My normal group that can't do more than overkill was all asleep so I decided to mess around with a frenzy/crit/LBV/silent shotgun build.

I didn't expect to be able to solo DW Aftershock. I mean, I know everything is DW-viable, but holy crap. As long as you don't get hit by a squad of cloakers, you're untouchable.

I'm never soloing DW again, but hopefully I'll be able to drag my friends along in the future.

Yeah who would think using a skill as blatantly broken as frenzy would trivialize the highest difficulty.

How to make Brawler reasonable, but also fun:

1. Frenzy massively reduces your ammo pool and pickup rate.
2. Bloodlust aced very briefly increases ammo pickup by a bunch (on melee kill).
3. Switch Counterstrike and Bloodlust.

I just tried out an ICTV frenzy build and lol. I threw the armorer perk deck on there for shits and giggles. Soloed a Deathwish 4 stores just because I could.

Since in game you only see your health bar at 1/3, is Berserker always active, or does your health have to dip to half of what you start with?

I don't foresee myself using it a ton because it's a pretty large point investment for just one skill, and it's not like the game's particularly hard without it anyway. I don't like having to pass up on other fun skill trees to get it.

Berserker is always active.

It's also not as big of an investment as people say, I don't think. You have enough flexibility to also get defensive skills, a weapon specialization, and Inspire (or something else). On top of an extra 40-80% damage.

If Frenzy were to "work" by only affecting your health, it would suck again. And that's a problem.

the idea of frenzy being the melee stab-man tier 4 is not all bad; if you want to be Gunlord Of Ultimate Death there are plenty of other options for you. Giving a shitload of effective health (you're not actually invincible on deathwish, just really tough) but requiring you to get up close and personal would be pretty hilarious. run around at warp speed and chop everyone with a giant sword or cleaver or whatever.

considering Overkill doesn't seem to know how to 'fix' it the other way, I figure the only options for them are to nerf the gently caress out of Frenzy Ace (so it's bad for everyone) or modify its current behavior to keep the resist but go all-in on melee so it's not so ludicrous. Given the choice...

it's a T4 capstone skill, it should be good. also lmao that your only defense is "no actually you suck" instead of, I dunno, an argument

well, it's a skill that's specifically for berserker builds with things like anarchist, sociopath/infiltrator, most noticeably the yakuza deck, and so if you're just "what this skill is complete garbage", the only reason I suspect you think it's bad is because you don't use it well.

it is good.

"could make it work to some extent"

Ah, yes, what glowing praise from bad mods guy.

It's workable in the same way Sharpshooter's T4 is workable. It does a thing, but is mediocre and doesn't match up well with other T4s. Being a functional skill doesn't make it good or fun.

In all seriousness, though, everyone who's thinking about trying frenzy really does owe it to themselves to take bloodthirst, melee skills and a good weapon and then one-hit a charging cloaker. It's a hilarious delete-enemy button.

Several people don't have you on ignore because you're "talking about balance issues." I'm tired of logging in and seeing lovely slapfights with you at the center, and I don't want to bug mods every time it happens. And I'm certainly not fond of the idea of new players logging in and seeing that kind of stupid poo poo. Next time, don't be a condescending weirdo, and this kind of stuff won't be dragged into several pages of cascading poo poo-posting.

I'm not going to argue it because it's posting about posting, but just try not to be at the center of this kind of stuff. It's easy enough for everyone else, it should be easy for you.
