There are some drawbacks to berserk. Obviously, that's not your point, but there *are* more than just the armor class penalty. n/t

Not this wussy heal-self berserk as the Theranian warrior, No. We couldn't flee nor use any kind of return/transport potions (No problem here, can't quaff in battle). This meant berserk was a dangerous skill and very hard to master. But the benefit from berserk was enormous, if translated into CF it would, at hero, be something like +25/30. I liked this, and I think as berserk is now, it just a way for warriors to heal themselves, the armorclass penalty is not a thing to fear anyway.

> Just my toughs, and yes, I have played a warrior.

> Ps. Actually, the same should go with bloodlust. Doesn't make sense that you attack EVERYTHING in a rouse of blood, and then flee when you see your own.
