<p>I know there is alot going on right now with rebalancing the fighter archtype in general, but it seems two aspects of the berserker class has been overlooked. Self sustaining health pool, and maintaining threat. Paladins have amends. Monks and bruisers have hostility, and a multitude of other things. Sks, jesus everything about an sk generates hate. Guardians have a single target siphon, a group siphon, a single target dehate buff, and a guardian aa that increases threat in general, and another option that increases threat even further above 80 %.</p><p>Now, im going to restrict this portion of to just the equivalent in subclass. Berserkers have zero buffs which increase health pool, that isnt offered to everyone else. lets take a look at Guardian. Battle tactics. Iron will. Call of shielding. Enhanced call of shielding. it works out to a 7k differance in self sustaining health pool. I dont know the health capabilities of brawlers well, but i know knights can get absured numbers.</p><p> Now this isnt really a big gripe for me, since I play a guardian for my raiding. Im betrayed right now to check out the reckless stuff and changes to fighter heals, but a Guardian is my love. I just dont see how all the reckless in the world is going to fix a class that is fundamentally useless in general if it cant compete with the other ones in the important area of fighters, and thats tanking. My 2 cents.</p>

<p>I would say the bigger problem that zerkers face right now is, they are the only tank class to not get strikethrough immune. Yes they can get it off Dragoon Reflexs but is SOE saying that the only way for them to get ST immune to to take a worthless AA line? Why did they not get it? B/c they dont have any ability that gives them a  20% boost to avoid which leads to the other major problem with this class no real tanking skills. So before they go trying to give them hate give them things to live with when they get that hate. (My comments are geared more toward the raiding zerker, the group zerker may experience some of these issues.)</p>
