Thrall nerf made leveling pointless

Man it took me forever to find this:

But basically the Base Health and HP/Point on the Berserker match the same values as a Forgotten Tribe Archer, rather than matching Snowhunter (the only other non-purge FT Fighter) as they probably should. Hugo acknowledges that discrepancy in the above post.

Also, while I would still love to know where @Firespark81 got his damage numbers from, I suspect that they are probably pretty close to correct, and since Snowhunter gets the same 3.9 as the Votaries but the Berserker is at a 2.9 or something for melee, it probably matches the damage values for a FT Archer (but he never gave the FT Archer values in the vid unfortunately).

So basically at the current time the Berserker is basically a T4 FT Archer rather than a Fighter (that’s a theory but the evidence seems to support it).

To note, they have taken care of one issue that I raised in that post (the Black Hand Fighters/Archers are now spawning with the same health which puts them at a 1:1 ratio more consistent with the lesser Factions) but there are several more which haven’t been touched (Darfari archer stats, Berserker, Teimos, etc) so only time will tell. I will say that while my clan has a chest full of Berserkers they are not deploying any until this hopefully gets fixed.

What I am saying is not that the Fighters weren’t adjusted (the patch changed melee damage/point of Strength to a ratio of 0.8092 or something from the 1.25 or whatever it was before), just that since the ranged damage/point of Agility took a more severe hit (0.79 or some such, where it used to be equal) that it’s possible the Archer base damage modifier would have been adjusted as well so you would see a more severe impact comparing Archer melee damage before/after the patch than you would comparing Fighter melee damage.
