Ugh, Berserker on Insane

Gained 15 hp when enraged, lost 30 when winded. I see why this is happening but still think it's a bit illogical. Will have to be careful then, losing 30 hp just like that can be devastating when in a tight spot. Anyway, he looks like the most solid fighter kit, going with Crom Faeyr and a nice shield to make him the ultimate tank. Two-handed weapons aren't really that powerful and dual-wielding is useless past the 3 million mark I figure.

Dual-wielding go bad? After 3 million? No way. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You get better weapons, and can hit more, making them a very practical alternative. Try countering a paladin dual-wielding Purifier and Foebane rather than one with one of those swords and a shield. Not the same at all. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ok so not worthless, but as a tank I figure that the added +3-4 AC is better than what most seconday weapons can offer. The other main reason to dual-wield, faster attacks, isn't a reason past 3 million xp due to whirlwind.

Ah, but instead of Whirlwind, consider Deathblow. Specifically, Grandmastery + Dual-wielding + Improved Haste + Greater Deathblow. See what I mean?

Like every other part of the BG series, there's always more than one way to kick ass.
