All things being equal, BM dps should be exactly the same as zerk DPS. Of course there are inequalities like racial strength, celerity, and imo a slight advantage in style growth for the zerk (if only because the zerk's BIG DAMAGE positional chain can be spammed on kiters). On the other hand, BMs can slam and their RR5 is actually good.

One thing the staff can do to equalize the two classes is to allow weapon swaps from inventory using the hotbar. Not only will this prevent DPS loss while fumbling between the shield and off-hand weapon; it will also make the BM (and Merc) feel easier to play, which is an advantage the zerk really enjoys.

most annoying thing about bm is side and shield stun, mercs and zerkers always QQ

can we pls stop talking about state of the server, if even ppl think zerkers do less dmg than bms? maybe its not the server

Positional: Side

That mean "every side" or only side here???

(Flame )

Well, a lot of classes were flamed here over the years.
Some deserved, some not.

But to QQ about BM and Merc, cause Zerk is too strong is by far the stupiest thing I ever heard here

Nobody said zerks were too strong... You're reading what u want to read. :s

Ok, I did a mistake, what I meant is not that Zerkers are too strong, I meant Zerkers are stronger than BM (big difference! [No irony]).

They said Zerk has more dps, that might be right, but Merc and BM have Flurry and Shieldspec. So Zerk --> stronger but Merc/BM --> more utility.


So I can't understand why ppl QQ about Zerk-dmg in comparison to BM/Merc.. Nothing to QQ here

So, zerk should do more damage than other lighttanks as bm/merc/rangers?

zerker have nothing else than dmg, absolutely no utility and useful rr5... so yes they should do more dmg.

Zerkers got Backsnare and Rat ability

zerker mode is very powerful if used at the right moment, luckily most zerkers drop it like poor scrubs, and they got the aug healer with cele ofc. anyway, I wouldn't trade a BM for zerkers

I think we have derailed enough from topic openers questions: Locked
