[color="#cc8899"]Just an idea I was toying with earlier -
Is it possible to zerk a boss that can 1hit you in your zerk range, but can't at full HP?
Prime example - Anego.
18k slap = impossible to Zerk and survive, but very survivable with a bit of blood-building/HP washing.
Is it possible to simply watch for attack animations and overpot before they hit, knocking you into your zerk range, and also leaving you invulnerable for a few seconds, or are you doomed the instant you see the animation? I guess what I'm really asking is "Does animation imply that you've already been hit, as it does for our attacks (if you don't believe me, watch someone Ult, then try to kill the monster before the damage shows up), or does it only calculate damage when you see the numbers? I know with most magic attacks, animation means you can't escape the hit, but I don't know how this applies to the damage itself.
If it is possible to watch for attack animations and then pot, it *should* be possible to zerk almost any boss if you are experienced enough to know their animations. I'll test this on Anego when I have 19k hp with HB, using Power Elixers. I'm pretty confident she won't do over 18.5k damage, so I should always be left with enough HP to attack a few times before potting again to repeat the process.[/COLOR]
