<p>I am going to make and keep this, a nice simple post; straight forward, and to the point.</p><p>I honestly feel that if there was Any tank who was Most viable to receive a 'Riposte-based Parry move' within TSO expansion, it was without a shout of a doubt, the Berserker. I mean let's face it, who in your honest opinions, would be more likely to sustain such an evasive-tactic, 'as the riposte'? The fierce shadowknight: a Crusador of dark-powers, and formidable might, OR The maniacal Berserker: a Warrior of enraged-calibration, and combat-efficiencies? A Tough one? Well, I know who I'm voting for - ... Definitely would have to be the maniacal Berserker, in my book.</p><p>Now, I'm not even saying that the SK should or shouldn't get what they now have - not saying to remove or change their present abilities, ... but what I am saying is, Give MY class what it deserves. And, think what you all want, but if the SK, gets such a powerful 'Melee' ability. ... Well then, without question the Berserker(the more[and Most] melee oriented class altogether) should have received something of a similar calibration.</p><p>What I am saying is; more simply put: Give the Berserker a less potent version of the SK's TSO AA-final, at LEAST of the 'Riposte/Parry' portion if Nothing else. By less potent, I mean something that would not even be near as broken or overpowered as what the SK's gets(because we ALL know that it is).</p><p><strong>I want to see an ability granted to the Berserker that would allow it to: for X amount of time</strong>(whatever amount would be feasible for such an ability), <strong>The Berserker converts ALL and ANY parry he performs, into an automatic riposte</strong>(from frontal based attacks)<strong>.</strong> <strong>A buff of some sort one places on themselves, thus granting them that ability for whatever length of time.</strong> --- Now that to me, is just simply something that the Berserker would and truly Should aquire. I mean we are the Masters of Masters when it comes to melee-combat, therefore I think they would be very likely to aquire such a skill, through their seasoned expiriences. [Maybe it could be a REAL alternative/replacement for the now, worthless 'Gut-Roar' ability. (:]</p><p>Think about it Long and Hard people, please. The Berserker in my opinion would be far more likely to return an attack, when attacked. Such an ability, I have indirectly requested(merely suggested) actually makes perfect sense. Unlike the over-powered, broken, piece of crap, physical-invulnerability like that of the Berserker's distant cousin's(SK's).</p>

Whenever possible I ditch my shield and bust out my off-hander.</p>

Can't speak for TSO, but just about every RoK boss can be dual wield tanked if your gear is good enough and your healers don't suck.</p>
