Would a 2H Zerker be Viable ?

[old.Zeikerd]

They will hit the same as a very slow polearmsman I think, and will hit very slow themselves. No problem with that.

Of the changes they'll make to the light tanks, I think the blademasters immunity to crit hits is a bit gross. Apart from that, it's nice, but I would have preferred an increase in my damage, instead of a decrease of berserker damage to be honest. The few solo encounters I had so far with berserkers have all been fairly even, propably because I have good equipment and my RAs were always up. But my damage all in all is fairly crap, and I wish I would pack a bit more of a punch. I have never one-shotted anything so far, and even casters take ages to go down.

Tested my damage cap on a few greys yesterday, and I got a whooping 131 unstyled/220 with Amethyst slash. That's with MP jambiyas and 65 slash, not counting crits.

Yes, not on the anytimers though, but on the positional styles all lighttanks should dish out an enormous amount of damage.

For example:

Blademaster anyimter cap 200
Mercenary anytimer cap 200
Berserk anytimer cap 240 (a bit higher sind Midgard should be the "melee" realm )

Blademaster positional style cap 400
Mercenary positinal style cap 400
Berserk positional style cap 500 (again because of Midgard being the "melee" realm)

This would be the way to go when i was the one to decide that. All lighttanks would be able to do an anormous amount of damage to other players, but not in 1vs1 encounters facing the opponent. All lighttanks would have to use some tactics to be able to dish out that damage.

Arsman a pratically useless without a healer and a Paladin. They have the wonderfull ability to solo a yellow and sit on their are for 10 minutes. Once out of end, which doesn't take that long, your useless.

That sounds exactly like what happens when i solo with my berserker. Occasionally I can still solo a low orange but usually i need buffs and sometimes even zerk mode before i win against those at the moment.

And then people wonder why I'm still only level 39....

Fight = 30 seconds
Rest = 5 minutes

repeat ad naseum

I hope you mercs and bms realise that THAT was your love.
They improved a few styles noone uses anyway, nerfed the equivalent class so you dont have a right to whine anymore.
Yeap problem solved working as intended and the rest of the crap. Dont worry you are still gonna be gimps along with the zerkers and sbs now.

I know, but not that's the point imho.
The point is, that many people are complaining about the same screenshots which show a very lucky 99% Crit on a positional style in vendo mode over and over again.

And i really wonder what these people would say after a 2h zerk hit them for a lot more damage in vendo mode on a positional style after the nerf.

"Would a 2H Zerker be Viable ?"

That's what I answered, not your post.

tbh i dont see 2h zerks being viable at all..

why play a 2h zerk and swing extremely slow with iffy defense.. when you can play a 2h savage attack 3 times faster have much better defense and ~50% resists to most melee attacks.

the zerker is all about LA.. without LA there is no zerker.
