Proud to have just qualified Berserker but...

Hello fellow Zerkers. I just got Berserker and was wondering how Focus rage works. Sorry to be asking such a novice question, but I'm yet to see myself "go Berserk". thanks in advance and happy hunting!

<DIV><FONT color=#6666ff>Focus Rage</FONT> : Allows a berserker to sometimes go berserk when taking damage. A berserker gains increased damage and attack speed while berserk.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So if you are main tank this helps alot, higher level of the spell would make it proc more often, but we arent sure we are getting the quailty we should be on our spells as yet.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Taemek Frozenberg 32nd Berserker<BR>10th Outfitter<BR>Leader of Justice Bringers<BR>Everfrost Server<BR><BR>Aonein Amillion 26th Monk ( retired )<BR>17th outfitter<BR>Everfrost Server<BR><BR>Enlightened Aonein Amillion ( retired )<BR>70th Stone Fist of The Celestial Fist<BR>Five Rings on Luclin Server<BR><BR>"We are the two halves of the Flowing Circle, the light and the dark. If either grows too weak or too strong, the circle collapses on itself. Here, I will draw a Flowing Circle in the sand for you. Meditate upon the dual nature of our order and ourselves as you practice Kitten Swims Upstream. Perhaps, if you learn something from your meditations, Brother Tenshin will teach the kitten to become a tiger."</DIV>

Reak when do i get enraged?

[Diabol]

<DIV>enrage - 22.6, upgrade to shout.</DIV>

[Danol]

thanks

[Darkd]

<DIV>you will definately zerk more when tanking than when off tanking.  </DIV>

<DIV>When not tanking its way too hard to berserk, but get yourself focus rage app3 or adept 1 and when tanking you'll find yourself in berserk state alot</DIV>

[Diabol]

<DIV>and when you get Enrage (22.6 i think) - its your AOE taunt upgrade to shout - upgrade it right away and use it often, even when tanking singles, it procs berserk often.  The power cost isn't much higher than anger.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When you're not MT be careful with it of course, but you should still be able to use it some if the MT is worth his salt.  Also you got Stand Firm at 18, its a single target defensive buff that works kind of like intervene.  Drop it on the MT frequently, this will help you get some milage out of focus rage, as well as mitigate some of his damage without the healer needing to worry about it.. I use it a lot, they rarely even notice i took a few hits.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Diaboliq on <span class=date_text>01-21-2005</span> <span class=time_text>11:48 AM</span>
