There is a clear and absurd miscalculation between the amount of dmg warriors recieve, give, and heal for versus crusaders making them an utterly useless class to pvp with until I'm hoping T6.

My personal story:

  • 29 Champ Zerker (my group does all the work)
  • Max AA in all the right places. WIS line maxed.
  • Fully adorned.
  • 3 peices of noxious resist jewelry.
  • 2 pieces of WIS MC jewelry. (for resists)
  • Character Traits specd for disease resist.
  • Fully mastered.

Level 21 SK > 29 zerker

Level 24 SK > 29 Zerker | This guy didnt even HT me, didnt matter though becuase I couldnt even do 10% damage to him before I died.


Dont give me that 'no skill' crap, I'm warrior, all I do is push combat abilities and pop cure potions. Not too much skill required.

I'll get another cruader to 1v1 me and parse it for proof....soon before I /delete and roll crusader like everyone else.

My suggestions to improve zerkers:

  • Increase chance to trigger  "Blood Rage" or increase heal amount.
  • Add significant resists to "Wall of Rage" and the other temporary defense buffs.

yes, SKs are without a doubt way OP in t2-6 at least...

the damage they can put out, their survivability, and their lifetaps make them a force to be reckoned with...

ask anyone, who they would prefer to have as a MT in a pvp group (at least in t2-7), the answer will be either an SK, or a pally...to pick anything else your simply gimping yourself...

I think I played with you the other day on my bruiser...Tessh...

you were with a bunch of new pvpers from your guild maybe?

but yea, I was just trying to support your argument : )

I'm all for *cough* buffing other classes, or *cough* bringing others down to size.

Crusaders are very op in T2-T7. And slightly OP in T8.

They need to be nerfed, its pretty obvious. Even the SKs I know admit it.

To the OP the reason why you lost is because of your aa line.

 Dont get me wrong I am sure this is just a smurf log in for ya as you prolly dont want people to know who you are but tbh the Wis Line is a great AA line for PvP spec as you get Belly Smash which lowers mit and does damage also stance master so you can PvP in Def stance with higher mit but no hit pen or in Off stance with no mit pen.  Also there is a ability in there that increases your mit if I remember properly and the added wis raises your overal resists so the Wis line is pretty [Removed for Content] good for PvP tbh. 

Are there other ines that coud do this or that yes there are but tbh since they nerfed zerker health reg accrossed the board ( not that it was that great pre mid T6-T8 anyway ) the gains you get at low lv for specing into the health reg buffs does nothing when fighting other players with how DPS is esp when fighting an SK that pulls a higher % of health from you with taps and stuff than you can reg in combat with out even hitting you with auto attack.

Ive respec'd like 10 times. Today I went STA and INT.

I agree Curs3, I'd like to see zerkers "numbers" come up before nerfing another class. Hell, even brusiers are better tanks than zerkers.

I suppose thats something to look forward to in many many many months from now.

Bottom line, Pre T8 Zerkers need some DEV love.

I cant think of one class a zerker could beat 1v1... Maybe a scout if they didnt know how to kite.

Hmm I remember when SK's were weak as hell like a year ago..  About that time I made a high elf SK and got to 20 an dlocked.. I got him to Champ still at level 20 just by HTing people with titles lol.  That was some fun though, [Removed for Content] so many Q's of their titles with a high elf and a insta-kill button.  I think I was about the only SK around at that time.

I believe he was talking about SKs in T8 if you read the posts just before his, but maybe I'm wrong.

Except by buffing classes you are in effect giving a relative nerf to all other classes that didn't get a buffin addition to the PVE encounters. You can't just keep buffing classes to the level of the overpowered ones or you will destroy the game and everyone will basically be in god mode. Kinda like the crusaders and non-bard scouts are now.

Crusaders were never really weak, people just sucked at playing them. Can't blame people for crying because they can't press a few buttons and win. I remember on my SK (way before the buff) clicking Death March and spamming my spell rotation and just watching whoever I was fighting for the most part blow up.

Non-bards... one sec let me catch my breath, I was laughing too hard. Bards in T8 are monsters if played with any kind of intelligence. Especially when a Dirge can destroy you with autoattack.

I think that was his point.

However it may make the game like that, its not my place to ask to nerf another class.  But i am a berserker so i can ask to de-nerf mine SMILEY

To the OP...

I really don't see the significance to class balance by pitting the two classes in question against each other in a 1v 1. Especially in a tier that SKs are known for being OP. While I am not disagreeing with you, I really think you are going about it the wrong way.

You do realize that WIS line (besides 4-1) is absolutely terrible right?

If you're max AA at level 29 you should be 4-4-8 STR 4-4-8 STA and 4-1 INT and working on getting 4-1 for belly smash. That is your problem, your terrible use of AAs.

Because if the classes would be balanced then this:

Yes, I know what class balance is. But, I also realize there are far too many variables to judge them based on a few 1 vs 1's. 1 vs 1's should never be used when talking about balance. Some classes are and will always be stronger in different aspects of the game. Again, I never said I disagree'd with the OP. I said he was going about it the wrong way. While I can agree that crusaders have too much atm. I can't agree with basing balance on the previously mentioned fights.

Try a equally geared bruiser at end game on an enchanter and tell me about it ...

This is nothing new classes have always been inbalanced especially in their teens where some classes already have some nice flashy nukes (fury ?) when others are still struggling with weak CAs and auto attack SMILEY

then you should understand the plight of the OP : )

currently, there is no point to play anything other than a pally or sk in the lower tiers for a tank.

that makes it kind of boring...

If they couldn't heal so well, they wouldn't be the only tank for PvP.  They can out lifetap a Necro; I'd be ticked if I had a Necro.  I mean, isn't that the Necro's bread & butter?

They should switch it.  Give the necro all the cool and effective lifetaps the SK gets and give the SK the very small and not so effective lifetaps the necro's have.  As it stands right now the SK's lifetaps are actually noticeable when you get into a fight where as the necro's are not.
