AK Mouths Off Yet Again

[Vash]

And Berserk reduces your defense to 0 and it drains my mana ball.

Sorry to further dilute the subject of this thread AK but I couldn't let that line go...

The reduction (or elimination) of your defense rating isn't really all that bad. You'd need a very high defense rating (and therefore a heavy investment in high def equipment) in order to truly reap the benefits of defense. Monsters have about a 70% to hit my berserk barb anyway, so it really doesn't matter if my defense is reduced to 0. As long as I have my 75% blocking, I'm doing fine.

Actually...it's not really the blocking that saves my buttocks...it's warcry. But that's a discussion for another time.

Sure Berserk drains my mana, but by the time that happens, everything's dead already. It just takes a few swipes of Concentrate (or one spin of a level 1 Whirlwind which, I've recently discovered, works MUCH better than Concentrate) to leech all that mana back.
