Berserker answer hereFollow

#1 Jan 04 2005 at 10:51 PM Rating: Decent
I wanted to ask a berserker which are the good and bad things this class has..
For my tipe, I like warriors that are mostly developed for hitting hard and been focused on offensive attacks, not so much of a defense tank tipe of player.. I guess a berserker was the best class for my tipe of warrior.

Thanks

I really don't see anything wrong with Berserker... *gasp* *from a Guardian, that's blashemy!* I know. ^^

As far as hitting hard, I think Monk/Bruisers are the harder hitting. But I have yet to go that route so I don't know for sure.

You should, every class/subclass from the Fighter Archetype is intended to be a tank.

If one's skill at tanking sucks however, no class/subclass can save him/her. ^^

my favorite things about being a zerker is that i love the damage output we do.....espcially our ae damage.......i have so much fun when i can ae.

the only downfall i tend to run into is that you are almost always required to be the tank of your group which depending on what mobs/area your grouped at. alot of the time i just wanna get my duel weps out and do some insane damage but cant cuz they want me to tank instead.

Its stuff like that why people rate you down every time you post, no matter what Kensi.

Brookie, first off, return to ffxi. Second, just stop being a ********* I know it's hard to accept the fact that life sucks (especially for you), and you HAVE to get out of the house, and stop sitting on your computer all day trying to find my post. I mean, come on.. don't you have something better to do? I guess not.. *sigh*. You hearby have my permission to rate me back up at any time to show the err in your ways. And all will be forgiven. But.. you must return to FFXI.. this is unconditional, and you must obey.

I'm sorry, you can't just wish your betters away Kensi. No matter how much you whine and cry and click your little ruby red slippers together.

And when you post 400 messages in about a months time, almost all of them no better then your last two here, its not hard to see them while casually browsing the boards once or twice a week.

Wow. Thought this was a thread about berserkers.

Didn't know I stumbled into the plane of hate.

the one flaw i fine with my berserker is that no matter what i get aggro, even if hte guardian and such is taunting his power away, and im just sitting there swinging, i tend to pull aggro from him, i love the damage though, im sure the farther into the game we get with our chars well see guardians tank alot better and hopefully well just do alot more damage

I am just about to choose my class and coming here seems to have put me on the right track. Going Zerker! I enjoy pummeling a mob good. BTW ignore my sig, that is from Final fantasy xi. You'll notice I played paladin there (And Black mage) But I think Paladin in ffxi had 10x better spells than what I have heard of the EQ2 Paladins. (No offence intended, I am sure paladins make wonderful tanks in EQ2 or else they wouldn't be set up as so.) At any rate thank you all for posting your opinions and making this site so informative.

Ok, Im going zerker. Cause well the dmg is sexy. Should I go 2 handed or dual wield? Im looking for the balance between dps and dot I guess. I know hugr dmg/swing is good, but usually you have to give in the delay area. >< But good dot is usually much less per swing. ><

Anyone have a good idea of the differences? Or is it really more of a personal preference thing as the gap is so small?

The far left is the most damaging and the far right is the best at tanking.

Bruiser - Monk - Shadowknight - Paladin - Berzerker - Guardian

BEFORE YOU FLAME ME, lemme say one thing. I am a level 42 Monk and I have been known to out-tank guardians on occasion. The differences between the classes are so minute that what I said is very variable. If EVERYTHING about a lineup of these 6 guys is the same (gear, level, level of skills/spell, skill of player, mob being fought) then it would play out exactly as I said. Each fighter has a slightly different variation from a purely neutral/developer standpoint. However, it very rarely is as perfect as this.

Bruisers CAN tank better than guardians, and not as rarely as you think.
Guardians CAN do better damage than a Bruiser, and not as rarely as you think.

From the parser I've seen on zerker forum so far, zerker dps output is above shadowknight and paladin. A well geared zerker can do 200-400dps at level 50 even after zerker's dps nerf. There is a very nice zerker dps thread running at eq2 official site. Unless there is a parsed data showing shadowknight and paladin clocking that kind of dps, I won't put them above zerker. Anyway, it is nice to see zerker to be perceived as bottom 2 in dps, then at least no more dps nerf...:)

HAH! There is not a single zerker that can get 300+ DPS, ever. The best berserker on my server can get 300 if he is fully raid buffed and not tanking. I know this for a fact, I am often the off-tank for the raids he is on. And a well-geared (insert any fighter name here) can do insane DPS.

That might be the case on your server. But here is a level 50 claim ing of doing 300dps in group. Believe it or not is up to you

http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=4&message.id=10415&view=by_date_ascending&page=1

I've not reached 50 yet, so no comment on it. If I were 50, I'd definitely get my hands on those weapons to try out...:)

I don't see where a fighter type claimed to get 300+ DPS. I see a person saying that a few scouts and most mages can get that, and that I agree with. But no fighter type in this game can, as of yet, get 300+ DPS. I don't care WHO says they can. And don't say it may be the case on my server, because that's suggesting my server has some disability that other server's are able to get over. That's so illogical.

Go through the 3 pages of messages on that link. It is posted by a berseker with a few others claiming to have achieved 300dps in a group. It is on Sony's beserker forum. You said

"There is not a single zerker that can get 300+ DPS, ever"

So I posted a link about a berserker that claim that he CAN go beyond 300+ dps. Let me quote from the post in case you missed it.

"While I'm not 50 and I don't feel the pain of those who lived the glory days of Rampage, I have adapted to the way the class plays now and AVERAGE dps for me is 200-250 in a small group and with a good large group 300-400 dps is a common occurance on yellow-orange herioc mobs."

There is a detailed breakdown on why he can get that kind of dps.

NNNNOOOOOO, /cry /whine /***** /spoutbs blah blah. ANYONE who uses terms like never and always are obviously too full of their own crap to accept anything else from the outside world. i believe the results. my zerk is 42 and i get over 100 easily with crap gear and no adept 3.

THE BOTTOM LINE: skill matters

yes there are people with mad gear and spell upgrades that i will prolly not get, tho im working for them. and if they are as skilled as me or others, they will rock me. but none of this changes anything. skill really matters, theres no autopilot. if u are skilled, and u watch and see what works, u can rock, prolly with any class out there. so if u suckazz, just let it go, really. stop flamming people for their success, thats just lame. get out of HS and figure it out for urself. i have seen good players in every class do really well, and i have seen crappy players that just cant get it up. all these flamers remind me of the kids in grade school that when they were losing the game, would make a fuss or some stupid crap so they get out of there with their pride still intact(no one ever believes them). my zerk rocks, is most the time the highest or 2nd dps in group, regardless of who we fighting, and i dont have any really good gear(all fulg armor and the mammoth axe from greenhoods). if u cant get it up, shut up and listen to the people who are successful, MAYBE u will LEARN something. well, enough counterflame for me.

luckily for us all, others beliefs do not influence reality, so go on doing ur thing, and i will go on rocking the poor mobs of norrath.
