Hi guys,

I waited a while before asking that, waiting for people get confidence with that Patch and with the new Server.

What do you think currently about Savages compared to Berserkers?

savage is more dps but you need the PF the zerker brings...

They're both good. Play the one that best fits your play style.

Here are couple threads about the same. There are discussed pros and cons.

i play savage and a guildmate play zerk.

We are both templated and

savage
-Hit more harder than zerk because can use Thrust damage, dual hit near 50% (triple + quad are so amazing but too rare)
-Can easy split and finish target quickly (self endu+self hate)
-Can tank really better (50% resist cac with self)

But : Hand2hand = 2hand weapon so can be easy block (snif)

berserker
-Dual wield = always hit with 2 weapons
-Hammer = snare (savage can too but need a specific spec)
-Zerk mod = amazing damage but can be easy down

So in fact : zerk = more stable dps / savage = bigger dps
zerk = more easy to play / savage = more funny

imo : in a team with 3 dps : ZERK + SAVAGE + SAVAGE , with 2 dps ZERK + SAVAGE

Do your choice now

I have two questions from a leveling standpoint.
#1
How good is solo exping on him since selfbuffs that cost HP i assume only give you more downtime, so you play without!?

#2
At what level does he become tankier than a zerker (i assume without selfbuffs because #1?)?

Both are weak tank in solo..... SAVAGE : u need only use esquive + haste + add damage so 15% life on yellow, and maybe the mobs hit u one time (with good stuff)
Berzerker : the mob will hit u maybe 3/4 times but....u spend more endurance...

So down time are really close imo.


next 35 savage is really good tank in group..... but.... taunt style sucks versus damage style, sometimes it s hard to keep aggro.

Another nice tool for Savages is 360° evade (unless something was changed there too), which, at least back in the ol' days, was nice when you had several melee people attacking you - I even think you could dodge arrows as well. IIRC, Sav is really more about ALL-IN kamikaze, which is kinda fun.

SAV has more animations per style, compared to the same LA swing of Zerker.

Not sure about Zerker. Because I never really got to play one other than a Valk zerk (lol). She was damn fun actually and it was great to see the whines when you beat somebody with something that can't walk normal !

This is not to denounce zerkers though. Just other thoughts related to SAV.

Somebody might need to correct me, but was h2h STR or STR/DEX?

H2H is str/2+dex/2
