and don't tell me that orcs are designed to always fight in packs and should be outmatched one on one, who in their right mind would want to play one then?)

***Ever hear of healers, or arcane transmuters, or invokers, or any mage. Try NOT being outclassed solo playing a muter at rank 11-34, and people play those classes. The balance comes because later the skills make up for it. Try playing an orc all the way through before you start complaining about what skills it has or doesnt have at a certain rank******

> I think something related to boneshatter in the twenty something range would be right up an orcs
**Oh yes, lets give every single class abilities that are similar in effect....**

> As well, any chance of orcs getting some form of regeneration or enhanced fast healing? Being distant cousins to trolls, perhaps this skill could carry over to the orcs in some way from the trolls.

They are NOT related to Trolls. From Tolkien at least, Orcs are from the stock of corrupted elves. And trolls are from the stock of corrupted Ents. They share no genes whatsoever.

I mean, the orc beserk is the same as the warrior berserk for all intents and purposes, kind of a let down in my eyes.

****Wrong. It is not the same. It is closer to what you would think than I think you realize.****

> Perhaps the orc berserk might let the orc take less damage while fighting (like a resist)

***Bad idea. Orcs are closer to A-ps than warriors in this respect. Orcs are for doing damage....fast. Which they do very very well. To give them some sort of EXTRA resist on top of that would be very unbalancing. Try perfecting the defences you DO have.***

• I agree on all points. Put a log here to since it shows what an orc can do even at low ranks. Shurzzuk 20:15:45 12/30/2000 (0)
