The two dumbest Berserker skills...

[Ah]

Raging Strike and Promise of Violence. Now, in the description is states it increases Hate... so its like Taunting blow plus + chance to berserk + str buff for PoV. However, i hardly ever see this put me into a berserk state, and it doesn't seem to really increase hate... Any thoughts?

<DIV>I've gained agro with it a few times with another tank in the group as MT (not often the case), and I have been put into zerker state from it a few times...it's only a 10% chance though, so you can't expect to zerker all the time with it.</DIV>

wait till you have some wizzies using ice comet and you will see that they are both pretty useful... ive tested not using it vs using it not using it = occasional agro loseusing it = good agro control that is good enough reason for me

Nevertheless, those ARE 2 more taunts that, at lv 50, stack with bully and fearsome shout.When playing MT, you might wanna focus on generating hate more than do damage.

<DIV>I gotta say that Promise of Violence is very useful...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My best single target taunt: Mad Cry (Adept 1)</DIV> <DIV>-Interrupts my target</DIV> <DIV>-Increases hate by 379 to 463</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Promise of VIolence (Apprentice IV)</DIV> <DIV>-Inflicts 64 to 107 in melee damage</DIV> <DIV>-Increases hate by 421</DIV> <DIV>-Gives me a 10% chance to Berserk</DIV> <DIV>-Increases my Strength by 19</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Mana cost for Mad cry is 40, Promise is 50... I use both personally, but Promise seems more efficient to me.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I never really used Raging Strike, according to the base description, it sounds like you lose some attack power, but in the expanded stuff it doesn't show any sort of debuff to yourself.</DIV>

<DIV>raging strike generates hate, i can tell you that. It takes off non warrior class when I am not MT. I stopped using it in those instances.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Those 2 spells are some of the BEST spells/attacks we have.First, Raging strike FREAQUENTLY puts you into a zerk state, and both generate a good amount of HATE QUICKLY.When your playing MT, I actually use one of those inbetween my normal attacks while the wiz/warlocks go to town... I also use those + vanquish to pull mobs off the casters/healers when not playing the MT and the MT (grumble...Guardian) has lost agro control.You might wanna search on "Mainting Agro" and see what myself and other higher level zerkers do to HOLD agro (read: Not generate DPS)
