Dueling Zerkers

[FlameingInfer]

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=3>The first day DoF went live I was a very very very unhappy person. Zerkers seemed to be the worst class EVER!  Now that its been a while I am takeing more of a likeing to our new class.  First day I got my @$$ handed to me several times in dueling, and a Wiz took me out in one hit!  A CLOTH WEARING MIDGET! needless to say I was almost done with the game at that point!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=3> More and more I enjoy this class, at present point. I have been able to defeat 3 lvl 52 Guards 2 lvl 52 Wizzys several times in a row and a few others not worth mentioning. Yet I am 4/5 lvls below these people.  Once you figure out how to play the new class its great!,  I am wearing Feysteel armor ( yes at my lvl it is still better than common T5 and Im so close to lvl 50 I am not going to waist my ebon, already have 6 cobalts and 3 pearls!) and I have Mess Seargents Cleaver 2h fabled axe (nothing real great but its nice)  I have found the key is to keep them stuned! I put on my cedar shield when the duel starts hit weapon guard and anarchy and when the battle begins slam them with the shield and quickly throw on your 2h axe (keep a bag open) then alternate stun/interupt abilitys and high damage abilitys ( use the AOE stuns also!) and throw the shield back on as soon as that ability is ready to go again!   I am pretty pleased at how things are going for Zerkers really. When decked out in full cobalt I am hopeing to have more raid tank work! But only time will tell.   Keep your heads up and your hands down guys!  It could be worse!!!</FONT></DIV><p>Message Edited by FlameingInferno on <span class=date_text>09-20-2005</span> <span class=time_text>08:25 AM</span>

you sure like red. i can't say much about deuling sinc ei haven't doen any. But pve combat revamps are evil. thats what i thought for a while. sure battles don't last as long and so not as much power is taken up. but i found it very unpredicatble with me winning 1 battle and losing the next. i can't even run when i know i have lost. But then i got into a group and the combat changes where alot better. taunts now are alnmost instant, defensive group moves are more better and now don't take up any conc which is great.

At lvl 45 I was able to beat a 43 wizard with ease, but was destroyed 3 times by a 47 Guardian...I could barely hit him and he sat there undressing himself while we were fighting (funny).  I tried offensive and defensive 1hnd and 2hnd and nothing happend.  Are 2 lvls really that big of a deal?
