Avalanche is available to me as a 29th circle barb, but I haven't chosen an ability yet. I don't have ANY berserks at all, and I'm not sure I want to start.

From the path of the Flame you know the Forms: Buffalo, Monkey and Swan.

Currently 29th circle, hunting kra'hei hatchlings without any difficulty. I use Contemplation, Monkey, Swan (Warding training purposes only), Piranha, and Eagle.

Any more senior barbs have any thoughts or recommendations?

I like Flashflood a lot in that it trains warding so you can ditch swan, very usefull in training and PvP. Tornado is a must zerc imo. Wildfire is a nice booster, but full disclosure non of my barbs have it anymore due to wanting to grab masteries etc...

I also have Cyclone, but mainly just as a tree filler for flame (to get to bear)

Eh, fatigue in general has been a broken stat since the 2.0 days. I've often pondered what could be done with it to make it more useful.

Balancing it across 100s of ranks of Stamina and Discipline - where weapons themselves don't change, is damn hard. I'm also worried that "fixing" the calculations more so people of all circles have to pay more attention to it will only result in anger from the players.

One idea was to make fatigue work more like mana. For example:

* Fatigue only gives a 10% defensive penalty when below 25%
* Fatigue gives up to a 10% offensive penalty when below 25%
* Fatigue regenerates much quicker when below 25%
* Fatigue only gives a 10% modifier to disengaging from combat when below 25%

* Fatigue regeneration slows while engaged
* Weapon attacks would be a constant drain on Fatigue - 60 seconds to empty for 20 stam/disc. 200 seconds to empty with 100 stam/disc
* Bob/Circle/Weave/Feint/Parry/Dodge/Block all regenerate some fatigue
* Fatigue is expended to power maneuvers
* New maneuvers that require fatigue to be above a certain % would be added (flying side kick into the Roman Army :::cough:::) Allows battle to start off with a big hit, and then you must ratio or plan your subsequent hits

I dunno. It is really difficult to balance. But IMO there is a good argument from removing fatigue entirely in the game today. It is a useless stat once you get past about circle 75.

<<I dunno. It is really difficult to balance. But IMO there is a good argument from removing fatigue entirely in the game today. It is a useless stat once you get past about circle 75.

I still deal with fatigue pretty often. It just boils down to what you're doing.

That said, when I had access to Lilt fatigue didn't mean a damn thing.

Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

>>I would be sad if fatigue was removed, if only because it would devalue my two favorite stats, Strength and Stamina.


Not overly, ignoring fatigue completely those are still rather valuable stats in modern combat. Or in your case, for carrying that metric ton of forging supplies.

Nooo... Fatigue is my favorite stat to damage! I can't hit nerves anymore, get away from the rest of my combat toolkit!

If it allows us to provide a more balance and fair combat system... anything is on the table.

My problem with fatigue is:

1). Fatigue damage is crippling and violates global caps (0 fatigue is > 2 capped defense/offense debuffs)

2). Fatigue damage is impossible to regenerate effectively during a fight once lost

Zephyr heals my fatigue just fine... is this what it feels like to be a cleric?

If anything fatigue is a wonky system because it effectively didn't exist for years and devolpers selectively ignored it (oh hello, spirit health!). It's the game dev equivalent of everyone training the most overpowered skill. DR Combat has tended to get increasingly one dimentional in that respect, especially compared to the big pvp muds
