N3RF Zerkers

[hotrat]

Don't think necro abs buff stacks with caster self absorb, and as necro is 9% self is 10% better to use self
Once a zerker hits you your only hope is that he hasn't pressed sprint, cus no way you got time to qc root//mezz him

You wait for 1 second, Hat slams said zerker, you step forward over him. You pbae, repeat. Zerker dies.

Not applicable in "teh zerg"

 

[-Shaz-]

If he purges the slam you move. Never been owned 1 on 1 by a zerker but then I don't try to melee them with my staff t_t

Only time I die quick is in "teh zerg" with like 5 on me :|

 

[sorusi]

also spd debuff if you really want to kill me fast, cos the rolling-thing got bleed dmg on it

Lies Lies Lies! All you need to beat a zerker is a nice little shield spec of 42. bam. dead.

If enough people whine on the VN boards then a class gets nerfed. That is the way this game works!

Enough people are whining about zerkers that a nerf is inevitable and as usual Mythic will probably decimate the class and then spend 6-9 months working out how to repair it.

Just save alot of players who have levelled zerks to 50 alot of heartache and remove end buff. Replace it with ranged chant and zerkers will be balanced again.

PS And then increase style dmg for DW/CDW

I might be a gimped norse zerker with 81 quick unbuffed- but I have never killed anyone in 1 hit 2 hit kills is very seldom, normally it takes 3-4 hit to kill casters. If pbaoed i normally die in 3-4 hits if they get high crits 2 hits might be enough, and its not that my resists are crap.

And as someone wrote just Slam zerkers and we are pretty useless

Was owned bad by a solo walewalker yesterday, got him to around 70% HP - I used IP and still died. So nerf Walewalkers

zerkers were balanced in rvr when mids didnt have end regen. simply because it was harder for them to actually engage their opponents and do that insane damage. now they can get directly onto anyone, stay on anyone, and murder all.

nerf nerf nerf :/

yush but they lub heros ^^

Problem would be we hit you twice when you hit us once

Assuming you are LW or Spearo, if you hit as a zerker with 1h, you need a nerf.

zerkers still need some loving
like 16.5 dps 4.6 spd 1hand axes and 2.0 spd offhanders

yes gif!¤!1

my sb wouldn't mind those :]

 

[old.Mitsu]

Yes reinforced is a good idea.

 

[Flimgoblin]

yeah, kill em from range

works on mercs too
as does just killing them in combat, or fighting them hand-to-hand with your staff...

I don't think Zerkers need a nerf, it's the debuff system thats screwy. When you debuff quick/dex and attackspeed, it's supposed to slow the attacks down WITHOUT increasing the damage. My experience (pve, not done alot of pvp so not 100% certain it's the same) with my champs debuffs is that I'd slow down the number of attacks the enemy got in, but the damage they were dealing increased. Did some sums, and overall the damage that the debuffed mob deals remains constant over time, it's just the number of attacks that decreases.

Haste works the way it should (quicker attacks, same damage) so I guess the coding is there, it just needs to be fixed!
