Barbarian Mutation broken?

[Axeblade77]

so, i really like clubs in this game. they are big, they are fun to use and rewarding. but i'm noticing that Barbarian isn't adding any damage when i'm raged.. am i just being paranoid and not noticing? or is it broken?

Note: so i tested it more and it does add damage but it was a extremely tiny, i tested this on a baby spider where, when using a +1 upgraded ant club it took 2 hits with barbarian rage triggering on the first swing to kill it. without rage however, the baby spider was left on a extremely small sliver of health to the point punching it with a fist would be overkill.

Update: test results and question: does Barbarian's rage damage go off a % of targets health?

Which level are you using as I assume if you have it at level 1 it will get better once you unlock levels 2 and 3? Or are you maxed out??

maxed out, i think it just performs weirdly with some weapons

Dont even know why you should use a 2hand weapon. Have 3 weapons everytime with me. axe, hammer and a bow or spear. everything is faster then a 2hand, you can have a torch in your hand without switching the helmet or drop the weapon. And an upgraded axe is really good, an upgraded hammer you easy fast kill the big bugs.

technically, clubs are the best weapon ingame. they have no strengths against bugs, but, also no resistances.. and broodmother club has highest overall damage.

anyway, I don't use them. in my experience, lvl9 antlion sword absolutely destroys almost all bugs very quickly, minimal effort.

only other weapons I use is salty mosquito needle for termites and mint mace for infected wolf. also, I suppose insect bow, very rarely

Does this mutation work with mint mallet? I couldn't get it to pop once after about 20 hits to an enemy and I had no prob with the red ant club using it.

All weapons listed by you require to finish almost all labs/caves before even being able to obtain one, while the Rotten Ant Club can be picked up within the first 5-10 minutes...

Imo the Ant Club is a great 2hander weapon and works nicely with Barbarian until you killed your first mosquito. Esp. if you suk in perfect block, the (upgraded) Mosquito needle plus shield is perfect until you unlock a Tier 2 club. By then you should be proficient in blocking with a weapon.

Just keep in mind the need to repair more often if you block with your weapon!

Correct, the Mutation requires to kill 50/100/200 enemies with a club.

i meant kill an enemy and barbarian is on for the next enemy (After you already have the mutation equiped), since you got a blood rush for killing them.

Oh, well barbarian also activates when you kill the last enemy in the room, which is annoying me by now, but you're correct there as well... ^^
