So how many times havethis happened to you? You see a Imp or Rebel and you think.. I'm going to put the smack down on him. So you hit bezerk before you engage. The only problem is Bezerk has a beautiful litttle indicator saying HEY LOOK AT ME!

I find it funny that we have the only special that throws up a big flag saying HEY EVERYONE I'm UP TO SOMETHING OVER HERE!

In the mean time the gun users are using overcharged shot and it's hard to tell even where it's coming from.

Yeah, I guess this is trivial when mixed with the fact that we can't even play the game anymore because of ham costs.

PvM berserk is still decent, though nowhere near its former glory (even after the first nerf it was still pretty good). Hey, its better then anything else we got in terms of boosting dps and groupwise its still pretty nice. Anyhow, this is a brawler skill, so not really merely "our" disadvantage, all melees have it bad and on alot of different levels, moreso then just berserk.

Yah since you can't use specials while berzerk I have not used it since the last nerf.

I used to use it to clean up white / blue's now it hurts more than it helps...

LoL, I think we do, while in berzerk mode, you can use no specials...

That's what we were talking about and It's true...

Berzerk =continuous increase in DPS for a 20 second period. Specials increase your damage out or keep it the same for a single hit. If you want to die, then by all means spam these specials for 20 seconds and tell me you are doing great w/o berserk. These are the same people complaining that specials are useless. You guys even play this game anymore?

Yah and during that 20 seconds you are taking INCREASED damage from the mob. On whites / yellows/ even BLUES at 0/1/0/0 I cannot berzerk without debuffing the mob or it's a close fight.

And now that berzerk only adds 75 damage it's really not that appealing to me, and who does our specials for damage? I never ever ever used unarmed hit 2, it's worthless I'd rather let my VK's do the damage then worthless specials.

The only specials I use are debuffs, which I don't rely on them for damage, but I rely on them to weaken my opponent.

Guess I shoulda clarified my tactics, I stack 3 or 4 knockdowns on the mob and then zerk, meaning Im taking NO damage for 20 seconds...

Furthermore, in a group situation, when others are doing knockdowns or status specials, zerking still isnt a bad tactic. I get like 500 more xp when I zerk vs when I dont zerk in groups.

Ouch those KD's have gotta hurt hehe.

In a group with someone healing me I will use berzerk, but solo or duo... no way, I'm usually the meatshield between the mob and my main partner. hehe.

if I am soloing, I start the fight with a berserk. Once it wears off, I use unarmedhit2 till it dies. I use this tactic up against yellows, and it works every time. If I am hunting with another TK, we will decide who will use the debuff tactics, and who will use the attack tactics.

So, I love berserk. I can see how the big green waypoint that fires off your head could be an issue in PvP, but in PvE I rarely ever use my other specials.
