hmm, they said that we would never fall behind ktera, that would leave us roughly a quarter of a year behind them (if it comes in QoA2)

This is the same fallacious trap that lineage and aion players fell into and it's a really sleazy community tactic. "Oh it's not ncwest's fault, it's THOSE EVIL KOREANS!111". Now we are suppose to believe that this time it's blue hole's fault? No I don't think so. This is En Masse's fault. They made the announcement that content was coming, and they are the ones who failed to provide it. Will they provide it to us later? I hope so. And I'm sure they will be ready to take all the credit when it successfully launches. But they can not have it both ways. One must take responsibility for their faults and mistakes as well as for any good work done.

We said the next update will be end of July. I am working on the highlight post right now but I need to verify some stuff so that post will go up tomorrow, while we will have the full patch notes next week. :)

Just be sure zerkers get a buff. The only people who say they are fine (or OPd) are guys whos mains arent zerkers and like to have zerkers to kill without effort (other than the case where a bad slayer meets a good and maxxed out zerker).
Problems:
S L O W attacks. By the time the damn axe falls, the other guy has moved out of range.

E V E N S L O W E R charging. Most zerkers in pvp dont use any skills that require a charge.

And while my knockdowns never seem to work in pvp, I get chain stunned. Great. increase the likelihood that if one of my charging skils does actually hit the other guy, that he is knocked down. And fix doom to be a root. A ROOT. And change Fear to be a stun and decrease the cooldown.

Now we finally would be balanced. Dont think that reducing by charge times by 20% "fixes" it.

Yes, I am only lvl, 142, I suck etc, but the fact is that very few zerkers are good in 1v1 pvp for these exact reasons.

Fix it.

Pig, I can't wait for the new patch, because I'm not that concerned about berserkers getting fixed for 1v1. While we need some buffing to make 1v1ing viable instead of what it is now (getting pounded by any experienced non-zerker), the fact that we're not very good 1v1 is balanced by how dangerous we are in group pvp, where zerks are feared. I have a blast 2-manning with a mystic ally on my 60 zerk, and I don't even have pvp gear yet.

The currently slated buffs will give us a little more viability 1v1 by letting us twitch charge skills faster, but more importantly buff zerkers' extremely lackluster PVE dps. There are lots of ideas I would put forth for making zerks a viable 1v1 class, such as not giving a plate class with multiple skills that burn your own HP have a low base HP total, but that's all probably long down the road. For now I'll take what I can get.

Unpinning this one. We have a new thread for the next patches up here.
