My Samurai used Bloodlust until I found Fang at about level 15.

In the final analysis, you have to way the benefits of the cursed item with its disadvantages.

Hmm. Three questions - what items did you equip to negate the 1d per second of the Staff o' Doom? Is there an equivalent 1hp per second Socks o' Regen I have missed?

Also, I have Fang, but gave it to my Lord to use. I find the Samurai does a lot more damage in Beserk mode. Did you notice that Fang was a better weapon for a Samurai?

Lastly, does using a cursed sword like Bloodlust not allow you to equip a second blade? My Sam has the enchanted whatsitz in his other hand and I assumed he was hitting with it, never paid much attention. I know if I equip him with one of the speed or dex shields, he gains that benefit even whilst holding onto the cursed blade...
