Berserker Disc/Combat Ability Rename Proposal

Problem: Berserkers have 4 abilities currently called "frenzy" which makes it difficult to discuss the abilities with... anyone.

Solution: Rename the 3 of the 4 ability lines with appropriately zerkly terms.

Frenzy Abilities in Question

1. The ability "Frenzy" that is on the same timer as "kick". Suggested change: None.
2. Line: "Battle Frenzy" (re-procable dmg proc). Suggested change: Replace "Frenzy" with "Fury"
3. Line: "Augmented Frenzy" (self-buff). Suggested change: Replace "Frenzy" with "Madness"
4. Line: "Overpowering Frenzy" (like a second "frenzy"). Suggested change: Replace "Frenzy" with "Eruption"

I'm not married to the vocabulary, of course. I've included a list of other zerk-ly terms to use instead for your own suggested modification. My primary goal is to differentiate between the lines so that we can say something as simple as "Oh, you want to use Fury instead of Madness. They're on the same timer, but Madness is better with our current AAs and such." instead of "Use frenzy instead of frenzy. No, not that frenzy. There are a few types of frenzy..."

Some fine ideas here. But personally I would prefer them spending anytime that they may devote to zerkers to looking at our current disc timers and how we fall on the dps hierarchy charts these days. To be so far behind so many classes that can many other things besides dps is kinda like... hmmm??

Dps balance needs a STRONG looking at these days lol. Zerkers need to be bringing a little more to the table in the dps dept.. since all we are designed to do is.. DPS

I can't disagree there. I think it's worth putting together a "hierarchy of needs" for Dev attention. This request and the other thread I have about Stinging Incision endurance costs are more of "scratching itches" as opposed to "overall improvement".

I'm more than willing to start that thread in a couple days if no one beats me to it.
