I'm a huge fan of orcs, but I think that they need a bit
of help in terms of power.

My impression is that in the design of every unique skill,
the coders "held back" a bit too much.

I'm low level: but here are my examples:

cheap-shot, orcs don't land this much at all. I have
bashed and tripped so much, and this skill has yet to
go up. I understand that someone didn't want orcs to
use this much.. But where was the line drawn? My
opinion is that it is too ineffective. It _is_ gettin
better with level, but still grazes when it rarely
lands.

Forced March: The concept of this skill is alright, but,
-oh my god it hurts-! This is something that I'm afraid
will kill me if I'm gonna use it in pk. This is also
something I don't do while leveling, because of the -con
thing. I don't like this skill at all.

Exsanguinate: alright, interesting, but I don't think
any orc can be pleased with the 22 tick counter between
making bloody skins. The effect of 1 of my blood sacks
is negligable. I guess I need to sit around harvesting
sacs or something, because this is again, not a skill I
like much.


Other things that I don't like about orcs: When we die, we're in the ass end of nowhere, and walking to our corpse takes a while =)

I don't think we can join cabals? I don't see any evidence that cabal powers were incorporated into our default skills. I don't think our village can be raided either.

orcs berserkers really have nothing to put them "above and beyond" the damage of normal hitters. Warriors get berserk & warcry! The only real berserkers (I know of) come out of .

I'm gonna respond to this post with some ideas.
