What is the Berserker supposed to be good at now?

[Reol]

<DIV>So we are nerfed, and everyone is rejoicing....thanks everyone...remind me to dance on your grave at your funeral too.....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My question i guess is this......what are we supposed to be good at...someone else brought it up...and I do have to agree...I have a bruiser and hes good at dps and not taking damage...what does a berserker get...besides guardians smirking that they are not the better tank?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I still think SOE should go and rebuild our class to better suit a dps user...if that means dropping us down to a chain armor fighter with moderate mitigation and avoidance...im all for it but GIVE us back our [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] DPS...you idiots.</DIV>

<DIV>Second best tank, and still a very good damage dealer</DIV>

<DIV>Yup. I think you should just try him out how the Zerker is now.. if not I dont think of anything else than changing your class for Guardian or something. I stick with the Berzerker no matter what <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Good Luck!</DIV>

BH's in swg was great, if you knew how to play them... unbeatable in pvp and great dmg dealers in pve... It wont mater how mutch the "up" or "nerf" our chars, all that maters is that you need to know how to play them. Know your wekness/strenth and play from there.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I loved BH's in swg even though they where bugged... and i love zekers in eq2 even though they are "nerfed" so mutch as everyone says... well acctually, a zerker is not supposed to be the best dps dealer in the game. they are meant to be an offensive tank, that meaning better dps then guardians for the cost of a bit less defence. Just keep that in mind and please stop whining about how zerkers are nerfed to nothing, cus that is false! Zerkers are a great class. If you know how to play them. same with all classes accutally, you have to know how to play and what your class can do. know your limits and play by them. </DIV>

<DIV>We are supposed to be good at not being good at anything, I am sure I will have to beat the tells asking me for a group away with a bat....:smileysad:  </DIV>

[Sinkat]

<DIV>I think it depends alot on how you play.. in varies a class alot, so some play better than others, yes. But thats not what your discussing, your discussing about how good the class is, and there always is going to be people that play better than others, so for the ones that play better a class is better, for the wans that dont play so well, the class isnt as good.. so if you keep on arguing about the class you wont get to anything and will never end these discussions about the nerf. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So maybe we should all just try out the Berzerker as it is and enjoy it, or change to another class that suits you more. Hope everybody can enjoy the game as it is suposed to..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Good Luck!</DIV>

<DIV>or maybe we can try another game where the developers don't change their minds months into the game and screw a good portion of the players of that class. No i'm not talking about the nerf, i'm talking about the change in how the Berserker was intended to play. Its perfectly clear originally it was supposed to play as many thought based on the description, high damage low def. But some time in beta people whined and got the Def buffed. Well to balance that out the damage had to come down, but this didn't happen till live. Now we have all those people who wanted slightly higher DPS tanks saying things like "if you arn't happy now its because you can't play your class". Which is a load of Feces. Anyone with a speck of common sence and a minor knowledge of the english language would have taken the Berserker class as described as a high damage low defence class. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>How good the class is depends on what you want out of it. If you want say... a Berserker you have been sadly misled. If you want a slightly angry but a bit wimpy tank you will be very happy. </DIV>
