Guest emp_newb Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Deleted. I was very close to condeath, and I really just got tired of getting beaten by the same crap every time. Berserkers still have some bugs espescially regarding Panic. My first zerk in a long time, but I just cannot force myself to keep playing when I just get so frustrated over losing to the most basic tactics imaginable. Blind zerk, zerk heals blindness, zerk still is paniced. Then couple that with how rare gear is. Well it just makes it pretty impossible when I cannot scrape together saves. Sorry to disappoint anyone but cabal situation was getting crappy to, Argue with some members, get reprimanded by others. I will be playing another zerk, but not devastation until the panic thing is fixed because it has cost me several fights that I could have won if I had been able to get some sleep in. WAY too many people deserve props from me and so I do not forget anyone, Ill just say thanks to the pbase, from the lowbies who I randomly yelled at, to all the males I beat on, all of it.

Twinblades713 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks for beating me down, I'm actually beginning to learn. Give a monkey a typewriter and an infinite amount of time and he'll write the works of shakespeare. Lmathr, good char. ~Dinix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest emp_newb Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Well really man I wanted to test two things i have heard both here on forum and through AIM. 1. That zerks need tweaking. Which thee only thing I really noticed is the blindness/panic thing, other than that, you just HAVE to be smart. Knowing which skill to use at which time is CRUCIAL. I stumbled through the first bit of this char, then once I started grasping the class it became more apparent that zerks are really more effective warriors. You can play just as conservatively, except you have a few more choices to use than trip bash or disarm. 2. That gladiator is better than Barbarian. I will agree, glad skill set is easier to use. But ask anyone who fought me after I got my stuff straight, barb skill set is scarier, less predictable, and can dish out just stupid stupid amounts of damage. I will say that access to all the consumables, a skill set that is just as effective if not more so than Glad, I doubt I will be making any non barb warmasters for a long time. Now after playing this char I noticed that serious problems come from your damage output, so from strictly a pk standpoint it has to be neutral stone or mino. Vulns are a huge factor, because you get hit with a big chunk of damage, you can fly into an autorage, which can spell doom. Neutrals also can dish out more damage based strictly on the lack of protection from neutrals. And Lytholm took a HUGE risk by making me T so fast, and I cannot say I think I deserved more than that. I just had alot of fun with this char, tried to put out what I thought would be an outlook to slightly improve the war situation at pinn. I do not believe I ever full looted anyone ever, and I began to notice when I did die to players, I could walk back to at least a few pieces of gear after a while. So I think mission accomplished.

Pali Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Psh. You're just pissed that I've denied you anymore chances to beat me. Seriously, though, I liked Lmathr a lot. Good char. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE] Couldnt have said it better myself. Barbarians just take a more upkeep and a more strict learning curve but after that they are far superior to Gladiators.

dolgan Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Excelent character, a true barbarian warmaster. I realy liked her, but you are right about zerkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lytholm Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 A shame to see you go - good work on a good character. Too bad you didn't stay about until condeath. A few comments: 1) Barbs are not 'better' than Glads. They are two completely different types of playstyle. Glads are something unlike any other subcabal in the game. Depending on race/class you could find exceptional power peaks in either subcabal. 2) The biggest piece of advice I could give you is to get your weapon choice right. It is as critical for a zerk to have the right weapons as it is a warrior. 3) Panic is NOT bugged. 4) Making you Trusted was not a risk - it was something you deserved. If you're doing the right thing in the cabal you will always get to Trusted (in my cabals anyway). You did the right thing, you got promoted. Its just that simple. I'm impressed that you took a devastation fire zerk and went for it. Its a fun race/class combo but (as you found out) it does have some shortcomings. Remember Lmathr for the fun you had - the rest is just noise. Hope your next is a WM Lytholm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Really I have another idea I am wanting to try, something I believe will be superior to Lmathr in terms of my own ability. Also I could prolly dig through my logs, and I know Alesir saw it happen. I cured blindness and kept panic because devastation cannot relax regardless. If I am raged, which vs a cleric I found it safer than risk a calming, and they flee out while Im b lind, I cannot relax out of panic because of devastation.

Guest emp_newb Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 really I only put up slightly interesting logs, or logs that make alot of mistakes so others know what not to do. The vast majority of my logs use alot of cabal skills and are either me getting wrecked, or wrecking my target. Most of them where either through one particular skill barbs get at T, or through laglocks, and yes, I abused enlarged bodyslams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchaeius Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Also I could prolly dig through my logs, and I know Alesir saw it happen.

If I am raged, which vs a cleric I found it safer than risk a calming, and they flee out while Im b lind, I cannot relax out of panic because of devastation. Allow me to clarify this issue. Panic is not bugged. The way that it works is an intended feature. Allow me ot say it again - the way that panic works is as it was intended by Virigoth when it was coded (contingent on the premise that Virigoth was the one who coded panic - I cannot quite remember at this time). Blindness is not - and I repeat - blindness is NOT the sole deciding factor of whether you are relieved of your panic or not. Once the blindness is removed, you have a chance to come out of your panic based on certain factors. Wether this is fair or not is another topic of debate - one which the IMMstaff is actually debating right now - and one that you may feel free to add constructive input on as well.
