Returning Zerk

[Troll-Lo]

Hi all Have been absent for almost 1,5 year but got hooked on Neriak. I know things have changed but not how much So far I have seen that tradework have been simplified. All the refining and intermediate stuff is gone. How is the differense between Guardians and Berserkers these days ? Back then Guards mitigated a bit better (some few percentages) but Zerkers could gain and keep aggro better, especially in multiple encounters. Both were also the only ones that could use Towershields.   Zerks were together with the Guards the preffered Raidtanks. How is it today ? Excuse my poor english I am from Sweden Best Regards Oh I betrayed Freeport as DarkElf. How will the new situation affect me ?

I'd say not much has changed in the Guard/Zerk dynamic as far as balance goes.  They still have a slight advantage as a raid tank while we make much better group tanks.  I'm not saying nothing has changed, but the relationship between the two classes is pretty much the same IMO.  Which one is better pretty much depends on who you ask.

<p>The Diff between Guards and Zerks are generally as u left it. however i would say that guards have increased the Raid Tank gap slightly. Both classes can MT with little trouble but Guards do have a few Tools that increase their durability. </p><p>Zerks do more DPS than guards but that is how we are built. Guards get the increase in Durability and we get the increase in DPS, especially in the AE department. Zerks still hold exellent Aggro, AE > Single. Guards hold aggro Single > AE.</p><p>Only complaint i have vs Zerks is the EoF tree is very weak and we are Very gear dependent.</p>
