ok, the difference between kensai mage and berserker mage...which is more evil, and offers superior benefits...

i don't know the exact numbers, but the kensai mage will do more damage, if both are dualed at the same level, 9 or 12, and have same stats, etc.

kai is a good ability, especially combined with draw on holy might (bhaalspawn ability) and a strength belt...

but enrage is such a killer DEFENSIVE ability, it seriously kicks ass..immunity to imprison, level drain...add on chaotic commands, and you have an unstunable, uncharmable pure killer in your hands...

finally, both berserker and kensai mages should wear robes, but berserker mages can wear helms and bracers...

so imho, a berserker mage offers a few more perks to make up for the pure killing power of a kensai mage...the clincher is the equipment options...there are some great bracers and helms in the game, and both will not interrupt spell casting...the extra to hit and damage bonuses are not enough to compensate for the defensive bonuses of the berserker mage...
