(by a little bit) [Or threat %] [Or Strikethrough %]Why Damage Reduction? It's simple, watch X-men. (IM THE JUGGANAUT B.tch!)Why Autoattack Modifier? Berserker relies heavily on his auto-attack damage.

juggernaut is an offensive ability and should remain so, changing it to a defensive is further stepping on the toes of the guardian.i propose a flurry proc instead of the weak crit/ca mod that it currently does. as it sits it's mainly a solo ability which has no practical use because it is too offensive for a solo ability.

Talathion

Its to bad we can't hit anything, but it does not step on guardians toes, the effect kills your health and mana.That sounds very berserkish to me, and it kind of sucks for a solo ability since the ability would constantly be killing your mana.but I've always veiwed juggernaut as a defensive thing.Marauder is more of the offensive version of Juggernaut.

(10%)If you used adrenaline with that up you would run OOP so fast it wouldn't be up all the time.But thats besides the point, I always pictured juggernaut as a hard to kill object or person is all.Anyways, what do you think it should be if the cost was 1% power/health every 3 seconds and until canceled, that was a berserker ability? Besides damage reduction that is.How about Increases Strikethrough Chance by 20%.Increases Autoattack Modifier by 0.2.

I dont see a juggernaut as something unkillable, i defintiely see it as an offensive thing really.Juggernauts are unstoppable. Always moving forward. Winning. As a sports fan, we always talk about Offensive Juggernauts, never heard of a defensive juggernaut. Defensive Stalwart? Yes. The 2000 Baltimore Ravens were one of the most amazing defenses of all time, yet the only serach I come up with is saying "The Ravens may not have been an offensive juggernaut, but.." That's it.

it's just the NAME of an ability.. it does not mean it has to follow ANY rules for classification for offensive OR defensive.. it has ALWAYS been offensive at the cost of defensive.

Talathion

Well it can be an offensive spell, but if it lowers mitigation and avoidance AND kills you, then it should be a HUGE increase in DPS, and I think it should be until canceled.The AA in the berserker tree should be there to lower its penaltys by up to 10% per point spent.

Doesn't it give you potency and crit bonus, for a short duration? (if you put AA in) as far as I can see the major drawback is the health tick more than the parry/defence/small mitigation. I think the biggest concern over it is the +crit chance as you have since RoK been able to cap that out.If that was changed/removed to something else (along with executioner's wrath proc effect, I suppose) changed:"increase critical chance by 27.2%" to "increase melee weapon damage bonus by 15" (15%).It would make it a viable ability again. Tbh that's all that needs changing; (27.2% crit chance would have raised your autoattack damage; this is no different). Asking for inumerable and quite frankly massive defensive abilities as WELL as offensive ones is only going to get you laughed at and not taken seriously.

point is the ability isn't worth the negatives regardless, solo or in group. if you don't notice the debuffs enough to worry about it, then congrats to you, you probably have some awesome gear and many hours farming for it.of course for a benefit there should be a cost for this ability and i don't mind seeing the current cost remain but the beneficials need to be tweaked to be more worthwhile. as it sits its one of those skills that you look at on your hotbar and contemplate bothering to cast it, along with the 2 blue AEs and 1 green encounter AE, open wounds also is very weak at level 90 and needs a real AA to enhance it, not drop the recast on it ~15%, the AE damage component is a joke.

I agree it needs fixed but as others stated what you are asking for is over the top and sounds allot like some form of DA to me. Which you have asked for before hence why I used the referance again and asked you to roll a crusader if you want it. I realize that DA does nothing to increase Off stats or provide any Off benifit. I looks like you are asking for DA plus that though. So again have a nice day.

Sorry yes I am refering to the crusader skill since it seems like that is what Talathion wants. He wants to run around and take no damage ( for the most part ) other than what this spell would inflict and be able to put out loads of DPS and does not think that its OP in the least bit.

(thats alot of mana especially after you use adrenaline).But be a Defensive/Offensive buff.But Carry on.

1K damage every 3 sec and 300 Mana every 3 sec while the mana would be difficult to put back up to full I am sure it could be done but 1 k every 3 sec when you are not taking any other damage is easy even for a heroic ( non raid ) healer to keep up with at end game. Not OP at all But carry on.........

