I've been master brawler/master pike for a couple of weeks now but there are still a lot of things that are very vague to me, I've tried googling the web and searching these forums which came up with mostly "we think this is how it works" or "this is how it works" "no, you're wrong, this is actually how it works" etc.
When I'm berserk, people say they can't intimidate me. I've fought another master brawler/master tk and he queued up constant intimidates for about 20 seconds and none of them landed, does berserk have any other effects like this?
It's said that berserk increases both your to-hit chance and to-be-hit chance, but by just how much? Does it also increase damage per strike/damage taken per strike or is it accuracy alone?
I've read that melee defense and accuracy is each 0.5% to evade or hit per point. But what's the base? If a guy with 30 accuracy swings at a guy with 30 melee def, will he hit every time? If I have 200 melee defense, will I dodge like neo?
What's the best way to use warcry effectively? Even if I make a macro going /warcry2;/pause 2;/peace, my lag (usually 250ms) or current state (Am I just about to swing before warcry, making it activate a couple of seconds later?) is enough to make the macro both too slow (I swing at my opponent after warcry landed) or too fast (peace comes before I get to do warcry which cancels it). Right now I do warcry followed by a few intimidates, but this gets kinda messy since I have to cancel my intimidates again when I want to do other stuff. It also costs a crazy amount of HAM if I'm unbuffed. Does changing weapons go into the combat queue or does it do that immediately in the same way as peace?
I've never ever gotten /warcry2 to work as an area attack, is there something I'm not doing right? I was fighting 6 spice fiends using a wood staff just to experiment, I pulled them around a little so they all formed a column and spammed warcry2, I did this over and over again but they were still all attacking me.
Sometimes when I dizzy/kd someone in pvp, they still stand right back up, is this combat equilibrium? Does falling from a posture change count as a "forced" posture change?
(I'm not using polearmhit3 which has a posture change up effect)
Any answers to any of these questions would be appreciated.
