Berserker in Training....

[PowerC]

<DIV>Happily, last night I finished my fighter prograssion, and am ready to ding to become a true tough guy....berserker extrordinaire.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As I am reading a ton of the posts on this part of the board, I realize that I just might not know as much about my skills as I thought I did.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One of my favorite part of being a Warrior/Berserker wannabe, is the flexibility of the role. Coming from playing assassin, where basically, I grab the two best weapons I can find and start whacking away at anything that moves. Tons of fun, but it gets little old.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The complexity of the Warriors is so much fun, becuase you get to pull out your Big A-- Whooping Stick, your 2 best dualies, or shield up and "Hunker Down".</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Amidst all of this weapon swapping and fun times, I really don't have a clue about my buffs. Is there anyone out there that can lay out a good plan for soloing? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Basically, I inderstand that if I am almost out of power, maybe I should Hunker Down for a bit. But when should I use Soldier's Stance? (I assumed that because of it's legnth, I should always have it running). As I progress into my Berserker, I want to know a general idea of what sort of things are good for me when I'm soloing....grouping buffs are pretty evident.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for any help!!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Factor Phiction 25 Assassin</DIV> <DIV>Powercat          19 Warrior</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Basically keep your Soldier's Stance and Focus Rage always on. Soldier's Stance will help on your defense sacrificing just a bit off offense and Focus Rage will help you proc "berserker" status more often.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At 22 you will get Fury, try and keep it on also, it will raise your chances to riposte when attacked. At 23 Bloodlust will buff your attack and gives you a chance to berserk when you hit.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Use your range weapon or Anger (ranged taunt) to pull mobs and if grouped, at 22.6 you get Enrage (AE taunt) that besides drawing more aggro to you, gives you a good chance to berserk.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just remember, at lower 20s you are still practically a Warrior, keep it up and at later levels you will see the Zerker in you coming out. There are a lot of good skills for our class and specially after 30 you will notice how unique your class is.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>We can solo great and be great Tanks or off-tanks when grouped.  When tanking i usually use 1h and shield, when off-tank im all 2h or dual wield.  When soloing,  depending on # of mobs, i either use shield  or am all offense without one.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Enjoy your Zerker  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