07-13-2011, 04:30 AM

Its still OP no matter how you look at it.You want basicly around a 20% damage reduce added to Juggy or ( change it to that either way ) That the trade off is it pulls health and power from you a X% per tick for health and 300 power per tick every 3 sec. Untill cancled or you run out of health or power.Keeping the number simple here lets say you have 20,000 health and 10,000 power ( yes I know these are not the right numbers but going for simplicity here )1% ( this is the % that you asked for at first ) of 20k health is 200 even if you take the flat rate of 200 untill you run out of health the it would take 5 Min to run out of health. Even if you go with 1k per tick its still 1 min which any decent healer at 90 can cover 1k every 3 sec esp if you are taking 1K less damage every sec.At 10K power with each tick taking 300 power it would take 1 Min 35 ish sec ( it works out to be 1.6 min )Now this effect would stay on till cancled or you run out of power well I can take a lv 39 Warden and cover the 200 health every 3 sec easy would be too easy for an end game healer even one that had been PL'd and no gear. The power would be easy to cover also with a Dirge or Troub not even taking in to consideration Illy or Coer which would cover it so much better. Ok now lets say you are actually fighting in a heroic zone every one has about the same gear its decent its at lv you have the correct class's how much harder do you think it would be for them to cover the cost of that lil ablilty that is reducing the damage you take by 1K ever sec ( low balling it there ) by covering 200 health and 300 power every 3 sec. If you have a good group it would be so easy. Raids hell the zerk could just about go AFK if the DPS were to watch thier hate all. The healer would have it easier power regen would be working a lil harder ( maybe ). What you want is just way to OP and before you say well Adren takes 40% OK fine I will figure that out also.Hmm hit Juggy 20% damage reduce starts health and power tick lasts untill cancledHit Adren for anouther 50% damage reduce for 30 sec drops power by 40%Health ticks will still take forever to run out even easier to keep up with now as you are taking 70% less damage for 30 sec ( hell they might be able to go grab a soda out the fridge if its not to far away an you would not even notice they were gone )Power ticks hmm takes it down to 6k right off the top giving you still anouther 1 min before you run out. Still way easy for a decent power regen to fill you back up and not miss a beat.Now yes I realize that during this time you would be fighting and clicking things that would consume power but tbh how often do you run out of power right now when you pop Adren the only time I run out is when I am solo and have hit it more than 1 time or if I am in a group the Bard/Chanter dies or we just dont have one and I pulled the whole room and it took that long to kill. If you are in a raid and the MT runs out of health or power unless the OT is just as good or [Removed for Content] close its over anyway and well if you are counting on this change to enable you to tank things that you could not before maybe you should reroll.I realize that the numbers for Adren may not be correct as I am at work and not able to log in and look at it on my Zerk as I thought it had changed. I found the % on Wiki and it may have not been updated either way I think we can all agree now that is while it sound nice when you really look at the idea its not a good one and would just make us OP and FOTM.

Andrenaline now heals the zerker for 50% of the dmagae taken not 50% Damage reduction.But at the end of the day this has been designed as an OFFENSIVE short term buff one which reduces defence for the sake of offensive no matter what you may or may not seen in films. If we got everything we saw and liked in films we'll all be chuck norris.Right now the gains are few and the drawbacks (mainly health tick) cause many zerkers to think twice about casting it.It was designed at a time when 27% crit was a HUGE leap up in DPS as it was rare for any melee class to get over 30% crit chance; and casting it virtually doubled your chance to crit. Since you can cap crit now the offensive gains are vastly reduced so the additional crit chance needs to be reworked into a comparable offensive increase.30% Multi Attack or 15 Melee Weapon Bonus may not sound exciting as what you may want, but it would be a solid change which will allow you to temporarly increase your melee damage at the expense of some defence and keep in line with the orginal flavour of the spell.Adrenaline change was a really a blow to the clases survival... but at the end of the day you're meant to be the OFFENSIVE warrior in TSF running adrenaline gave you the best survivability out of *all* the tanks asking for massive damage redution on every ability since the change because you think that a beserker should be nigh invunrable whlist doing massive DPS is just not going to happpen.The beserkers of old times may have been frightning forces on the battle field ignoring wounds that would have felled a lesser man and leaving carnage in their wake... but in general they fought naked and if you chopped their head off they still died like everyone else they just overwhelmed their opponants by completely ignoring their own survival and as such were very hard to fight against - but not impossible.Juggernaut in the "drop defence for the sake of offense" is entirely within the lore of what a beserker is and whilst the offensive gains may not be as powerful as they once were asking for completly rediculous and significantly overpowered changes are just going to get your concerns ignored.

I can already tell you don't play a berserker...</blockquote>i never use defensive stance, i also rarely need to use adrenaline and i don't have uber gear or the best of healers in the game.don't disregard the POWER offset from arena in the stamina tree. 10% less may not sound like much but it has ALWAYS made a noticable difference to me. forget the heal proc, that was my point in the other thread, the point of that skill is using 10% less power across the board.if you need to pop adrenaline THAT much then perhaps you should be wearing gear with parry+defense versus offensive stats OR be using your defensive stance... you're not helping this argument which wasn't even about ADRENALINE.. the temp defensive buffs have always made a huge difference also, so i'f you're not utilizing them properly then you will be overworking your healers and they cost almost nothing compared to adrenaline.

Well said Lyger.I must have missed the part where he is not using the Stam endline. I thought that and the Str endline were pretty much a given once you have your myth or myth buff. The variable coming in as to if you took Int or Wis since the the Agi tree while yes it gives anouther AOE is kinda redundant once you have your myth or the buff.I admit that I DW in Def stance more than I run Off stance but that is a pref and I hardly ever have to hit adren unless its a PvP fight.

If its hit and miss with living try pulling a few less or try Def stance you should be able to hold aggro esp if the rest of your raid or group undersands why you are doing it and pay attention to thier threat. Threat is not just the tanks responsibility......
