Can i tank?

[Skrigg]

Hello all, just looking for some advice here, ive read alot about some changes to the berserker class and im wondering if, assuming i play well can i tank as a berserker for small groups? Not really going to ever be a raid tank just my 3 other friends and myself usually.  If i keep my gear updated, can i still tank and do decent dps if i want to be solo or with a duo healer? Im going the Str/stam line. Or should i just reroll to a gaurdian and save myself the pain of not being able to hold aggro or take huge hits later on in the game like ive heard people talk about?Thanks <div></div>

No, Berserkers cannot tank and they will never tank! MWUAHAHAHAHA!j/k...Berserkers are great small group tanks imo. And yes, we CAN indeed tank in our plate armor and sheilds that we can use!<div></div>

<DIV>Zerkers are great tanks for groups and overall are well rounded for it, even raids they are a good pick.</DIV> <DIV>Good dps good defense, what more could you want =)</DIV>

Nah mate, I am a complete noob (refugee from SWG/WoW) and my Berzerker tanks great. It is a matter of doing enough damage while spamming your two taunts constantly for me. It is fun watching your character keep spinning and hacking insanely, then stop and growl at your enemy. Much more rewarding then.. ugh. WoW.

Nice little passvise ability there.  Going full Offince, and not suffering from loss of megations you still have your base migation, and and all the O-stance buffs. </P> <P>But its your zerker you make him/her however you want there are many diffrent play sytles. Just be rest assured zerkers can still tank in small group, large group, small raids, large raids, and we can back up tank as well incease crap hits the fan. </P>
