Arcane Brilliance: On Deep Freeze

But odds are pretty good you’ll be too busy rolling your face across the keyboard and shouting, “Faster, pussycat! Kill! Kill!!” to notice this. At first glance, Berserk is actually most intriguing as a tanking tool (although I’ll admit I say that because I still flinch
