Kragg - Down and Out

[Enethier]

First zerker in a few years, decided to go for the lulz and do an ogre "book sayer" to prove that Herald Zerks can still be pretty deadly. Though nobody ever fought him to the death, except Repai (see below!), I did duel a lot of people for fun and did as much aggro as I could for a neutral Herald considering how unfair it would be to the pbase for me to have that EQ and have it be assumed that I was only there to write notes. All the EQ I gathered that I could sacrifice has been, so no waiting for it to come in.

Of my duels, Krip and Alderick get some massive props, and so does Bouldis. Krip, if memory serves we dueled twice and went 1:1? That second time you whipped me real good. Totally forgot you couldn't predict haymaker and avoided using it thinking it would land a dual counter. Live and learn, though, right? Would have loved to be a WM under you.

Alderick, you obliterated me even worse. So hard to fight an archer as deva path, even worse when I lose the roll. Was sad to see you go. It woulda been fun to have been in WM with you as well.

Bouldis, I fully expected to clean your clock in our fight, and was pleasantly surprised when you beat me. Congrats and maybe we can duel more an a later character.

Others...

Agege - Love your RP, and you did extremely well in our duel in Minoma considering at the time I was halfway fit in Adeptus. I was looking forward to dueling you again twice, once while I was in Herald and still decked to the teeth, but on more equal equipment footing, and second after the purge and "nerd god and hawtee elf gurl kick me out of Heralds". Maybe another time.

Lorshh - Also love your RP. Equal parts sophisticated revolutionist and impatient brute, pulled off masterfully. Also, you have a ton of potential and definitely make a case for anger zerks. Good luck!

Nazdreg - I told you not to watch duels between two zerkers! Or at least, if you do, group with the deva, not the anger Fun times getting to know you afterwards. Hope you get in soon.

Sylf - You're the best. If Kragg had a best friend, you'd be it. Always loved our get togethers. I wish I could have helped you as much as you helped me. Hands down the classiest and most well-played character in the game, when considering the "full picture" of PK and RP. That I've seen at least, guess it isn't fair to judge those I haven't spoken much with.

Morlach and Dilorry - Thank you for the opportunity to play an ogre zerk in Herald, and for pulling back on the reins where it was necessary. My next Herald will refrain from sidebar when sending out notes.

Special Mention

Repai.

Dude, if I would have known how that would turn out, I would have sat still and let you get the finishing blow off. I apologize profusely for it. I had asked the other to trade me a few dark reds/gyvels after the 4-5 i had out of the sack failed to cure blindness. I did not know that he would engage, nor did I ask him to. I certainly did not know that he was bringing a healer as well (they wanted me to come to Winter with them).

And for the death of yours at Winter... I know that what happened was entirely legal there (you attacked our group at that time, we did not initiate on you), but I still felt absolutely terrible for being a part of it. If anything, this event was the single greatest reason I am quitting this character (made the purge/cabal kick look fun and interesting by comparison). I hope that it did not sour your opinion of the game in any way, certainly not in a way that lasts.

Everyone else - Thanks for the otherwise great experience!

P.S. I definitely suggest new zerk players to try a Herald zerker at least once. Sounds dumb, I know, but it is so fun and you might be surprised at what you can pull off with a few of the good ones. If you want specifics, or even just to question my reasoning, PM me.

Sad to see fine lad go away.

The sight of seeing Kragg mudwrestle girls will be missed.

[Spark215]

I beat you both times there, buddy.

- Kripffip

ps. Loved this guy.

Can we see some fun logs of your Zerk?

[Enethier]

Oh, though I got you the first time, then you started iron arming my rib. its been a long time, guess i am recalling a diff blademaster, probably saldskay, for that other fight. Either way, both fights were fun.

mya, i''l look for any good ones. Honestly, most of them are pretty boring. I nerfed myself a bit in duels with a "no sanc" agreement. Also without cleaving. So without really a need for haymaker, headbutt (most fights were vs melee) or cleaves, you'd really just see what you can do with an ogre deva using only rage and berserk.

Fun fact, btw, When Kragg was in Herald, I could rage/berserk and get up to 2300 hp

Found a score sheet from re-equipping after the purge.

As a decked Herald, I sat somewhere around 50/60 hit/dam, -300 AC across the board, and similar saves, except I actually had decent aff saves

As much as I liked him, Kragg also made me revisit my opinion of the former Herald rare limit..

[Enethier]

Yeah... I tried to be aggressive as possible. He joined when there were a lot of new DKs looking for malforms on people not designed or wanting to PK. Those people would just run though when he came for them. All the best PKers were his friends. :\

There was one DK that consistently gave me problems and was very aggressive, but in the interest of not getting pulled up for intentional death, I ran the Marak Marathon for a while.

Next time I get geared like that, it will be in a volatile cabal.
