I tried, a long time ago, a cloud ranger hunter villager when I had the idea that Deathblows should land pretty often with a bow as they can only be shield blocked or dodged. This was before we fully understood that hunter bearcharge is a complete waste of time. As such I would win fights in terms of beating enemies but could never quite seal the kill because of a lack of regular lagging ability. I was then told by 'An Immortal' through the Destructor, and I paraphrase here, that I need to get more kills or I will lose my hut as a berserker. I was then given a week to get 5 mage kills with my almost non-existant lag inducing build. I managed 3 and failed, got pissed off and deleted after getting uninducted because it was a failed character build.

So when I read Djetmai's PBF I was curious as to whether things have changed and standards dropped or if it just went unnoticed.

MY question is with regards to PKing ability as a berserker. It is a popular path in the village and sometimes it gets full and applicants are asked to wait or chose a different path so if we have a thief with 17 kills and 29 assists (23 of these were in 'cabal raids' based on location. The gank-o-meter then reads 'super-ganky' and this raises questions to me about the Imms/commander/Djetmai.

A berserker should be PK solid and have more than 17 PKs for 306 hours. It may be drawn into combat in cabals that get recorded as ganks as far as the gank-o-meter is concerned but if the berserker is proving to be inefectual as a solo-fighter and only shows any real use as a 'war-party' member, shouldn't the Imms/commander have a word with said berserker and, to begin with, suggest that they might consider changing paths to one more suited to them and later if the hint wasn't strong enough, tell them to show their prowess as a solo fighter more or risk losing the position of berserker forcably?

Maybe I am a little out of touch, maybe the Imms would see it as 'ruining' a character but I see it as an RP reason to hold berserkers to the higher standards within the village, therefore, an RP opportunity for the player in question to let the character evolve.

Anyway, I am not hating on Djetmai but curious as to the Imms reasons for letting the 'so-called' standards for berserkers drop.
