ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

It's obvious to choose Bloodthirst and Superiority at levels 10 and 20... but what to choose at level 30?

Choices are:
- Warcries
- Field Control
- 0.10 mastery boost
- Dirty Fighting (??)

The extra trees seem quite useless to me. Field Control will give Track, a "Sense Monster" technique... but you need to invest in DEX/CUN, and it will eat generic talent points.

Any advice? Considering that a level 30 berserker has maxed STR and CON, the choice will also be to choose what stat to pump next... CUN for Field Control (and extra crits which is very nice), WIL for Antimagic (and extra stamina), or even DEX...

I personally am a huge proponent of Field Control for one single reason: Track. It is the single best detection ability in the game, and is far, far superior to Arcane Eye. Knowing what is coming at you increases survivability immeasurably, and all it takes is a single generic point. No need to really spend more than that to get excellent benefit.

I am never too sure about superiority, as its powers seemed vastly overshadowed by Bloodthirst, but to each his/her own. I prefer to keep that slot open for another rune/infusion.

Track is worth a category point IMHO. I wouldn't call it the best monster detection in the game -- I reserve that title for the Cursed's passive ability -- although to be fair, the Cursed's ability needs more than 1 point invested to beat Track.

Track also requires Disengage as a prereq if I recall correctly, which is a bonus mobility skill. It sounds useless to a Berserker -- why would you want to move away from a monster? -- but remember, you could move away from one to get closer to another.

Are you sure you don't need another infusion?

I would definitely go for an infusion. Generally, I'd say you should have 1-2 category points for infusions/runes if you can at all afford it.

The 4th category point will go to infusion/rune (it's nice to have 2 regens/1 wild permanently and an empty slot to swap phase door/invisibility/speed). For the 3rd, I chose Field Control for Track.

It's too bad that you can't actually swap...
