You use the word dumb entirely too much, in game and out. Not everyone has an invoker and a healer. If you're saying the only method we have to deal with berserkers is uber ganks then don't complain when we do exactly that. Stoneskin, aura, shield, haste and everything else are limited, they take up inventory space and get stolen by thieves. Weren't you just complaining about losing your spare weapons? Difference is there's a whole lot less you can do to stop thieves from taking stoneskin, aura, etc. They're also not always in. Having played many chars I can say that the majority of people do not have all of what you mentioned on them at the same time and its called not being anal.

As for parry, dodge, shieldblock, etc, maybe we should take away spellbane because you can save against spells. Yeah, you can parry a deathblow, or you could fail parry and lose half your health if you aren't prepped out the ass.

As for reducing his strength, that's possible now that there are changes to bloodthirst, assuming of course there are no defenders around and the rager is an idiot that is. If you leave a rager thirsting and come back you're pretty much guaranteed to find them hiding inside the village like usual.

And somehow you can't figure out how to deal with winged nightwalkers. Come on now.

He listed tons of ways to avoid getting your weapons stolen. One option is to *gasp* use non-limited weapons to raid Scion.

So go during the day. They don't keep one permanently there usually. 'Where' is overpowered.

This is the most idiotic thread I've seen in my life to date.

Way to go, why don't you take his milk money now?
