Berserker buffs on MT

[Thug]

<DIV>What are the specific buffs a lvl 50 berserker should be using on a guardian MT when in the mt group?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Tonite our MT was only getting about 500 hps from the berserker and that seems kinda low. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.</DIV>

Firstly, make sure your Zerker has at least ad3 for all his buffs of all levels that are stackable, buff stacking is using buffs of the same type on the same timer but different tiers (thus it takes guards 4 minutes to buff properly) this clearly will change in the revamp. Vehmence should be used on the MT (no it's not broken, yes I can prove it) Keep anarchy up the second it is ready to fire, at ad3 it's 258 mitigation, thats a fair amount, if your Zerk cant controll his aggro and complains that anarchy will kill him, he just needs to learn a little aggro management <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I buff constantly during raids, most Zerk buffs are on relativly short timers and I have little to no aggro issues. As for what buffs stack and what don't, that I'll leave to your Zerk, it's not rocket science and it's something that every class should know, if they don't then they need to start experimenting to find out like the rest of us did <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Last but not least, it's not all about HP's, infact, it's hardly about HP's it's more about mitigating damage.... <div></div>

500 hp would be about two buffs. Probably has App1 of Destructive Rage and Screaming Fury on the tank. Probably isn't buffing Battle Tactics, and may not have Uthros's, which is a training spell like Battle Tactics that buffs HP. With only App1's and no Uthros, Zerker can add about 600HP. With App3's and Uthros, you can break 1k. As has been pointed out, all that goes away after the revamp. After the revamp, Zerker's contributions will be granting Berserks for additional haste, buffing Strength, HP regen, and mitigation/avoidance buffs. HP buffing the MT will be gone. <div></div>

I'm pretty sure my buffs add about 850 HPs using: Destructive Rage (Adept I) Screaming Fury (Adept I) Battle Tactics (Apprentice II) I also keep up: War Chant Tides of War Uthro's Defiant Cry (doesn't stack, but does add +4 spell avoidance) Vehemence (on MT) And like Strewth said, keeping Anarchy up as much as possible is a good idea if the zerker is careful about aggro. <div></div>

All the group buffs I can keep stacked at all times now at level 50 include: Destructive Rage (HP + haste) Screaming Fury (HP + haste) Battle Tactics (HP) Tides of War (DPS + haste) Bloodlust (DPS + haste) Call to Arms (DPS) War Chant (STR) And then there's Anarchy (MIT + chance to proc a special AOE CA) that's duration is much shorter than it's retimer so it can only be kept on part of the time. Unfortunately I did not get Uthro's Superior Tactics (HP +STR) or Defiant Cry (DPS + spell avoidance) when I had the chance to but I do have ad3 on all these that I do have now.  But if your zerker did get those special training spells then he should be using them as well.  I know that Superior Tactics will stack with Battle Tactics but I'm not sure if Defiant Cry will stack with Call to Arms.  If not then Defiant Cry should be used instead of Call to Arms. I hope this helps you.  Not that any of it will matter after the CC of course. <div></div>

I use my new training buff, "Fight like a Sissy" on all Gaurdians.
