Valkyre or Zerkie

[Darksword]

Well im coming back to DAoC after my exams on a new account, so im going to level eithar a Valkyre or a Zerker, and actually get them ready for RvR. So i was wondering which would be better, Valk or Zerker, and which is most wanted, and which would do better in solo rvr. if i go Valk i'll probably go 2h sword and 48 spell line or something. if i go Zerker ill go for all out damage i think, but go dwarf instead (15str 10 con as much +str cap to try and make up for not being a troll) reason id go dwarf is because i read that in 1.76 or 1.75 they are changing it so if a dwarf zerks they will be smaller? or was that not true, i havent really read any patch notes just read something on these forums. Well which do you think would be best? thanks

If I was to roll a tank in Midgard right now, I'd make a Troll Berserker with +15 str/+10 con and go ML10 Banelord. Undoubtedly one of the best tanks in the game.

Dwarfs are nice if you want to solo in rvr, nothing says 'Look daddy, a Mid!' then a fat troll sillouette on the horizon . Also dwarfs are getting smaller vendo form at some point which looks uber cool.

 

[Anarch]

if you arent in a hurry i would sugest savage when Det boost goes live they are ahain a wery nice class

Troll zerk, 10 str 15 qui. xD

Definately zerker if you want to get group invites.
I would think zerkers are better for solo RvR too. Charge ftw!
Go kamikaze on trios/small groups, charge + vendo and take out a caster before you die is great fun.
Can't do that with a valkyrie.

I know valkyn isn't the best race for a zerker, but i love mine.

 

[vavires]

I would pick the valkyrie, more fun to play with
im specced 50sw/31p/8sh/48ow
I like it, its lot of fun, together with the warlord, a nice asset to groups, if ppl gve the time to know them that is.

Valk can be a fun extra in grp, taken mirani in mael grp a few times, but a zerk is a key grp class whereas a valk is a possiblity for one of the other slots

and listen to nothinging sycho says! he knows nothing! go 15 str 10 qui ;p

 

[Sycho]

Troll in general would be better off 10 str/15 qui since it can hit both caps(450str/250 qui) or near them a lot better and balance out it's overall dps more evenly so.

Also 400 str is a good target to aim for...you will not see much difference between 400str and 425 or so, i have done so much tests with my merc that i am surprised my eyes haven't fallen out. xD

Overall troll is best...but not by a great deal, if you want to go dwarf by all means try it but str/qui start stats is best though as dwarf i would do 15 str 10 qui.

Nah can't play daoc anymore due to real life problems, but might meet you one time in person since you are a londoner too xD

Miss the sauvage days with you, me, sanguineus, gustav and jamie.

Also dark go with malice+croc dagger or malice+ml10 offhand.(even better due to being able to get 12% styled 12% melee)

 

[Darksword]

hmm that ml10 sounds awfully long to farm, btu so's malice so .

BTW does anyone know any good places to level and could someone explain the exp bonuses' now? are they in classic zones or all zones?

places i can think of leveling at the moment are -

Nisse's lair, Vendo, that wolf cave, spindel.

is this still a viable way to exp up? ill be unbuffed and starting from scratch really tho i know about how to play etc - how hard will it be to get decent items or will i be ok because i hear catacombs seal thingies gives good pve items, will that still be good for a zerker who will be getting hit more or should i look out for friendly/bored crafters? thankies

heh yeh should do so sometime xD and sorry to hear you cant play anymore was good fun in those days I miss them also (sorry if hijacked thread abit xD)

neway take care m8y

 

[Elendar]

sok as a 3rd weapon for the grp chant, or battler for the debuff is a good thing to have too

 

[Osri]

Troll, 15 str and 10qui or 10 str, 15qui for optimized stats at high rr.

sok, ,battler, malice...golm, gov/gsv, scalars, som...base arty set. (all abilitys very useful)

Extra stuff with dropped 75 af charge item with buff 25% bonus items. (Close 800 af those other tanks wont hurt that mucho anymore)

As spec can go old style 50 sword or hammur, 50 la or
splitspec 39 sword, 39 hammer, 50 la. (use la styles)

My recipe for zerkers...

15 str 10 qui or other way around not con :wub:

 

[Belomar]

Ok, ok, ok! I don't play a tank, so sue me!

 

[Darksword]

howcome people seem to be saying 15str 10qui? or is it because qui doesnt raise as a stat?

 

[Foadon]

qui = swingspeed = affected dmg output over time
con = some extra hp, 50ish? not worth it :d

 

[Faelinor]

roll a savage
