Primal Rage needs a HUGE nerf!

But really, who makes these warrior skills? From my expierence I think it goes something like this:

A: I made a new skill: Primal Rage. It does 10-20% armor penetration on warrior attacks and it's elite and it has a recharge of...
B: mhm, ok let's test it
C: I tested it and it's too strong. I can abuse it when using ... the problem is: executioners does 300+ damage
B: ok, that is too strong. we need to prevent this abuse. let's disable all skills and buff armor penetration


Something like that will be in the creation process of primal rage and similiar skills... a good idea was too strong and the nerf hit it way too hard.

I mean, sure, you get some critical hits in there, but those hit hardest on Hammers, and who really uses those? i do

Psh, skills and adrenaline are so overrated. Who uses them anymore? I personally just pound on keys until something dies. The only one I make sure to use regularly is mending, and even then, I only have to do that once!

Oh, and I do like to call out my health, energy, weapon set (sundering fiery dragon sword of fortitude and exalted aegis ), and when I die, that the monks havent done their job , but those dont count since I can do all those even if my skills are blacked out!

And while thats probably the nicest thing about primal rage, I really do think its a bit overboard maybe it should just disable all of your non-healing prayers skills for 10 seconds?

Me theory is that Primal Rage is soooooooooooooooo crap. That it went off the crap end and ended up on the uber good end of the scale. Exactly, it wrapped around.

*has fond memories of making too much money in the original sim city and instead instantly had trillions of dollars of debt and was kicked out of office*

ammoes lmfao "lock and load people, we got ammo!" *BaM* right out the barrel, and it leaves a spent shell casing laying around, how freaking awesome is that? Sorry, for going off topic, but that has got to be the most apropos acronym of all time. I am going to be giggling every time I see an ammo in game for the next couple of weeks. no more fps for you!!

I could think of a interesting 2 man build which uses primal urge... mainly as a farming tool but pvp could be possible. I might start that actually.

Heres a PvP hammer warrior using it. Against another warrior he will be doing around 26-52 damage, not counting critical hits, with bludgeoner. Against a mage of somesort expect hits above 100.

My Character22


Warrior/Monk
Level: 20

Strength: 11 (8+3)
Hammer Mastery: 12 (8+4)
Healing Prayers: 12
Smiting Prayers: 6

Primal Rage (Strengh)
For 10 seconds, all of your attacks have an additional 46% chance of being critical hits and have 20% armor penetration. Primal Rage disables all skills for 10 seconds.
Energy: 5 Cast:0 Recharge:15

- Sprint (Strength)
For 12 seconds, you move 25% faster.
Energy:5 Cast:0 Recharge:20

- Warrior's Cunning (Strength)
For 9 seconds, your melee attacks cannot be blocked or evaded.
Energy:10 Cast:0 Recharge:60

- Power Attack (Strength)
If this attack hits, you strike for +25 damage.
Energy:5 Cast:0 Recharge:4

- Vigorous Spirit (Healing Prayers)
For 30 seconds, each time target ally attacks or casts a Spell, that ally is healed for 11 points.
Energy:5 Cast:1 Recharge:4

- Live Vicariously (Healing Prayers)
While you maintain this Enchantment, whenever target ally hits a foe, you gain 14 Health.
Energy:5 Cast:2 Recharge:0

- Balthazar's Spirit (Smiting Prayers)
While you maintain this Enchantment, target ally gains adrenaline and Energy after taking damage. (The amount of adrenaline gained increases depending on your rank in Smiting Prayers.)
Energy:10 Cast:2 Recharge:0


- Judge's Insight (Smiting Prayers)
For 13 seconds, target ally's attacks deal holy damage and have +20% armor penetration.
Energy:10 Cast:2 Recharge:10



Start by casting balthazar's spirit and live vicarously on yourself. use sprint to get to the battle. When there cast judge's insight, vigorous spirit, warriors cunning, then charge in with your primal rage on. If you have people paying their attention to you, balthazar's spirit would gain you energy, each hit will gain you 25 hp.
If you get a hammer with 19-35 zealos 3:-1 and a damage modifier whilst enchanted, you can replace balthazar's spirit with something more productve, such as crude swing (hitting +16 to foes near you, meaning more energy and hp)

ammoes lmfao "lock and load people, we got ammo!" *BaM* right out the barrel, and it leaves a spent shell casing laying around, how freaking awesome is that? Sorry, for going off topic, but that has got to be the most apropos acronym of all time. I am going to be giggling every time I see an ammo in game for the next couple of weeks. Awesome! We can shoot the assassins out of a cannon! Best idea ever.

I mean come on, they'll live longer than they usually do, AND do more damage before they die.

I can think of 1 use for Primal Rage. Somehow inflicting Cripple onto a target with a Hammer (desperation blow ftw!), then of course kindly asking an ally to go kill themself. Turning on I WIll Avenge You then spam Primal Rage.

Imagine the horror of a Hammer Warrior with increased attack speed, improved critical hit chances and armour penetration.
Now if only i could find a situation where my allies are dead and things are mysteriously crippled.

I know! An Assassin... with Return i laughed at that one.
wow.
