zerkers

tass · 04-04-2006, 04:58 AM

ok i just came back after a while of leaving my zerker to play other chars. i come back and start to play him some more cause he's the only tank i got. so my question is why cant he land hits on stuff? his slashing is maxed out for his sword he has great stats everything where it should be all adept 1 spells and yet as i hit my spell buttons i see miss. miss miss? in the end the only thing that has a decent shot is my sword which thankfully i spent the cash on fabled to hit higher. a grp of 3 arrow down lv 32 orcs beat the hell outa my zerker in all his plate glory while i just swung happily away as I watched there evil dots stack and stack as they dodged my skills. [Removed for Content] is there mayhaps some way of attacking the enemy so maby some of my spells do hit the enemy or are zerkers just a [Removed for Content] cripple that needs to get into a grp for debuffs? my wizard at that lv could have wiped that grp even with them beating on him.

Were you in defensive stance that lowers your attack skills?

A LOT of mobs now riposte, parry, dodge, block, ect more frequently than before. I've noticed it a lot in KoS

What was your level compared to the mobs? This has a lot to do with hits and misses. Also as the previous poster said lots of parryies since kos came out. At lvl 65 fighting a lvl 63 one arrow down mob I will miss almost half of my swings with a maxed our skill bar.

the mob was 3 arrows down and 4 lvs lower. the fight lasted a bit because of my armor but they beat the bejesus outa me with there multuiple dots and dodging.

At first I thought you were fighing orange mobs or something, but wow, blues and greens?

I got no idea, I fight three blue mobs all ^ and i beat the heck out of them. Green ^^^ not too hard either.

Three down arrows?? I can stand there for 30 minutes and not die.

We are not [Removed for Content], you gotta be missing something somewhere. Maybe you are in offensive stance with dual wield or something. I solo best even with sword and board, all defensive. Penalties only come with auto attacks, CA still work the way they are designed.

Find some solo green mobs and work it out, I am sure you will figure it out, don't get too discouraged, its gotta be something.

Impossible to believe. I am level 35 serker here, I can battle with level 36-37 yellow con solo mobs (no arrows down) without my hp dropping and still manage to kill them fast.

However, it is a different story with orange cons. I don't know why, but they seem to parry 90% of my attacks and I always ended up getting killed.

I can also kill upto level 29+++ heroics without much of a problem solo.

Could be a bug?

This is a long shot, but you mentioned that you came back after a long break. Did you reset your hotbars to take account of the CA revamp after LU whatever it was? As I said this is a long shot and I am sure you did, but just in case it might pay to have a look. If you haven't then virtually none of your CA's would be working, nor would most of your buffs, making you more susceptible to being hit.

I know that when I came back after a long hiatus I had to start my hotbars from scratch.
