Monster Hunt OOC

*sigh* It's not my fault berserkers are supposed to be crappy against evasive enemies. At least, it's a berserker weakness that actually makes sense, unlike their inability to handle mobs, despite the second line of the class description saying mob slaying was what berserkers were all about. >_>

Are you kidding?

A lancer does whirlwind against, let's say 3 targets. He hits all three for moderate damage.
A berserker does a normal attack against 1 of 3 targets. He kills it dead with heavy damage.
When the round is over, there's 3 enemies to hurt the lancer and only 2 to hurt the 'zerker.

I'd much rather KO one enemy than wound 3 or 4 or however many, even if the total damage is greater.

In this manner, A berserker is much better at attacking multiple enemies than Lancers or Monks with Spinfist.

Berserker's get the best PA growth (and can raise it by +4 in a skirmish with abilities alone) and get some amazing defensive abilities (Equilibrium, anyone? It's like a low-powered version of equipping a Ribbon.)

The reason I like Berserker so much is that it can combo with other classes in such magnificent ways.

You took Knight as a secondary. Versatility. Thick Skin. You couldn't possibly have anything to complain about when you have as much HP as a Knight and you outdamage him.

Hell, there's also Disciplined. With so much HP, as noted above, you can survive a little while in critical HP status. Put on Rush and get somebody to buff you without healing you, and you can string up a Disciplined/Rush combo for as much as +9 PA if you last 5 rounds in critical status and land 2 hits.

The Berserker is just fine as it is. A solid class on its' own, but combined with others it's actually quite powerful.

If P-Evade is such a problem, buy accessories or other items that increase your accuracy. It's not like Berserker's get a penalty to accuracy or any other class gets bonuses.

Also, don't forget Peaceful Fury. Able to stack frenzy bonuses with Knight attacks? Umm.. Yes, please!

Now I want to see a ranged berserker combo... Zerker/Archer/Rune Knight with Equip Crossbow and Bow/Blade Combo. Might be weird in a fluffy sort of way, but mechanically it would be interesting...

In short, don't knock on the Berserker. It's one of the stronger classes out there, even before you hit level 10...

Wow, the Legion battle is quickly becoming a lot more interesting (and hectic) than I thought it would. I shall weep for your sanity, Ryven.

Good job showing people that Time Magic is more than temporal spells and Meteor, Discordia. I didn't notice that it was vulnerable to Don't Move and gravity.

I never realized that Ancestral Blade isn't a standard draining attack that doesn't care about Undead status. That's neat....

Last, but not least, I find it kind of funny that the resident Berserker is doing so much damage without having used Berserk yet, mostly due to the user name and the type of enemies in this battle though.

Gogo LMH!

I think we are doing okay. Things to do:
1. Keep the Legion from rotating! Talicen can fire a Don't Move at the core hex.
2. Start getting some damage in on the Core. Joseph can move up and Tide the two weak sections. (Will AoE kill off the skeletons for good?)
3. Get Dregar adjacent to the Legion, preferably between sections 1 and 6. Probably the best way is to melee through (Whirlwind strike and etc).

When a second Legion section opens up, Doireann can Berserk and go at the Core. Vanden and Talicen can play crowd control. Make sure to avoid having two party members hit by that crazy ray attack.

Feast your ideas on that, temporal side of Time Magic! The spatial side totally dominated in that LMH! In your face, Haste!

....

Ahem. I mean, congratulations, you guys. Nice to see Legion can still be ROFLstomped by non-vampires.

(Also, does Vanden have the most KOs for being KO'd or KOing enemies? Both?)
