I don't understand all of the hate on Slayers when so many other classes are also easy in PvP.

Lancer - Block block block. You won't be winning any duels, but you sure as hell won't lose them.

Berserkers - Inescapable Doom. Ha, now you're slowed, can't dodge, can't dash, can't do anything to get away for about 15sec. Let me just charge and hit you for 70% of your HP.

Priest - Run in circles. Oh, the enemy is finally almost to you!? Hop away, damaging them in the process. Oh, did you take some damage? Heal to full and continue to run in circles.

Sorcerer - Sleep. Nuke. Derp.

Warrior - Backstab (instant, warps to any player within 15m, stuns, invincible during use, low cooldown), combo to whatever you want, stun some more, or if you're really bad just kite around until your Backstab is back up.

I know Slayers have some good stuns and high mobility, which is why everyone says they're so easy, but really just look at other classes. There's something about most of them that can be abused to make them just as easy to play. I'm not sure why Slayer was picked to be singled out as the 1 and only "easy" class.

because noobs need a reason (they can't accept that they're just terrible) to whine in the forums because they got omgwtfpwned.
ofc those nubs think they are the best pvp'ers but well... they're not.

They're the "easy" class because they dominate 1v1. Equal skill/gear assumed, they win 1v1 versus every class except maybe Lancers.

And that's all people care about, how good THEY look, regardless of group dynamics.

Zerker's can't kill [filtered] all 1v1 unless they're fighting a monkey, but they can also one shot most classes if they have a partner to lock down targets which makes them hugely powerful in groups.

well, i just did a damage test against a slayer. our hardest hitting moves against each other. we are both more or less equally geared except that I have a + 5 weapon and his isn't enchanted.

his heart thrust hits harder than my max charge TS and i'm wearing plate..and him wearing leather.

what a joke seriously. we tested this several times. the result was the same.

an instant skill > a three charge skill. rofl.

I did the same test with my Zerker friend a few levels back and he hit me 2k more every single time. We both had level 44 gold weapon +0 and blue Armor +0.

soooo 2 k more for a 3 charge skill while slayer's heart thrust is instant. not to mention, you're using leather armor and he's using plate armor.

i would gladly take the instant skill for slightly less damage.

That was at level 44-45 i believe. He hit me for like 9k. I had less than 19k of hp i think. That's almost half of my HP... about right for a Zerker. You want more damage? You want to 1 hit all classes? I do belive that they should give another dash to the zerkers so they can catch other clases.

berserker has the lowest scaling hp in the game compared to all the classes. thus, if the difference in damage was only 2 k. you'd also have taken nearly half his HP with an INSTANT skill on a class wearing PLATE ARMOR.

that is the point i am trying to make here.

Lumbertown is suffering through the early years of the Slayer Plague. Also called World War S. How do you fight an enemy who kills our ranks while, at the same time, swelling its own? Almost every person who is killed as a slayer, comes back as a slayer - a mindless killing machine, that won't ever stop. won't ever give up, won't ever change channels until each and every other class is dead.

The only way to kill a slayer is to destroy their brain with a lancer or, if that fails, with a WoW Raidfinder Raid.

Berzakers get 1-2k more HP than a Slayer. Also, how is 6-7k half of 20k?

My point is, that the Zerker damage is fine the way it is. Their dash should be a little longer and they just need another dash style skill.
