Does every1 Phear Zerkers ?

[Surgeon-Elite]

Casters gotta hate zerkers if noone else

same dmg as polearm/ hib 2handers aswell as a much faster swing time. Rat mode goes straight through bubbles same as critcal strikes What other class can kill 3 casters in 3 hits?

i can in one...

no.

 

[Tranquil-]

You can kill _3_ casters in 3 consecutive hits, Yog?

It seems alot of people dont rate zerkers, imo they are the best tank on the game, regardless of poor armour.
Heroes are the most overrated class on the game( as are enchanters), a well equipped zerker would beat the crap out of a hero.

Never said I don't rate them, there a good tank, I just don't fear them. From a tanks point of view i'd happily go toe-to-toe with any other tank in melee zerkers included, personally i'd be more worried about being spotted by a caster at max clipping range. So no, don't fear zerkers or heros for that matter.

And as much as it pains me to agree, your probably right, i'd put money on the zerker vs hero. I'd rather have the extra criticals over the hit points.

it works, at least in later patches (friends from us tested it in duels). dunno about 1.52 thou, can be bugged but will be fixed

no.

hehe, once we lost serzik somewhere between mtk and mmg in emain, in less than 2 minutes there was deathspam from him comprising three infiltrators and one minstrel (edelia btw). so you better fear zerks

Yup, I am a caster and fear them..

On a 1-1 duel and at range 2000 I stand a chance, not when toe-to-toe...

They have nothing on range, so I should be able to take it out then, if I am lucky, but it's still gonna be tricky, since they have a freaking huge amount of hitpoints (especially with IP; which is a bullshit RA, but that's a total different story I am not gonna put up here)

Lemme think: Root.. Drop 4 stunpets on him and start nuking away... Run away..... wait till pets drop and he comes after me, mezz it. Drop again stunpets on him and start nuking again..... Run run run run run, wait for 1 min. timer to do root again, etc etc.

Well, way to tricky, I am not up to that (yet, only lvl 47)

 

[Jiggs]

i can kill casters in 3-4 hits

not if they have pbt though

killed a ranger in 2 hits once

 

[AbPoon]

Dropping casters in 3 hits? fook's sake i've done 1100+ on lvl 50 scale wearers without uber buffs *cough* Yog *cough*

And yes most class's piss their pants and run into the distance when you rat.

 

[Treniel-]

nope i just whack them with slam and run of stron or another caster takes them down in seconds

how do u kill tanks? stun them. Fact

 

[sigh]

DW owns S/S owns POLE/2h owns DW

 

[old.Cotta]

I fear Heroes too ( wel actually any char with loads of hp and those insta heal thingies).
A battle at the mill hibs vs albies:
nasty hero firbuy spots me but luckely a good cleric sees this and stuns the firby. I decide to nuke the firby because this is the fastest way to kill him and hes stunned. So i start nuking and cleric spamms stun after a while. Meanwhile an sword/shield arms comes slashing on the firby aswell. So after 7-8 nukes with all the damage of +-200 (- 242) , he had good resists ! He was almost dead but then zoink, his hp bar filled up ( not totally) and he also became MoooMOOOOOSe. I started running then, and firby didnt waste his time chasing me and kept on tanking other albs.
Pffff, chars with loads of hp and good resists, unbeatable with caster. ( oh yeh mind that the firby was close to me too)

hmm lw > zerkers

hmm i am a lw hero and ok zerkers hurt but no i dont fear them with lw i can use slash/crush ei proberly use slash on zerkers cause i get a + on their armour.

the trick is to have shield up until they rat then slam and kill in 2-4 hits and then after stunn is over i will use my parry chaine. then they might ip but then again i will moos if it gets critical and if the fight goes on use ip while still in moos so i get like 3000 full hp heal.

thoug i mostly use a different aproche atm caus my lvl 50 lw style has a 9 sek stunn (back possitional) they almost always com charging twords me so i just run straight at em and right when i go thruge them push stick and annihalation and wack away.

if i had no abilletys left at all and the zerker dident either it might be a funn fight thoug.

but moos + ip > all

 

[Flimgoblin]

the reason zerkers are scary is their styles - not frenzy frenzy can be countered...

zerks having 30% more damage and hitting 20% faster than my merc is just a bit depressing

Can you still using Anihilation if the zerker (or any other enemy) /stick you while running towards you??? Coz i think he insta turn back while u pass throu him, just wondering

 

[old.anubis]

you need /face not /stick, with stick you are able to come through person, with face - no way

no dude u dont nuke a proper guy for 600-700 damage!

 

[K0nah]

aye put the teddy bear to sleep with slam, unless u dont have slam of course

troll zerkers are good but really nothing special out of ratmode, the picture changes in ratmode however when i can be close to 3 shotted by em. slash resist not at max yet due to alb gimped resist itams (till next patch) but still... impressive dmg output unequalled by any other melee class in my experience.

heros on the other hand, since thier slash resist nerf, i can be slammed have them take thier 9free seconds and still come back and rip them a new one so..

troll zerker = the king of melee.

 

[AbPoon]

Troll zerker? pffft


You'll probley see next patch when duel's come in to see the Troll zerkers being dropped by the Norsemen and dwarf's

Oh and 1136 damage on a warden in epic armour Arnor, beat it ^^

 

[Jiggs]

i had a funny fight with a zerk where i evaded his main hand every time while he was in Ratmode think it was plaid or raid

zerk hits for 100~200 friar hits for 350~400 heh easy fight for me!!

sometimes you get lucky

hopefully we can get some good duals going on Gorre when they test the new patch in a few weeks

see all ya ratboys then!

 

[belth]

Too bad you won't find any healers speccing Aug high or willing to keep celerity up (shit range and duration) LA+End-regen=nerfbat time...

 

[Arnor]

I know ONE! aug healer, Billybob, and I love him dearly
Just waiting for the end-regen

 

[talivarevil]

I dont fear zerks
And tbh a zerk that goes rat is far easier than 1 that doesnt.
And yes i have fought some and yes i will duel if u wanna prove me wrong

 

[yadleen]

Zerker Rats -> Champion snares and runs until rat goes away, champ returns and kills the x-rat.

 

[Khalen]

LOL I don't fear em, I eat em

 

[BlueJam]

I hit a bard for 513 + 510 crit the other day with a 2h hammer and provoke in ratmode (Was hitting teh doors of bled with it), I think I broke his lute

Give us big ugly bastids a free run at you and you're dead, but then again RvR is rarely 1v1.

 

[talivarevil]

Bah 1 on 1 is when u are at your weakest

 

[AbPoon]

Maybe Tali but zerkers work well in groups while bm's kind of.....dont.

No other melee will kill caster's faster then a zerker, this is why zerkers are the best in the game at what they do.

 

[talivarevil]

yep i agree, Im only only trying to tell ppl that 1on 1 they aint as good as they are grouped
