BERSERKER UNFAIRNESSFollow

#1 Feb 25 2004 at 1:10 AM Rating: Decent
Something tells me that the individual who designed the berserker weapons is a racist barbarian. Have you seen the stats of the upgraded barbarian axe compared to that of the other berserkers? It is levels ahead with its stats. Why is a Barbarian Berserker Axe so much better than the other races? Also, why is the Var Shir Berserker's axe so hard to gt compared to the others. They have to go into the massively underconned Hollowshade Moor and kill umteen bugs to get 4 cracked carapaces. Even with temp and other buffs on me I had to run to the guards everytime while trying to kill a single Blue conned beetle (me at about 5% and he still over 50%). Whoever designs these quests needs to think about fairness across the board. Unless there is something I am missing...

Well, as far as what i have seen with the zkr and wished it was like that from lvl 1-20 however its not until you reach lvl 5.. Lvl 5 is when you get an ability called frenzy( yes i think the zkr being limited to 2 handers only kinnda lacking as far as dmg out put) until you get lvl 5 with frenzy ( granted i dumped all my training points that was banked since lvl 1) this made hit a little easier with frenzy.. I think SOE is still looking and evalutating the Berzerker ( cause in all aspect in lower lvls any other tank can take an even con however Zkr might have it slightly close battle and walk away with alot sitting down time)

However, when you get reposte it is a nice skill when you have a slow 2 hander( my advisement on that is also to pool your points and spend a little plat in that skill when you first get it makes your life a little eaiser but not much)


As far as being underpowered i feel in some aspects yes and no

I think that we should get a little better dmg on our thrown axes ( its been like an average 33 dmg on a 28dmg 29 dly flestear axe) Since it seams that when soloing that we actually have to use our snare(leg cut line Which is very unreliable with a 12 sec reuse time isnt bad and it can be used while running) another thing is that we have to rely on shammy,druids,and rangers for sow...
Wish that zkers had an innate run 3 so we could kite without relying on sow casters...

Bezerkers were not ment to be a main tank ( however i wish we had the rage ability back like the war does when he gets below 40 percent health) Honestly i think that ability should be a zkr ability... Another thing is that SOE hasnt determined if we going to crit or not crit or is Frenzy going to be the crit or not or is our thrwoing going to be our crit....

honestly i hope its frenzy speaking of berzerkers really do ther in your face shrugging off blows because of the frenzied state...

But im sure things will happen soon

And Paladins , mages , beastlords and basicly anyone without snare with is really what makes kiting effective.

O.o Umm....doesn't EVERYONE have to rely on druids, shammies, and rangers for SoW? Heck, don't low-level rangers need to rely on others for SoW? Be thankful that a 'zerker has the ability to kite at all...rogues, monks, and warriors have such limited range capability that kiting with them is a joke.

As far as the Vah Shir axe (can't comment on the dorf or barb one)...those carapaces CAN actually be obtained in the newbie zone, rather than Hollowshade. They're a rare drop off the beetles there, but they DO drop them.

Haven't actually gotten mine yet, because I have too many alts as well as my main, so I can't speak for the stats or effectiveness of the axe. Of course, there are so many 2h weapons in the bazaar that are of reasonable price, I'm not sure I'm going to bother getting that one anyway. (And no...I'm not twinking my 'zerker...she's selling lots of shadeling silk and hopper hides to buy the stuff she hasn't quested)

Additionally, they do get sold to merchants. Found three of the four on various merchants around Shar Vahl, got the fourth off of one of the bugs in Shadeweaver's
