I heard bloodthirst also hastes the rager? Is that true? If so, is that really fair esp to non-rager warriors? I mean, there are no haste potions out there. Yeah, warrior can get a muter but that is really rare. Another thing, it doesn't make sense. Bloodthirst should make more of a drawback than just running into some random mob that only shamans or necro's can summon. To me, bloodthirst should make you harder, maybe 100% chance of double damage and better chance of a deathblow that does more damage , but it will also make you get hit more. Pretty much, you cannot parry and makes dodging harder when thirsting because you give up all your fighting skills for increase damage. Basically keeping whith the berseker skill idea (more hit/dam but also worse ac). Hell, maybe give them reduced damage to weapon attacks also because they cannot feel physcial pain. But giving haste I think is too much. There is also no reason for a warrior to be anything but a rager berseker.
