Berserk Volcano 01/17/2013 11:03 PM CST
This berserk still doesn't seem to be working properly. Much much too strong/OP. I used it at 7% vitality and it boosted me to about 63% vitality, then I stanced down to 1% evasion and shield, took off my armor, and Firekast + Gort couldn't kill me for like 5 minutes until my berserk ended. Gort kept attacking and so did Firekast.

It wasn't pulsing and keeping me alive, it just kept reducing the killing blows to grazing/light hits that didn't do anything. Here's a look at me before my berserk ended:

Vinjince's injuries include...
Wounds to the HEAD:
Fresh External: cuts and bruises about the head -- more than minor
Fresh Internal: a bruised head -- more than minor
Wounds to the NECK:
Fresh External: deep cuts across the neck -- harmful
Fresh Internal: a severely swollen and deeply bruised neck -- harmful
Wounds to the RIGHT ARM:
Fresh External: an ugly stump for a right arm -- useless
Fresh Internal: a severely swollen and shattered right arm which appears completely useless -- useless
Wounds to the LEFT ARM:
Fresh External: a broken left arm with gaping holes -- severe
Fresh Internal: a severely swollen and deeply bruised left arm -- very damaging
Wounds to the RIGHT LEG:
Fresh External: an ugly stump for a right leg -- useless
Fresh Internal: a severely swollen and shattered right leg which appears completely useless -- useless
Wounds to the LEFT LEG:
Fresh External: an ugly stump for a left leg -- useless
Fresh Internal: a severely swollen and shattered left leg which appears completely useless -- useless
Wounds to the RIGHT HAND:
Fresh External: an ugly stump for a right hand -- useless
Fresh Internal: a severely swollen and shattered right hand which appears completely useless -- useless
Wounds to the CHEST:
Fresh External: deep slashes across the chest area -- damaging
Fresh Internal: severely swollen and bruised chest area -- damaging
Wounds to the ABDOMEN:
Fresh External: deep slashes across the abdomen -- very damaging
Fresh Internal: severely swollen and bruised abdomen -- very damaging
Wounds to the BACK:
Fresh External: gaping holes in the back -- very severe
Fresh Internal: a severely swollen and deeply bruised back with odd protrusions under the skin -- very severe
Wounds to the RIGHT EYE:
Fresh External: a pulpy cavity for a right eye -- useless
Fresh Internal: a severely swollen, bruised and blind right eye -- useless

You also sense...
... a light haralun throwing axe lodged firmly in his right arm.
... a throwing blade lodged shallowly in his right arm.
... a throwing blade lodged shallowly in his left arm.
... a throwing blade lodged shallowly in his right arm.

Vinjince is suffering from a life threatening loss of vitality (91%).

Isn't that how its supposed to work?

>>Un-killable by normal means. Cannot be used in many other abilities.

unless you have another definition of un-killable? I have no idea what "by normal means" means. When they first announced that ability, they said, your unkillable for a short period of time, what did you expect?

I dont think 5 minutes for invulnerability is a short period of time.

It's supposed to sap Inner Fire each time it keeps you from dying (which will cause the berserk to end prematurely). It doesn't appear to be doing that at all. I can easily berserk Volcano and be immune from dying for far too long.

Not meant to be the way it is. If I post the log, that would get the point across easily, but I'm not sure everyone wants to see that wall of text. :D

Heh, it is likely a side effect of my changes to berserk IF usage. I'll get around to fixing it.

that makes sense about the time limit - your post sounded like you were saying you should be killable. Anyways, I get what you were testing now. Setting yourself up that all hits are basically killing blows and testing to see if it affected length.

To add to this - I think it would be appropriate that if you are NOT being attacked, that it lasts a decent amount of time.

Considering the damage he absorbed and at what state he started the berserk, yeah, it needs some help. Was rather amusing to witness however. Even stanced to basicly nothing most attacks did zip for damage.
