...but using flame arrows to steal kills from the berzerkers is slight overkill! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, doesn't seem to be a wise use of resources.

One of the techniques I employed was luring (mob name withheld, so as not to spoil) back to the party, and killing them one at a time; so that they all landed in a tight pile. The party would smack down the "revivers" while the baiter lured more victims back to add to the pile. When all done, throw a molotov cocktail onto the pile, or have the Mage throw Agannazar's Scorcher. Obviously, this is a technique that would be hard to execute with Berserkers (Berzerkers?, whatever...) in the mix. I need to brainstorm some more...

Meanwhile, a group of Berserkers, called AFTER you had made the pile of mobs, could generate a bunch of entertainment, while the rest of the team shifted gear, healed up, etc. I wonder how long the show could be expected to last if you had, say, 8 mobs, and the Bard in there singing the War Chant to 4 Berserkers. I will try to remember to run this experiment when the right opportunity presents itself.

OH, and to get back to the original topic that kicked this thread off: I have gotten to the Vale with a new party. My party leader was down to 7 HP (out of 56) after one trip. I rested in the Inn at Kuldahar for 16 hours to get back to full health. I have HoW installed.
