Morning All,

I have recently rolled a Berserker and have been adventuring in Shadeweaver Thicket area running around and basically wasting time. I am only level 5 but have a few questions...

1.) I have not played a tank class in forever. At what level do they start getting "disc's" or abilities that you can purchase from a vendor?

2.) What is a Berserker's best friend? a 2h slash, 2h bash, 1hs slash, etc...? I assume its a 2hd weapon but please advise. Also any help in picking an uber weapon would be nice. I have about 6k plat from my main that I am willing to part with.

Any other information or guidance is more then welcome. Thanks in advance for your help!

1) https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spelllist.html?name=&type=ber&level=--N%2FA--&opt=And+Higher&action=search

Also note the zerkers are not a true tank class. Yes, they can often pull it off, especially in the earlier levels, but start having issues in the high end. THey are more of a DPS class.

2) 2HS

I think beserkers first disc is blunt axe or something like that at lvl 5 or so. You'll need basic axe components (bought from vendor) to make your axes. Start looking into your axes and such (you'll need certain types of axes to utilize your snare and stun abilities).

Beserkers can ONLY use 2h weapons so it shouldn't be that difficult to keep your 2hs, 2hb and 2hp up.

Build up your endurance, you'll need it.

Zerkers aren't really a tank class they are dps. They can tank pretty good sometimes though. They are a chain class but on the knights hp table.

There's a zerker in our guild who is already out dpsing some of the monks and rogues.

Great! Thanks for the help.

Didn't realize that they could only use two-handed weapons!

Zerkers are loads of fun! Snare axe is awesome. Why can tank just fine up till the 60's when those crazy zones like WoS and above come into play. They hold agro with no anger augs better than any class i know of with out the use of mana. At 55 bare naked my zerker had 1672 hp's and 120 sta that was a bit higher than my 64 monk bare naked. I enjoyed him very much and was on my way to actualy making him my main class. The biggest issue with them is the limitation on armor. The really good chain gets terribly expensive higher up but it's not so bad in the lower levels. Once you hit 51 you can wear tae ew armor it's the best stuff for the price. All in all they are a good class but they got a little bit of a bad rap becasue they didn't offer anything terribly useful to a complete grp. I had no problem tanking PoN or PoI at 51 never did get to try to tank PoV because i had to quit playing the game abruptly.

I would suggest you use a 2HS, 2HB and a 2HP. That way when you get that killer new weapon you wont have to worry about skilling it up to get benefit.
