But you are forgetting why they get those powers. Villagers do not have enlarge,
reduce, fly, haste, protection from evil/good, stoneskin, teleport, word of recall, spiderhands, slow,
and various other preps that any uncaballed and most caballed can use.

They are RP restricted to kill mages/mage slaves/cabal enemies.
So most likely they are not going to come hunting for you unless you are one of the above.

In return, Berserkers get deathblow which is a parryable/dodgeable big hit
(which is to bash through abs/do big hit damage against enemies),
bloodthirst (haste + damage) and trophy (+damage).

Scouts get Aoe spell avoid, being able to see affects, critical hit (normal hit that pierces ABS)

Defenders get a heal(which is on a timer), double block, and poultice which can cure various diseases.

For giving up all those things, I would say Scouts and Defenders are underpowered against ganks.
I think defenders and scouts should get a skill that makes them less vuln bash and vuln trip.

I just have to say, battle is Vuln stategic gank and Vuln orc.
Berserkers are a little less vuln gank, but if their eneimes are prepped like they should be,
they will likely die or be forced to retreat.

About half of my deaths on Kontoln were to ganks, a little under half were solo PKs.

I would rather the battle Imms remove Parity so people would stop complaining about it.
Maybe make deathblow fire less when there are more than one person hitting the target. IDK.

I love playing battle because it is challenging. But you do die completely silly deaths
sometimes because you cannot prep against what you know full well they are going to do to you.
Sometimes it is just bloodthirst and see if you can take one down with you.
Othertimes it is a crazy ride you were amazed you survived.
