I think its funny how people will listen to one guy blab on based on theory....
just because the new spell description doesn't say everything that it does, you assume it doesnt do anything else.
for example, we all know if you buff in combat, it generates aggro.. mobs dont like whne you buff.. well guess what, go check those same buff description... nope nothing in the description about generating aggro.
before talking about how beserk doesnt reduce mitigation, all i ask is try my test.
take off all your rage type buffs, and go fight a double arrow up, green mob. watch what kind of damage your taking.. (you can do this solo too, so it really doesnt take that long)
then do the fight, and try to keep one rage icon blinking....
then do it one more time trying to keep two rage icons blinking.....
warning, if you keep two rage icons blinking, the green mob may kill you, so word of warning, but i think you'll find my point made immediatly...
dont just believe some shmuck on the boards here saying I'M USING A PARSER, you might be suprised, based on half his answers i'd say he's reading descriptions off the skills, and speculating, and NOT parsing.. because anyone who parses (not just logs combat, but parses based on.. this fight i did this, this fight i did this this fight i did this...) will be able to tell you, YOU DO TAKE MORE DAMAGE.
i'm done here, i'm not going to respond anymore, because were accomplishing nothing. I encourage everyone to try this themselves, my 5 minute test will confirm what i say, but dont just take somebodies word for it, try it yourself.
