Anyway, the heal ability on the berserker will probably end up healing much less hitpoints and will gain some restrictions. The concept is there, but the balance? Probably not until mass beta testing.

I figured that with a regen of 2,000hp at the cost of 40 would have been a little over the top and would have taken place over the course of a minute or so. Making it ideal for a regen during battle, give them the ability to take massive amounts of damage while still in the thick of the battle. A perfect shock troop, so to speak.

As for Battle Stand, I love when devs drop spoilers for us to drool over. Great back to the drawing board.

Battle stand - lets see. Hmm

Sounds like when they "plant their feet in the ground and get massive defensive bonuses, becoming a wall of flesh against almost any attacker. This could be used the get the rest of your army to safety at the cost of your berserkers, or hold the enemy off until reinforcements arrive.

Like Stonewall Jackson, but no horse.

Could be a good tactic depending on how expensive they are especially if the heal ability is stackable??? would be a mighty attacking force or even defending if you get them on the walls of a castle. :P

The twig is mightier than the sword. (wait what?)

Especially when the twig penetrates the viscous fluids around your eyeballs and pierces yer skull.

And your "twig" is an offense to other twigs. I find it utterly lacking in any fashionable poise and decorations. Ours are nicely feathered and will have a great decorative use when your brain is forcibly pierced by them.

You known some very creative uses for "twigs."

A poke in the eye. That can take down any thing.

So can a firearm.
