At 60, there should be no excuse to loose charge. Evasive Smash replaces block skill at 60. If the boss tells you he is going to hit, dodge. That DPS is stored, and you can run to any mobile boss before unleashing it. Seen too many zerks block to cancel, just cause that was protocol from lvl1-59. Also, I think 50%hp crystals are made for zerks, considering the overcharging consuming hp.

People need to think through this game a little bit more. Stacked 50% crystals would put zerks above any class in DPS. Healers just need to be skilled enough to keep them at the 50% mark.

This would also make the term "Berzerker" make more sense, seeing as the dmg would increase based on how bloodied up they are.

If they balance the zerk, I hope they simply up the DPS, instead of giving them tanking ore more abilities. I love the class as is. I honestly think I just need to experiment more with builds and crystals. Even without the 50% crystals, Zerks DPS fine, as long as they are skilled. I can't believe how many zerks in my guild think evasive smash is a waste of skill, and don't even have it binded.

Next hurdle is trying to convince healers to leave us at 50%. With a dodge and block, we should be able to survive below 50.

There is plenty of excuse to "loose" a charge at 60. Evasive smash is a 15 second cooldown for one. For another, tons of dungeon bosses end game will just back up right into you with no forewarning. Also I'm not feeling the 50% crystal idea.

The problem with beserkers is not mobility. i dont know why stupid people keep bringing up the mobility argument.

The main problem with beserkers is that they are super vulnerable to damage and/or interruptions during their 3 second charge.

If im 1 nano-second away from a full 3 stage charge but then i get touched by the softest basilisk hands, i have just wasted 3 seconds of potential DPS.


Its pretty easy and simple to fix:

1. make it so that beserkers cannot be interrupted when they are charging for an attack by attacks or damage. (stuns and sleeps in PVP for example are exceptions and will still affect them)

2. beserkers take 50% less damage when charging.

3. beserkers gain 30 movement speed when charging.


logic:

1. this makes beserkers invulnerable to DPS loss without making them OP in PVP. they can still be interrupted by actual interruption skills.

2. warriors takes 50% less damage when they do just about everything. they can take a piss and be 50% more resistant to incoming damage. there is no reason why beserkers who basically paint a 3 second bullseye above their heads every time they charge an attack cannot share this mechanic.

3. this will help beserkers close gaps for their charged attacks. beserkers have no gap closers at all in PVP and i feel that they need a little help.

These changes target the root of the problem - the charging mechanic, without changing beserkers into something else in terms of play-style or functionality.

problem solved.

I like how everyone just overlooked my thread, too busy posting in troll or QQ threads to notice lol.

Regardless both threads have the same info.
