<DIV>Ok ive been scaning the boards lately to try to figure this out but i have come up with mix choices. At the moment i play  a 44 berserker. Im thinking im ganna mt most of the time. raids groups excetra and so on. my question would be is there that big a difference in a gaurd and a zerker? from what ive read there really isnt that much difference but i wasnt sure. Thanks again for your guyses answeres when they come in <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Airies/Exacutionar/Tinyex The founders of the rat pack</DIV>

<DIV>zerk a bit more offeinsive, guard a bit more defensive.  both make excellent tanks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>choosing one over the other will not leave you "gimped", just a matter of playstyle. </DIV>

<DIV>Aye the essential difference is what Arieste said.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You cannot play a guardian the way you play a zerker and u cannot play a zerker the way you play a guardian.  Thats enough to give a good deal of seperation between the two classes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The Berserker will maintain agro on large groups as well as a single target... its agro maintainance (i.e. gain/reduction etc) is in the most part <STRONG>DPS</STRONG>!!  Guardians have a greater range of CAs that allow them to maintain agro <STRONG>directly</STRONG> i.e. via <STRONG>taunts, deagro</STRONG> buffs etc.  They also greater unique abilities to help them against big single target encounters... i.e. Tower of Stone, Obliterate.  Zerkers dont have these abilities but they are dps factories, and in a raid a raid force is <STRONG>faaaarrrr </STRONG>more able to unleash its <STRONG>FULL </STRONG> dps, <STRONG>sooner</STRONG>, on a group of adds is a zerker is tanking then a if a guardian is tanking em.   Imo guardians might have the slightest of edges on orange mobs, because they have more direct taunts, and if they fail to land they regen ALOT quicker then CAs do... and they chew less power up DPS too is highly variable on mob, if a mob resists alot of physical damage and is orange, then its a little harder for zerkers.  But a zerker is still able to tank ANY mob in game, unless specifically designed not to (i.e. 3princes proc).  I have tanked every T7 epic mob (inc matron, tari n chel)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Vladnor The Berserk</DIV> <DIV>70 Berserker</DIV> <DIV>Unity</DIV> <DIV>Splitpaw</DIV>
