Berserker, all the way or not

[Madonion Slicer]

Ok my Bersker is very soon going to ding 44, so at that point he will be spec

44 Axe
44 LAxe
17 Parry

Now the question is do i stop specing Laxe and axe and put the rest into Parry so i am 44/44/44 or do i spec Laxe to 50 leaving 44/50/37 or to i take laxe and axe all the way to 50, 50/50/28.

Could anyone give me the pro's and con's on

Axe/LAxe/Parry
44/44/44
44/50/37
50/50/28

My first thoughts is i want Max damage, i really want to hurt people so i am thinking 50/50/28, but does this mean i will parry once in a blue moon.

Your thoughts on this please.

I am 50/50/28 and i like it, i think i parry alot. Was a bit suspicious on the spec in the beginning but i really like it now.

I'm zerker on US and 50/50/28 is ideal IMHO. I have (struggling to remember as its so long since I played my US account) got items taking parry up to around 40 or so - so long since i played him sorry.

Anyway I remember levelling 40-45 in spind and parrying like a madman. Very impressed with it actually. I couldn't see any reason NOT to spec 50 in axe and left axe tbh.

50/50!

Hmm what about
Axe :48
La :50
Parry:32

A lil odd mebbe but .
Dont think you lose that much dmg/wepskill with the last 2 points in axe, but u will rise ur parry with 4 points ..

Im 50/50/28 and it's so bloody boring to see the 28 points that i can't train with.

With the odd specc u will have 3 points left ..

Go 50/50/28 you are a damage dealing class not defensive,you not going to rely on parry if taking caster/support classes out first therefore you will be chased often so you can't parry much in fights anyway.

i have 50 la 44 axe 37 parry atm and it works really well, i parry like a madman

i respeced from 50/50/28 because im using this char mostly for PvE and if i parry alot and can use the parry style i dont use as much end as i do with DF

 

[klavrynd]

parry is weird, sometimes you parry like a madman and sometimes people with very low parry spec parry tons more then you do

i have 28+14 parry and usually parry nothing, but then again goa decided to put the gimpflag on my char to 1

Eystorarn is going the 44/44/44 route, as with spellcrafted items you really arent losing much damage, just the option of some styles past 44 in left axe and whatever your primary weapon is. And 'parrying like a madman' is quite right. When (if) parry ever gets fixed in Realm v Realm combat like shield is (allegedly) It might extend your life just a few seconds when the big neon sign above your heard that says 'berzerker' lights up and everyone goes for you.

Only drawback, if indeed it is a drawback, is that I tend not to use berserk mode at all - the loss of all defence is bad, for a few extra hits. Depends on the situation, if there are any shield tanks around, berserk mode - nononononononono. Stunned or mesmerised enchanter in front of you - destroy it in one hit and who cares about that neon sign. One less overpowered lurikeen.

Then again, Im only 45 at the moment. I dont claim to know everything or are the 'best'..just suits my playstyle and I like it.
