different strategy entirely that you think would work better?

I'm still low level, at least as far as Nomad stats are concerned.

Combat: 112

Atk/Str/Def: 82

Range: 84

Magic: 83

Prayer: 73

Summoning: 68

    They're right that void would be helpful. Your going to be using mostly prayer for your defense so the extra damage void does would be helpful. Elite would be even better. Use a gilded prayer book ( from the new quest ) as well. Use the ruby(e) bolts for most of the match but switch to the diamond(e) when he freezes you. That way you don't have to worry about the effect triggering right before his big blast & getting you killed. The diamond ( e ) effect will then make you more likely to hit once you switch back to the ruby after you've rehealed. Take a war tortoise & load him up with 4 dose Sardomin brews & super restores ( 4 bottles of brew to every restore , you'll be drinking them at about a rate of 4 brews to one restore ). For food take rocktails & baron sharks. You can use them to make sure you're over your max hp for the "Lets see how much you can take!" blast. When your frozen before it hits switch to your diamond (e) bolts & heal up.Eat a baron shark then a rocktail to max out your hp. After the blast the sharks bonus delayed HP will start you healing again. Get fully healed then switch back to ruby (e) bolts & continue the fight. When he throws out the mines move through the gap & away from them head toward the pillars & attack Nomad. You'll then be in good position to hide from the "You can't hide from me!" blast by ducking behind a pillar ( don't stay too long or the fight will reset ). Soon as it hits the pillar resume your attack until he teleports & freezes you for the "Lets see how much you can take!" blast. The process pretty much repeats all battle long. Don't forget to send your war tortoise after Nomad for some extra damage.

    P.S. completing the Seers elite diaries would be very helpful. Part of it's reward is an increased chance that your bolts special effects will trigger. Using curses instead of regular prayer would also be helpful. Drain his defense & deflect his regular attacks ( nothing stops his special ones ).

    Get void because defence doesnt really matter against nomad and it has lots of other uses.

    the main problem you have is low stats you should get 90 range before fighting him again.

    try and bring a spirit kyat for when ur BOB runs out then just spam ambush scrolls and it helps alot

    I personnaly take silverlight as a noob wepon. It possibly in simple terms works on the Demon in the Demon Slayer quest. Now could you prefer to apply a addy scim? nicely, in certainty first we want your attack point? i've got faith that's no longer extremely a competent theory for a demon? I maged it I had 40 mage on the time i did it so... yet i could individually use mage and stand in the back of a corner. provided which you have 30+ Mage. in case you dont then in simple terms use a addy scim and be sure you purchased some sturdy food. yet i could reccomend you getting 40 attack then melee the demon you wont hit any intense numbers with a addy scim have faith me i'm point eighty and that i do have a whip. however the time i did D slayer i grew to become into conserving drag weps so i think of it grew to become right into somewhat too ordinary for me. sturdy luck!

    i used rune cbow with ruby bolts and diamodns bolts when he's berzerker i think or maybe the other way around

    and i used a spirit terrorbird then dismissed that once i got to him so the food laid on the ground and summoned a spirit kyatt and used it spec scrolls that is really useful
