Could our GMs look at berserking out of stuns while dancing? In its current form this ability is completely worthless. It is possible to pull it off, but if you are in a higher level area, dancing dragon, your IF tanks out and you collapse stunned and fatigued within 1-2 seconds. Maybe there could be a minimum timer for this, regardless of IF? 10 seconds or so would be plenty.

Out of curiosity, which berserk were you using when you were breaking the stun?

I thoroughly disapprove of duels. I consider them unwise and I know they are dangerous. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.

Not only collapsing from dragon, but my 100th circle barb collapsed with full IF, not dancing, and berserked stone out of the stun caused by a moonie's MB. I've tried berserking out of stuns while dancing dragon, wolverine, panther, eagle, and badger, all with the same result that 1 to 2 seconds after berserking out of the stun, I collapse.

I did some tests in Dev and had very little issue. Using a copy of you, Juulmon, I was able to dance dragon, berserk stone and then stack berserk blood and still not fall over for about 2 minutes.

Dancing Dragon and berserking nightmare, however, did yield the result you're talking about. It absolutely zapped all IF, which is why you collapse. I'll play around in dev for a few more hours and monitor as well. At this point, however, I haven't seen anything that seems out of place.

To be honest dancing Dragon and then launching into Blood or Stone is kind of pointless. The reason for Nightmare is so that we can retreat and get out of combat. :(

I thought Nightmare was comparable to Stone or Blood as far as IF cost?

I remember when I first got it, it seemed far less harsh than Blood had at circle 2 and Stone at 5.

That makes two of us. I always thought nightmare had the lowest IF cost of any berserk

Hmmm. I'm running into issues more often now. I don't think this'll be a quick deal. It's going ot require some investigating. I'll keep digging and testing.

Aurdun,

Thank you for taking the time to test it out. I agree with Galren in that using a berserk that does not allow you to retreat defeats the purpose of berserking out of a dance. It is invariably only going to be used after sustaining a stun, and my first move is going to be to berserk, then to roar hiss, then race to an empath before I go belly up. Obviously the longer I can last out of a stun the better, but simply for an emergency purpose, it doesn't have to be a really long time, I think 10 seconds minimum would be great.

Thanks,

Juulmon
