For all intensive purposes I've never played a rager.
Never went through that whole process.

However, I have been fighting against the ragers for as long as CF has been around, and I've been in masters/warlocks in one form or another nearly non-stop since the rise of the Ragnarok.

I've seen Deathblow go through changes, and I don't see any reason it should change now. I am not a die-hard rager, I'm a die-hard mage, and I've always ben a rager enemy. Exactly as they all say, if you parry you will survive. And try prepping well against that -naked- invoker who only needs one spell to end you, while you need to get atleast a few hits to take them out, if not exploiting their Vuln (Through shields).


Ragers need deathblow, its always had its point, and it helps separate the field-warrior from the elite-warrior.
