Fighting Nomad in Nomad's Requiem Quest. It was a bit easier than what I thought.
This was my first real attempt. Did a few tests before.

----- Tips if you want to kill Nomad -----
--- About Nomad ---
Nomad isn't easy to kill (at least for lower levels). Deflect/protection prayers doesn't work against him. He will heal himself from 1/4 hp to 1/2 hp two times. He use 5 different attacks:
* His first attack is a normal magic attack. I'm not sure but I don't think magic defence armour helps against this attack. This attack will always reach you, even if you are in a corner of the room and can't see Nomad. This attack is almost as effective as Kalphite Queen's magic attack.
* Nomad will throw out mines before he does his second attack. This attack always hits 75 on yout (elysian and divine spirit shields remove some of the damage). It take a few seconds for him to charge the attack so you can run behind a pillar (make sure to not step on the mines) to avoid getting hit.
* Nomad will teleport himself and 3 other Nomads around you. They can all attack you at the same time. You will have to attack them until you find the right Nomad.
* Nomad will teleport you a few steps away from him and then Ice Barrage you and you will freeze and can't move for 20 seconds. Nomad will charge his attack for 15-20 seconds. Make sure to eat up to your maximum hitpoints or higher. This attack always hit 1 less than your hitpoints level (elysian and divine spirit shields remove some damage).
* His last attack is much like the Saradomin GodWars boss melee attack. Fast and quite accurate hits. Protection/deflect prayers do not work against this attack. He will only use this attack when he has 1/4 hp left.

You should melee him except if your ranged level is quite alot higher than your attack/strength level. Your defence level doesn't matter except in the end so you should focus on getting high strength and attack bonus and bring high melee defence bonus to use when he use his fast melee attack.
--- Inventory ---
I strongly suggest you to use saradomin brews and super restores as food as they're alot better than any other food. Using overload with this is a very good idea if you have the level to make it..
A good idea is to bring a statius warhammer (if you want to waste a few millions) or bandos godsword for special attack to lower his defence. Other special attack weapons would probably be a waste. Taking 1 extra brew is better.
You can bring a ranged weapon if you want to attack him when he freezes you.
