I think it's the Zerk that is out of whack. Skylar stillgets hit regularly for over 50 by fighters like Rek and Cobra through giant armor. While I know zerkers don't! The problem comes when zerk + giant armor is there. If giant armor is taken away, then non- barb thugs and oogs are in trouble. If giant armor is taken away, FF damage needs to be way toned down to compesate. Back to the original topic. I agree that there need to be a sharpening/repair peddle about every three months. We just got one not too long ago, but before that there were LONG dry spells. Alternatively, maybe the repair shops could be giver a shapen/pad option. Dunno, might require coding.
