ya, just logged in myself and found them, the taunt seems nice, the other im not so sure of, depends if it stacks with standard berserk

[Khal]

<P>Vision of madness stacks with berserk and the hp loss barely even takes u down, even without self regens on.  </P> <P>Self buffed with vision of madness and berserkered, the damage rating on the prismatic is 84.5.</P> <P> </P> <P>Def a nice buff, but the only pattern im seeing is that every single offensive skill we get is group.  Nice utility, but really nothing self that just berserkers get.  </P>

I wouldn't be suprised if we do not get these 2 spells at 50.  Every class got 2-3 new ones today.  My guess is that these are the new T6 spells, given to the testers at 50 so they can test them out without having to do all the leveling.  Just a guess.

<DIV>Yea, Insolent Gibe is not bad as an extra AE taunt. It has another time line to recast. I think it's just an extra though I don't know how upgrade version works yet. </DIV>

<P>Well I for one feel a whole heck of a lot better about our regen CA with that group haste CA. Stick me in a group with some high damage melee and fire that and the regen off and your single-handedly responsible for how much increased raid dps?</P> <P>Anyone who raided high end EQ knows that when it comes to multiple group encounters the person that adds 4dps per person FAR outweighs someone who can add their own solo 120ish dps.</P> <P> </P> <P>The taunt is super tasty to if your playing the Offtank role, which I think we will be still after revamp and expansion. Nothing more annoying then having a whole group of unlinked targets swarm you and go apesh-i-te from firing your reactives and just switching off onto random healers. As much as I love target-switching and looking like a chicken with its head cut off, this will be a nice tool for keeping that environment under control.</P>

honestly i didnt even need my regen buffs up to countermand the hp loss from that buff.  I have one fortitude of the body item, which is 18 per tick on beta.

I absolutley love the AOE taunt, I couldnt beleive we didnt have one of these before combat changes. This is going to make offtanking so much more managable. The infinate duration dps and haste boost for the group seems  like a fabulous spell. If you hp regen is powerful enough to counteract it, its going to be lots of fun for dps fights. <div></div>

<div></div><div></div><div></div>Wow, that is a nice taunt.  I really hope we do get that and that it will be on a separate timer from Fearsome Shout.  That will be a huge help for us tanking zerkers and illiminate any jealousy we have of guardians for having 2 aoe taunts where we've always been stuck with just one.  Btw, I heard one of them say on the guardian forum that after the combat changes we zerkers weren't going to be the "aggro gods" that we've always been in the past, or something like that, as if it was a good thing (for them).  Well looks like he was wrong.  <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><p>Message Edited by infernus006 on <span class=date_text>08-22-2005</span> <span class=time_text>12:27 PM</span>

Its totally differant from stunning cry.  Its an out of encounter PBAE taunt.  I used it on Ts docks.  I pulled guards, crabs, fish, squids, all sorts of crap.

Ya, like unbridled fury, you have to pick your spots with it, but the advantages of having an out of encounter taunt are well worth it imo. 

[infernus006]

I agree, I want it!  I can see it being very usefual in certain cases.  Can't wait to play around with that.  <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>
