remove zerk mute please

[Aaronock]

I actually think that Gravity made the skill have you unable to chat because that's flavorful.

A lot of RO skills useta be pretty flavorful, and then got changed over the years to suck more and more (hi dere Abracadabra!), or in some cases became super duper broken when trans came around (hi dere Asura!).

Anyway, I do support taking out the unable to chat part of Zerk. However, I do know it won't happen because that's going to deal with source code edits probably and know that GM's make that a no-no zone to touch about 99% of the time. :>

PS: what shik said about it being a strategic issue in woe (although kittie explained how external programs could easily overcome that) is also a valid point

In tense situations,??talking generally gets people/parties killed. Berserk??(from a pvp standpoint) is generally suicide, especially since most people already know how to counter it on a number of classes, (usually hiding and waiting for it to run out and leave the LK with negligible HP so they can one shot them, or disabling them so zerk isn't as useful anymore aside from stalling the inevitable.)

I honestly don't know where to stand.??On the one hand I like having an excuse I can fall back on and be a jerk with and go "OOPS! CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW! FRENZY!" any time anywhere.??But communication is indeed important for other situations like woe, but they usually have ventrillo or something for that, so it turns into a non-issue.

I think berserk is/should be a desperation move that can only be kicked in when your HP's low. A last resort??Burst of strength that can be used to save your bum either through escaping or kicking ass. But due to the way RO works, that's probably not gonna work due to high damage situations.

Given all that I've written now, I'm leaning towards "don't change a thing". Because I like being a jerk.

PM me on Okaso, I'll guarantee you I'll be in zerk. If not, I will be before i can respond, no matter if I'm in town or off fightin porings.

Role Playing view:
Without Berserk = Sane, calm and social.
With Berserk = Insane, blind rage and grunts.
