There are a lot of magical spells that ragers give up that are incredibly worthwhile and have absolutely no "ragerly substitute" for. Imagine if you will, if ragers only had deathblow, nothing else, but could use magic.

If Masters were disallowed any gear that didn't aid to their int, for instance, then yeah, maybe they should get tesseract and demon summon back? No, scratch that, even with that restriction, Masters with tess and demon summon were insane. But I guess I made some semblance of a point. Maybe. > > > Disarm protection and + Str Dex gear will save your ass > > Other than noremove/nodisarm weaponry, could you explain this strange "disarm protection" you speak of? > > > Maybe some dragon/troll/jakal if you have a vuln > > Heh. Sure. And all you mages should just stop bitching and use barrier wands. They are so easy to get. > > > Its seriously not a problem the major disadvantages are mobs being summoned into you.. A lack of mana to keep your shit up and well being ganged. The trick is to get a hold of the heah then wax as many ragers as you can when you have it. > > Yep, that last sentence of yours really emphasizes Trent's point.
