<sigh> I was having fun there.

#1 Post by Grompus »

Well I was going really well for a change on my berserker - thought i'd be good 1 more round at the stairs... apparently not.
Berserkers with dirty fighting are really great fun! the stun locks, with extra crits are just wonderful. Throw a mithril greatmaul into the mix and brains smash all over the shop (mine too in the end).

Heres the character dump - wish I could freakin save some times :P

Any suggestions for my next zerker? Am I doing something silly? This build seemed to work really well, just a poor moment of judgement cost me all. None of the bosses thus far lasted more than 3 hits...

The worst part? Avoidable, of course - thought from 500hp should be fine another round (while standing ON the stairs). Gods I wish I could have found a blood on this one - and not keep on finding em on Trollshaw 1 on throwaway chars.

It has been a while since I played a berserker, but I remember taking rush was quite useful at times. Orka looks like he went out with a bang, though, kudos!

Looked like a very good berserker, especially that stun resistance. I'm playing my first serious berserker now, and I'm constantly shivering without my shield wall security blanket :P

What level was Orka in when he fell?

He was 24, went into the dungeon at 20 so things were hitting pretty hard.

The stun resistance was great! The jewelery crafting makes a difference, just wish I had better armor. Should I have switched out that defense ring for something else?
I don't really understand the whole armor/defense/fatigue setup, especially fatigue - no idea what it effects.

Best damage I think I did was ~800 single hit, but that was pre level4 Deathblow so with that and full stam it would have been outta the park!

Ahh well, going to remake good ol Orka now and see how he goes round 276.

Oh what level was he in, oops, he was on The Master level - just zoned in, 3 rounds and dead without even seeing the master.

Fatigue affects how much stamina abilities will actually cost. The amount shown in the Use Talents menu is the base, and then you need to add the fatigue % to it if I remember correctly.

Yep, so like 20% fatigue would mean that your skills would cost 20% more stamina.

For some reason, I jumped to the conclusion that Orka was in the east. I think it was the lost knowledge quest, or maybe the damage output. (800?! I think I've been missing out, not playing berserkers...)

Another question while i'm at it and this is the spoilers.... ;)

o) Ancient Tome titled 'Gems and their uses'
Type: scroll / tome
Dropped by Rantha the Worm

What does that do? I had to go to the East to the jeweler, but didn't make it that far. Random drop or always on Rantha beta10?

Yeah, giving the book to a jeweller in the east starts a quest. It's not a guaranteed drop from Rantha; I found mine in a shop.
