Summary	0018659: Beast Mode perk increases damage too much
Description	The Beast Mode perk is too useful. It can appear twice in a row, and having an extra 80% damage is a huge advantage. I've never felt tempted to take a different perk on levels 9 or 10. Also, since it only randomly appears on level 10, it puts you at a significant disadvantage if it doesn't appear. I'd suggest reducing the extra damage to 25%, and making it so that its appearance on level 10 isn't random. It would still significantly increase damage, but not so much that it overshadows all the other perks. You could also keep the damage % the same, but only have it appear on level 9, so it can't be stacked as much. Swapping Lesser Crit for a better perk at level 9 would also help. 5% crit chance is far less useful than a flat 40% damage increase. Maybe replace it with Greater Crit, and remove that from level 10.
