This was like the third or fourth time I'd ever fought a berserker, after the changes went in. Nobody knew anything about them. I didn't include it, but the few lines after my fleeing were Serafim saying "And somehow Nesam seems to be getting haste from somewhere, strange as that seems." After having my spells spellbaned in my first and second fights with berserkers (not knowing there were three rager sects yet, of course, and not knowing what the fuck was going on), I figured once was a bug, second was strange, but now, the third or fourth time, I had to start testing. The log you have here is one of the three or four fights I used to try *every* invoker spell on ragers. And when I say every, I mean every. I tried them all. In hero fights with Takashimi, Veshiko, Taishanrawr, Nesam, etc. From Windwall and scourge and cone and geyser to icicle, charge weapon and faerie fire. As I have already said, when it was against someone of equal or higher level than me, not one spell ever, ever, went through. As you can see from the logs, I wasn't just making that up.
So no, I dont usually cast windwall and engulf against ragers. These were test fights, to see what the deal was with the rager powerboost.
