Talk:Berserker
Can someone pls tell blovski the following, as I can't be part of the discussion:
- Pointing people towards Apheelsick with Bersekeres is very important. One of the few things I actually learned from the wiki (not just about berserkers but in general).
- Elf Berserker's very playable Vicious even without Mystera. Berserkers' spellcasting penalty is much more problematic when you're limited to 13 mana without shennanigans, Elf isn't. Elf converts 3 things you're got 2 Fireballs, 4 pops and you've got Cydstepp + Getindare, etc. It's a very low-ulock way of getting a very well rounded Berserker. Also one of the if not THE best examples of what Elves generally do for any character which is add spellcasting capabilities and open up opportuinities.
- Goblin berserker isn't sub-par at all. If a class is already inclined to worship GG and good with GG, it's always gonna work with Goblins. Also, Berserker has an easy time fighting magic damage monsters, but finding proper targets can be a pain. Goblins can easily skip situations where there's not a good target at your current level, but there is one if you ding once, and they don't have to sacrifice popcorn (or exploration looking for targets). Berserker has 50% damage resistance and +20% damage (+1 per level), he actually likes levels as they make both abilties stronger, he just doesn't want lvl 10. Since Goblins have a very easy time getting Enlightment, they can also easily become a spellcasting Berserker. Another thing is that absolving a bunch of things early takes a lot of exploration for regening a large health pool (especially if you also go humility right away, and after a hard fight), goblins are kings of efficiently refilling lerge bars after a tough fight that didn't level you up. They're kinda brutal if someone points to them correctly.
- Gnome Berserker is sub-par, but is so sub-par that you need to jot down how you need to play him as there's not that many ways to do it effectively and it's likely the berserker people would need help with the most. GG, JJ, finding uses for mana potions via Trisword or Alch Scroll or preping Elven Boots for full magic resist with some spellcasting capability right off the bat is usually good.
- Human Berserker just has to be played differently. Again, both bersekers abilities are good for efficient leveling and get stronger with levels, Human just adds a proper "reward" for using his skills to level up and converting glyphs for boons.
- Dwarves also work in much the same way, Berserker has a somwhat easy time leveling, and then you have a highly DMG resistant guy with a lot of health, all you need is refills. Drac + Dragonshield and you're a complete monster.
You can add advice for any race with just a few sentences. And probably should, that's what people can use pointers on.
