Monk vs Berserker

[Dale]

Since when is Haymaker an opening attack?

[Manual Labour]

Since always as far as I know.

I can not remember a time when you could not open with haymaker. 

My first character was a Berserker. Just saying.

I don’t think this log is enough to force a reroll. He got a clutch haymaker followed by a green dragon bash. That’s enough for a berserker to get the win on most classes.

I don’t know your EQ, but I’m sure with a better suit and some cabal ranks you can be formidable. The kick thing MIGHT be an oversight and could be fixed easily if The Staff agrees.

I want to see a log when you get T and are decked. Go dragon. Keep him tripped until chakra fires, then disarm and do Zoichan’s laugh emote.

I is the form at T you want, as a glad monk.  Boost chakera strikes.

It hasn't quite been always, but it has been that way for a long time.

I remember it was one of a number of changes Celerity and I proposed for berzerkers ages ago, along with getting a different message when you try to cleave a burnproof weapon. Previously you'd just keep failing and wouldn't know whether the weapon was burnproof or not.

He is good, still begging me to play again so he can play again though  

Where I'd probably play again if UC rolled something... I miss the rage from the other room when I'd give him the ole' killaro. We spent more time fighting each other then we did fighting everyone else. Even got in trouble for ooc killing him once just because I knew it was his character. 

 

I've been pondering coming back, but I still don't think it's the right time. I don't wanna rush it, because I know I'd dedicate way too much time again. I do browse the forums and love reading the PK logs for the nostalgia kick. 

 

My 2c after playing Agmeel though is that defense stance isn't that useful anymore when you know you're going into a fight. They gave offense stance second parry, so I'd always go dragon against a berserker for that weapon disarm and stay defense if I wasn't anticipating an attack. I didn't know they could be haymakered out of stance, but that should only happen once. Now you know, so just make sure to keep an eye on it and flee when needed. Let him fail the haymaker, then start your dirt, although just going for a disarm wouldn't be too bad since you know he's probably stacking the haymakers if you time it correctly.
