I mean, a Paladin can usually only take out two or so physical immunes without having to find a non-physical immune to leech from or use a potion while a Barbarian can go through an entire crowd without having to replenish his mana.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?"
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.
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.
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?
