Haha, nice catch, i saw it too.

Was fun when Act 4 released and melee was ruined to ground, while all crit was HUGELY buffed. lol at that "balance" :D

The new unique jewel make me wondering : If cloaked in savagery have a small chance to activate when taking a critical hit ?
Like 1/20, maybe ?

It will :
- Make the node more useful and little less dangerous
- Open new strategies (like using this jewel to take more critical hit and have more chance to have the "cloaked in savagery" effect)

Doesn't make a difference just adds to the newbie trap.

Berserker is shit and for weirdos who enjoy RIPing in maps.

You want best DPS and ultimate glass cannon without downsides? Pick Assassin with no sily incr dmg taken or savage hit mechanic nonsense.

Who in their right mind would prefer Savagely Hit over Endless Hunger or acuity/VP as solid alternatives?

Yea enjoy all those 'buffs' from Berserker that makes you hit like a baby vs Assassin and RIPier than most spellcasters.

5% life on a warcry with 100% cooldown will make my marauders immortal plus free up two flask slots for goodness knows what other OP fun I can think of.

Yeah the other perks look sucky at first glance.

Is that 5% life per second (and for how many seconds), or just 5% life, total?. The latter isn't much.

Berserker looks almost totally offensive, Juggernaut almost totally defensive. As things stand now, I probably prefer the Juggernaut, but there's a while to go before release, so we'll see. There's also the third Ascendancy class to be released as well.

Third Marauder will be caster option, and make other two look like shit. Calling it now.

On a side note: guys, two "melee sucks" threads in Feedback is enough, kthx.

Until melee is up to par I don't think any number of "melee suxx" threads >0 would be inappropriate.

Yeah, Berserker is really bad. Sadly.

+1 fully agree.
It's worst for newbie and those who just started playing, as you said it's noob trap.

Just imagine you playing T14-15 map with 2 extra dmg + vuln + (-max res) etc and you taking 10% more dmg up to that just for free. like WHY NOT? Playing melee already mean you will 100% take every EVERY hit and cast from every monster and all additional extra dmg make melee worse and worse, each mod add 50% MORE chance to die as melee char. So GGG think adding more extra dmg for free would be balanced?

Btw where 250 Life + 500 Armour + 20% MORE Max Res and Max Armour, more attack speed and dmg for marauder? All of that in one node has SHADOW! But not marauder?
