Everquest 2 website needs some rewriting

[Daun]

<DIV>"Berserkers are chaotic warriors who inflict <FONT color=#ff0000>heavy</FONT> damage with all manner of weapons. Their furious attacks overwhelm their opponents to whom they show no mercy"</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> This comes from the official Everquest II website and the Everquest II manual in reference to the Berserker subclass of the warrior.</DIV> <DIV>It seems to me that Berserkers, as this statement implies, should actually do "<FONT color=#ff0000>heavy</FONT> damage" against opponents, however, the new combat system has Berserkers in the second <FONT color=#ffff00>lowest </FONT><FONT color=#ffffff>dps</FONT> group. I find this very frustrating because I like many other players read the website and/or manual to get an idea of what the classes would be like before we played them. Now SOE is turing things around on us and the class I have played all the way to 50 is being nerfed down to the second lowest dps group.</DIV> <DIV> I understand that SOE needs to balance out classes. What I don't understand is why the website still has this statement about berserkers even though it is going to be completely untrue. </DIV> <DIV>  </DIV>

people new to the game read the website for info. They should not have to search through the Dev's post to make sure the front page info is correct. I agree the website needs revamping-as a whole.And even though I play a berserker, I believe some well played guardians out there would have words with you Ariven about who can hold better aggro or tank

I dont see other tanks having quite the lock on agro that we do...so they can debate all they want... if they are good at holding agro, they are probably playing their class right...   it doesn't mean that we dont have better tools to keep agro...  </span><div></div>
