Instead of greater berserk, add 3 different paths to upgrading berserk.

This means that if someone wants to change paths, they will just fork over the gp to sidegrade to another berserk.

There will be 3 kinds of berserk.

Option 1 - Werewolf Berserk
Keeps the defense debuff but adds a bit more dmg output

Option 2 - Wereboar Berserk
Removes or lowers the defense debuff

Option 3 - Wererat Berserk
Enhances bleeds during the zerk but lowers non bleed dmg output compared to basic zerk

Animation wise, you change into the wereform kind of like metamorphosis from magic. Attacks are overwritten with claw attacks and maybe bite/tusk animations. Ending zerk goes back to your normal cosmetic overrides.


Release this with some revamped canifis update or with a new questline. Maybe lock it behind slayer instead of a boss.



If thia is a great idea, give me some bonds or hire me as a remote worker. Thanks.

As an alternative to just another codex drop,

One could lock wereboar form in the most difficult grandmaster quest which gives you the option to fight the final encounter on easy mode with no wereboar unlock until you go back and fight it with its intended mechanics.


From there, players can keep this form. If they want to change it to wolf or rat, they have to earn some kind of maintenance currency token that is togglable.

Maybe the repeatable quest boss on hardmode allows you to earn amounts of transformations. Maybe there will be two different forms of the boss to earn either the rat or wolf transforms.


Players have the option to also sell these wolf and rat transforms on the GE. But to use them, you must have boar form unlocked.


Finally, this quest boss should only be doable in melee combat.

Faq

Wouldnt non melee users complain?

No. They arent using melee anyways so they could just do the easy mode quest for questpoints and not care about greater berserk.

How could the boss be difficult?
How about in hard mode, it can only be damaged when in berserk. So you pretty much have to endure until you proc your zerks. This will also place a demand on vestments in the economy which supports those who hunt Zamorak.

Still too easy?
Well then someone at Jagex can designed addition reqs including being in berserk to damage this boss. Maybe drag them into some silver beam or something. Get someone to read up lore on lycanthropy and add it to the boss mechanics.

Wouldnt wereboar form negate the risks to doing this boss?
Ok, how about in addition to forced melee, your berserk is only allowed in base form against this boss.

Vision of the boss?
It should feel like a battle and test of strength between two zerkers and well timed all-in tactics.

Wolfbane?
I guess use it as a brief switch... so the boss can be like a really amped of version of a tormented demon battle.

But I want to be a vampire?
Perhaps vampirism shouldnt be tied to berserk. It should be like ancient magics and curses. A setting. Which has its pros and cons. Some pros can be additional healing during zerk or more faster passive healing. Downsides? I dont know. I'm going off topic here. Debuffs in sunlight areas and holy areas?
