When i was gettin my [Removed for Content] beat becuz i guess i missed the patch notes that made my shield (Deputys Badge) not usuable for another 2 lvls, i thought this:Berserkers use their offensive abilities to take down a target faster to make up for fact our defense isnt all that great. So if they reduce our damage even further (which is a distinct possibility) how will this affect berserkers especially 40+ where the mobs hit harder and have more hp. Will we be reduced to bad versions of guardians if these changes take place..... this isnt a rant or complaint jus something that came to mind whilst grouping today.

<DIV>Currently, if my group fights more than one mob at a time, I can usually outdamage any scout class. Fighting just a single pull at a time I don't do as well. I'm not that bad, I'm just not as high as a ranger or assassin for example. Some of the damage is spread out on several mobs but if I'm doing at least as much or more than other tanks on the primary mob, and the next mob we switch to is already in the yellow or orange for health... well, I guess you can do the math. I think that the main problem right now is that Berserks can combine their Single mob attacks with their AOEs/Encounter-based attacks against a single mob to outdamage or at least keep up with the scout classes. Normally this isn't very mana efficient but if you need to rest anyway between pulls for other group members then you might as well dump most of it and make the fight go quicker.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The idea of nerfs suck, but I don't think it will be as bad (or as exaggerated) as many believe it will be. AT least lets hope not :smileysurprised:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
