What buff to sacrifice for Byzola's earring?

[ZerkerDwarf]

<p>What buff do you fellow berserkers sacrifice for Byzola's earring?</p><p>STR / AA-enhanced STR ?</p><p>Aggro-when-being-hit?</p>

<p>I was discussing this with some other Berserker's in the worldwide channel, and Norgoz pointed out something I missed entirely. Drop Rouse. 150 STR means jack these days, and the 100 +CA/Spell is minimal for a lot of players as well.  Unfortunately I only brought this up in the WW channel after I foolishly agreed to let another tank have the next round of Ill Wills. /facepalm.</p>

<p>i drop my raid wide cus we run 2 zerk cus zerks pwn and guards are useless imo</p>

Or just betray to a guard, we have a spare slot to use. It's funny, but last time I checked I was outparsing my Zerk in a raid. But it's all relative I guess.

<p>why would you want to be a guard in TSO over a zerk?</p><p>oh yeah.. for the extra concentration slot!</p>

<p>Half the zerker abilities are useless anyways. We still awesome without them though. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>i have always suspected our self zerk really was not doing anything for me, I assume they do not stack, but do we spend more time zerk if we have both running or will group zerk alone maximize the benefit...</p><p>Im not focused enough to actually look at which one is running and how they overwrite...</p>
