Be forewarned, I don't know much at all about the beserker class. I just know that my fellow clannie earned the Contagion skill recently and he's tried everything to get it to work...and can't. He's tried soul count, using other skills in conjunction, etc. etc. I am really sad to see him so disheartened by it.
Does anyone here know how that skill works...if it has any sort of requirements for it to be useable? Thanks in advance. Sorry if this wasn't descriptive enough. Doing my best. ^^
He has to bleed the mob first. Contagion requires previous bleeding. Either by another party mate, or using Blade Rush (which is the Berserker's AOE rush bleed).
But in any case, doesn't matter how it's done, but the mob needs to be bleeding or Contagion won't work.
You speedy little monkey. ;) Yeah within just minutes of posting this, we re-read the skill description and saw the hint for it needing to be previously bled. Interesting! Thanks for the help. :)
Hehehe no problem! I just happened to be around when you posted.
But yeah... the thing is, Blade Rush (at least when I was still actively playing my Berserker) can be dangerous, since it's an AoE rush skill. And the bleed from Blade Rush doesn't land 100%.
IT's good though when you have someone in party that can bleed. Contagion does as much damage as Crushing Pain. High-DD skill, really.
Yep, that's assuming the stun from Shoulder Charge and Disarm will land. Cause when they do (and reminding him to get strike back toggled), the Zerker's very painful to the enemy. Very.
