Are Zerkers the FotM?

[Raage]

I just started a Zerk a couple of weeks ago (a different server than my lvl 70 monk, so I wouldn't be inclined to twink), and holy crap...it seems like every other LFG in chat is a lvl 20+ Zerk LFG. And when I went to go increase my harvesting/ foraging/ mining (which I had neglected until lvl 27) I bet the # of Zerks I saw in the newbie zones was EQUAL to the total of all other chars.Maybe it's just me noticing, or maybe it's just the server...but I sure feel like I picked the FotM...Not meaning that in a deragatory sense, but in a "drag, so much for being at least SEMI unique" sorta way.

:smileyvery-happy: I think that depends on the server I know on my server there are more shadowknights than anything. Zerks are fairly popular but most wont stick with it. If it bothers you that much switch to another server and start over <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>I think its just that you are noticing.  It's how life seems to work.  The bread always lands butter side down man...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Seems like sometimes when im playin my zerker thre is a healer shortage and when im playin my warden there is a tank shortage... go figure.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also they will thin out as you level I think.   People try lotsa new classes all the time but only some stick with it to the top.</DIV>

<DIV>Back when the game first came out I felt like I was one of the only Berserkers.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>People would ask me to evac because they thought I was some sort of plated scout.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Go figure.</DIV>

<P>Well on Butcherblock i was only berserker in my guild... and had not seen alot around either, where waaay more guardians... loved that, made me feel unique <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P>But transfered to Splitpaw (because im European) and now there are hundreds of them!!  I think quiet a few players may have rerolled berserkers for their DPS... which is an illusion anyway <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> - but thats for another thread</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

SHHH everyone - We all know that Berserkers rock for tanking and secondary DPS, but dont let everyone else know, especially the Devs. I can see the nerf now <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Looking for a pot to stir???

[sythys]

they aren't on Nagafen. Atleast not from what i've seen. The isle is filled with nothig but necros, brigands, and assasins. bah!<div></div>

[FightGame]

<DIV>ya really.  so you're saying just because we CAN tank (depending on gear, AA choices, etc.) and also CAN dps (again, depending), that the class should be nerfed?  I can think of several classes that can do more than one thing, when specced and played correctly.  So I guess nerf all them too?  Some utility does very nice DPS.  Some healers can do very nice DPS.  Some DPS classes don't do very well DPS, but maybe they offering some nice utility to other classes.  </DIV> <DIV>Based on your logic, just about every class needs a nerf.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have an idea.  Instead of going to the boards screaming nerf (on just about every class), why not ask the devs for harder content.  Would be the same thing wouldn't it?  Except people that love their class and the game won't feel gimped after the nerf, and possibly quit.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And we don't have to SHHHHHH  because people know that IF specced and played correctly, we can do this.  Just like many other classes can do more than 1 thing.   It's a well known fact that if you play with people that know their toon and have the gear, AA choices, etc, they bring more to the table.</DIV><p>Message Edited by FightGame on <span class=date_text>07-17-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:03 PM</span>

<DIV>I'm never lfg...I'm always in a group somewhere tanking something.</DIV>

I do watch class popularity on Splitpaw.Currently zerkers, pallies, monks and guards aren't that far apart, with SKs behind them, and bruisers very much last. Bruisers were last before their LU24 nerf too, so popularity doesn't relate to nerfability <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />But all tanks are well behind wizzes and necros/conjurors.Rangers and furies are the other two popular classes.

i play on permafrost and honestly I dont think there are many zerkers on the server.  i rarely see any looking for group, except for a few here and ther (i know most of them).  I would say there are far more guardians than zerkers on Permafrost.  shrug<div></div>
