Returning player.... lost

[EdgeO]

Hello fellow Berserkers, I am returning from about 4 months away from the game.  I am a level 26 Berserker currently feeling like a level 5.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I am not sure what skills are new since the combat change.  I upgraded and made some changes.  My gear is mostly orange.  Yet I am really stinkin it up right now.  I walked into the haunted mansion and got killed 4 times by level 26 spiders, LOL. I am looking for some friendly advice or a point in the right direction if you don't mind: - What are some of my key skills at level 26?  (assuming much has changed with combat upgrade) - Should I be able to take on even level opponents? - Is there any information regarding the new combat skills for the zerker that would be useful to me? I am sure I am rusty and not knowing how to play my character at the moment, but I feel like I got nerfed and playing a different class all together for some reason.  Thank you for any and all constructive advise. <div></div>

I wrote up a CA list that graphically shows which CAs you should have on your hotbars at every level. However, I don't have a way to post it to the internet.If one of you want to post it, send me your email address and I'll send it to you. I have Excel and HTML versions.Thanks-RJ-

basically edgeone combat changes have put more seperation amongst the classes in style. each class has a "forte" sorta say. zerkers are now ae specialists. we really shine when encounters are multiple mobs. not to say we dont tank single encounters ok. but imo best thing you can do is embrace what were good at and that is multi-mob encounters. best thing you can do is just get out there and play with your stances and weapons. i think i can speak for alot of us when i say it took awhile to get used to the combat changes ..................so just practice practice practice. <div></div>

Thanks folks, this should go a long way in helping out.  I am already starting to do a little better and getting back to normal.  I lost a few skills and a gained a few in the changes and respec. <div></div>
