#3625, "RE: Agreed"


          

>First of all my observation:
>90% of those who whine about deathblow never played a rager
>berseker
>or ended it with a lowbie rager.

This works both ways. Most people who defend deathblow with passion are usually die-hard rager players who played few rager enemies. Both of these groups see the skill from only one side.

>Deathblow is fine as it is.
>Sure, it can kill you with extreme luck involved,
>but so you can die to other things as well.
>As an unprepared warrior I fear an "unspeaking" invoker much
>more
>than an "unspeaking" rager.

"Extreme luck". This is why we have hundreds of logs showing that deathblow changes outcome of the fight to opposite.

>The log of NNNick just shows that one person didn't parry
>rager's hits
>while didn't hit him at once. He deserved to die.

Actually, this log is perfect example of how unprepared warrior vs rager fight goes on. 95% of such fights are like that.
Also, what do you mean by "deserved to die"? What does it have to do with power of deathblow?

>Overall deathblow just slightly increase average damage of a
>berserker per fight. ( Because it doesn't happen too often )

It happens quite often and more often when rager fights unprepared warrior.

>And I like that deathblows let a rager to make feats of arms
>and their bards would create tales about that

Yes, it is sure quite nice to have power that allows you to kill opponent by pure luck when you are near death and your opponent is in perfect health.

>Also it gives to a rager a reason to show his courage
>and stay in the fight which is goes bad.
>Else it would be just sure death.

It actually gives a rager reason to fight people who are not their enemies and more often flee from people they are supposed to fight.

Deathblow can be designed to be more balanced and more interesting than it is now. Nobody just wants to do it.
