AK Mouths Off Yet Again

[IlleglWpns]

Word, TheDragoon. That's basically what puts Berserk over Vengeance almost every single time. Mana cost. Then put in speed. Then put in hit percentages. Then the huge amount of damage a barbarian does with maxed mastery (almost a given) combined with the huge damage and AR bonuses of berserk, all rolled up into the single nastiest magic attack in the game. "But why is it so important that it's magic, AK?"

Berserk has 0 speed advantage over vengeance. Berserk gets more AR%, but if you use conviction the paladin comes out ahead in this area too.

How many monsters in the game are resistant or immune to magic? You can count them on both hands, I guess, if you're stretching.

True

Now Vengeance uses fire, lightning and cold. How many monsters are resistant or immune to fire, lightning, or cold? OK, you've just kissed a good chunk of your damage goodbye. Hope you don't miss when you strike.

But it means you can use it reliably all the time. When combined with conviction there's no question of which skill does more damage.

Oh, and who cares if you can leech off Vengeance and not Berserk? It's not like you're going to use them on anything but physical immunes anyway, right?

Actually there people who use vengeance as a primary skill.
