Category:Berserkers
Prone to bloodlust? Have a passion for death and dismemberment? You might have what it takes to succeed in the bloody and brutal world of Berserkers! Berserkers are powerful fighters whose ferocity and disregard for their own safety make them truly devastating and almost impervious to damage under the right circumstances. They thrive in tumultuous combat, leading a group and battling on the front lines. Traditionally they wear very little armor, in order to maximize their destructive potential. Once they attain level 51, Berserkers do not gain new class skills in the usual manner, instead selecting from a list of Rites at specific sublevels. Berserkers NEVER learn any magic spells except homeshift, which is good because they never gain mana. The PRIME REQUISITES of berserkers is STRENGTH. They are only available to warriors, rogues and old rangers via the REMORT command.
Abbreviation: Bzk.

Devoting
Fighting
Soloing: Berserkers are very solo-able. Early on the rite Bloodlust is very handy to maintain the HP while running in full AC gear. Unless your HPs can handle swarms stick to non-aggie areas.
