Question about Berserker DPS

[Valkari_]

<DIV>Im a warlock, i play on the mistmoore server, and i have a question about something. I see lots of arguements on these boards, and mostly due to moorgards post about balancing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The question this: Is the damage reduced already on the berserker class from the big patch? or is this something that they are planing to do.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Because the program from Scouts Sanctuary shows the berseker POST BIG PATCH, still doing the highest damage (dps) and potential DPS in the game, of all classes, as of now.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>im just curious because people say the berserker is unplaying. Do they mean now? or do they mean when this happens?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>im confused, because if your unplayable with roughly 2x the dps of me, then what does that make me, at level 40, the warlock.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>anyways thanks, hope someone can answer.</DIV>

<DIV>Its the lvls 23-37 who have been hit by the DPS decrease, dont worry, the high lvl berserkers will be hit soon.  Dont misunderstand, we dont expect to be the best DPS in the game a well as a great tank, but for the loss of tanking ability we get we need good enough DPS for us to make up for it else we are no use to a group.</DIV>

I'm guessing, as you appear to be a 40something warlock, that you are playing with 40something zerkers who have been unaffected by this nerf. They have "un-nerfed"(wooo new word) buffs that still allow them to go beserk more than once per fight.

I know post 40 the berserkers are extremly good, atleast the ones I have grouped with post big patch. I can't really say about before that, like you said.</P> <P> </P> <P>So level 31ish berserkers are unplayable atm? but the level 40 berserkers are God like? hehe, at what point do they go from crap to gold? Is there a single spell they get or something?</P>

<DIV>Heh, aye, i certainly wouldnt say they were unplayable, not as fun but still ok, they just need a bit more fine tuning for the 23-37 lvl phase.</DIV>

<DIV>36 is very playable. I barely notice any difference. /shrug</DIV>
