I have a zerk and a slayer and i think zerks need a bit of love from the devs . Some tweaks and the class will be complete. For instance a gap closer will be good. Having just dash is kinda annoying.

Leaping Strike says 'sup

jesus h christ.....why are people so obbsessed with 1 v 1...... its an MMO, sure 1 v 1 happens, but its a group game. hence the different classes. you want to be an all in one class go play GW2 and be able to melee plus heal yourself, plus everything else. like one of the other posters said, get into a good guild. have them come with you. boom, it wont matter if you're against a kiter, for example, because your friend can be there to help. just remember it goes both ways though. think ahead, plan, train as you fight, fight as you train. zerker looks fun, but i see where you are comin from though. plus they are god aweful slow, im way to impatient for that lol.

Hi, Leaping Strike, why do you have a very slow recovery animation? Aren't you supposed to be my "gap closer" and my single "evasive maneuver"?

Except, when you're out and about questing, and someone decides to gank you. You're piss easy to kill and can't even run away. Everyone else kinda stands a chance. You take it up the [filtered].

uh, how are zerkers slow? In pvp the berserkers ALWAYS catch up to me. Every time I ask them how the fack they catch up so fast, they just say something like LOL we have (I forget what the skill is but it increases their speed a LOT).

So zerker have to strain more and put more effort than other classes to be on par?
Real balance behind that logic........

Most say 60 is when Zerks pick up, but I'd go with 40. Staggering Strike is really amazing. Even with only 6% attack speed I can easily land the Stagger > Flatten > Tap TS, best is when you time the TS right you get a second knockdown and now they can't recover.

Also the simple lack of 40+ Berserkers gives us an edge since people seem to not have any idea how to handle us. Dash, start charging TS, get in range, wait for the roll/evade, and bam one shot. Or when you fight a Lancer and he complains that you had to use potions to beat him and you kindly let him know that Vamp Blow heals regardless if it's blocked.

It is def a lot more work to PvP as a Berserker there isn't a class out there that I can think, "Yea I can own them no matter what they do" Which my Warrior has a few of those, but it's more fun as the Berserker, and also in group scenarios things get VERY fun.
