About Battleragers
Stalker0 from http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/245588-battlerager-overpowered.html
Well after a few sessions of trying out my fighter as a battlerager, my DM and I both agreed it was overpowered.
We had a fight tonight that consisted of about half minions and half regular leveled stuff. It was a hard fight, so there was twice the number of guys as normal. My 16 con fighter just couldn't die. I was surrounded for half the fight, and I could take wave after wave of attacks with no issue, I've had to get healed far less often then before, and...I'm just that much more awesome.
Compared to the +1 attack bonus (which I did track to see how often it came up) there's no comparison. So I'll be converting my fighter back, but I'll still be trying out some of the new powers in the book.
