Berserkers

I'm quite confused why there are no berserkers. I don't possibly think they can be bugged because they are just pure melee and do nothing else. So then really, why are there no zerks?
 
I think it is partly because they are with a future expansion not yet utilized in WR but more because they are basically a scaled back rogue and serve little to no added functionality. They were a lame attempt to add an additional class to EQ.
 
In ten sentences or less, explain to me what a Beserker is. Thanks. I'm not retarded, keep that in mind (make the sentences tactful and informative).
 
Sony's take:
Berserkers are fearsome fighters that possess inordinate amounts of strength and bravery. They lunge into battle swinging large two-handed axes or hurtling throwing weapons at their prey. They carry huge axes because of the damage they deal and for the fear the weapons instill in the enemy. As great as a berserker's skill with a two-handed axe is, his skill with throwing weapons cannot be overlooked. As he becomes more powerful, he can infuse his rage into various thrown weapons, causing dire effects when they strike a foe.
With the mastery of his innate rage, the berserker also gains the ability to become "berserk," a deadly state which causes a great amount of damage as a berserker's blade swings with frenzy. As dangerous as berserkers are at these moments, they become more vulnerable to enemy attacks.

Berserkers do not fear death and they value speed and agility over personal defense. The berserker is at his best with a group of friends and adventurers that allow him to unleash his full anger on an enemy without interruption. When standing within arm's reach of his enemy, the berserker is one of the masters of offense, crippling and maiming with impressive speed and skill. And, in situations where an enemy must be fought at a distance, the berserker has the best throwing arm of any Norrathian.

How did they behave on Live? Basically just another high DPS class? Comparable to a Rogue? Monk?

Better yet, anyone have some Magelo's (or whatever the hell they use now)? I want to compare stats, to see if they're just a DPS class, or have some tanking ability.
 
I played a 65 Dorf Zerker on the Gates Beta for awhile and was less then impressed with them but that is just me.

To my understanding, Zerks were below Rogues and maybe around Monk DPS.

I don't know - I think it would be funny to watch the race for the first person to use the name MurrMurr PawKatt - and then to see how quickly that person is abolished.

Of course, my sense of humor may be a little warped :)
 
I saw a dude named Frozen... it was funny. Then he couldn't understand what was possibly wrong with his name. I haven't seen him in game, so he either quit, or got nerfed. :)
 
This can't be said enough: It is not physically possible for them to add beserkers iwth the current version of the client they have because they can't change the client for legal reasons.

Signed. Hate to see the furries take a useful race away. If you're afraid to fly the terrorists have already won!
 
We had 1 Berserker in our guild back in EQ and he seemed to do nothing but complain about how 1/2 his abilities were broken or did not seem to be as advertised. As far as raiding went, he was always there but I dont ever remember him being more than another DPS class. Even rogues with little utility could still drag people to the raid from zone in. I cant for the life of me remember a single thing a berserker could do that would add something to the raid. I liked the idea in theory, but the reality was alot different.
 
I had one of the firsts 65 zerkers on my server. The class was fucking fun, better tank than my monk was (as far as mitigation, my monk had the best raid gear while the zerker just had the normal PoP leveling shit). Would be a nice addition to WR at some point, they were a fun class with a few abilities that were = ). Also, WRs team is a tad coolah than EQ's, I'm sure the community/developers could come up with some new abilities.
