Interesting tidbit about rage...

<DIV>Its funny with zerkers, I used to spend all my time trying to get myself into rage, the more rage the better.  Used to be I could usually keep Three rage icons going.. after the nerf, they capped it at two...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ok then my goal was to keep two rage icons on at all times.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But I noticed something... </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I can Solo Green Double Arrow Up Green mobs without a problem... which is pretty good.  But I really notice, the mobs can't even hit me if I'm not raging.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>BUT...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If I rage once, they can hit me, but just barely, its still quite effective to be in a single rage...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>BUT NOW...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>when that nasty second rage Icon Appears.. WHOA IS ME... now I get the living crap kicked out of me.  I mean not just a little bit, but a good two bubbles worth of health done to me in the time it takes to drop one of those rages.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So word of warning, rage is not always your friend.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Erick</DIV>

<DIV>Well since rage is berserk....and the fglashing icons have always hinted at various forms of berserk...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Im thinking they did not remove the defensive penalty from all the various forms of berserk they have in the system....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Havent been playing much lately to say first hand, but heard taht they removed all defensive penalties from our class for going zerk...so Id say this needs to be pointed out to the devs to be looked at as it should have been removed as per their statements aas to why they pulled our defensive penalties.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>if your berserk your not exactly going to be parrying and defending your going to be so overcome by rage and battle-lust your gonna swing madly, wildly and feverishly at the enemy drawing blood, and either killing it brutally, or taking it down with you.. ;P</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>However i understand what your saying hehe <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Kinda irrataing :</DIV>

<DIV>No, thats not it, you take MORE DAMAGE.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When not raged, at all, i dont even get hit with the little greens.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>when single raged, I DO GET HIT, but for 20-40 points of damage...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>the 2nd rage, I immediatly start getting hit for 140-200 points of damage.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Erick</DIV>
