Basically, in dumb fight Nesam(place any resisted defensive warrior here) vs ram, ram has no chances even considering barier, aura and shield.

Alot of items are limited... girdle of giant strength, etc..
Other plus str items are not worth it at all, i would trade two mandatory cloaks for two bandit robes.
But it seems to me having your weapon in your hands is much better than having high damage modifier with claws (in this particular case.. however,in general).
> Now, we all know ragers die too often. The suggestion is: keep your rage for a moment and go gather some equipment to fight the mages better.
Yes, i tried to re gear take a step out and i find myself...yelling!
Help! I am being attacked by a faceless nightgaunt.
and more Die! Zorszaul, you scocerous dog..
you get my point?
> Yes, there are different ways however even when scourge did not work. But scourge alone will not win a fight against a prepared rager.
Yah, i scratch you, while you Mangle you... too easy..
