Berserk

[Warcow]

Pretty sure I haven't asked this before..

Has anyone any experience with the berserk spell/skill?

For me, it seem to lower strength when I use it, along with the usual side-effects, ie. no hp bar, bungle..

Does anyone actually use it for anything, if so, how?

Thanks much.

The skill is broken.

However, the spell is still quite functional. In addition to the strength increase, Berserk also greatly increases your movement speed. I tend to use it when I need to haul a ton of loot.

thanks a lot for the info myke,

that's interesting... how much of a strength increase was it for you?

for me was -3 lol, think it depends on your fire magic level..

With 32 Fire Magic, I get roughly 15 points of Strength.

I read somewhere that Fire Magic increases the effectiveness of the spell, whilst Mind Magic increases the duration of the spell. Berserk doens't last very long, by the way - With four Mind, it will last maybe 90 seconds.

I can verify the strength changing with relevance to your fire magic.

I have tried berserking on a Naga and I have a supsicion that it might have been nerfed to stop them getting too powerful (like the speed spell & Nagas). I am not sure about this though so don't quote me. ^^

I haven't tried the spell. I might though, sounds like it would come in handy, being able to carry squat as a pixie.
