Default Is the Beserker class Dead?

Although I am a near high end Beserker I have always avoided getting the grass is greener feeling by never looking at the guard aa or spell line, however tonight i buckled and I have to ask why am I still a beserker? I am nearly positive I could do more dps, take less damage, and hold better taunt being a guard. So I have to ask, is there a point in continuing? What are your opinions?

P.S I will stay a beserker until epics are released and I can compare guard and zerk however at this point im 75% sure I will betray soon.

Zerker still barely hold the upper hand when it comes to dps, but when it comes to tanking its a different story... the only thing zerkers have that puts us near a guard is adrenaline, and as it stands its broken and aeralik doesnt plan to fix it, so yea... get ready to betray...

I dont see how Zerker still holds the upper hand when it comes to dps, currently in raid DPS and Haste mod are high enough that the 32 32 from Zerk is pathetic, that weighed against 9% DA is a close battle.

dont know about you but havent seen many encounters in RoK and longer fights that damage is what 6k over 10 minutes is 10 dps and the long cast time usually isnt worth missing the Auto attack.

Here are some proposed Fixes for the beserker class
Self zerk be a 30 sec duration with + da and + melee crit and maybe even improved % to taunts?

10 minute fights? maybe the ones you have to afk and auto attack with a bow.... boss fights are usualy more involved than just purely dpsing the mob down, at least a few anyway lol... for the most part im just talking about trash mobs.

You guys are crazy.... I have pulled of 4k on trash lets see a guardian who isnt Jcaped with a stacked group do that in my position not even tanking... not to mention that we add DPS to our entire group. With My OT group we all do a pretty good amount of DPS on the trash and now that both my beserk triggers are mastered besker is up most of the time... Replace me with a gaurdian and you are sure to see those numbers for my whole group go down...

My OT group is Mystic Templar Dirge Brigand (Random Melee Class). My Mystic is doing 3k on trash with his PB hammer... Beserk should not be underestimated... Sometimes I even get the inquis in my group then its really over.. Thats still me not even going all out and this is without Jcaps or anything and no illusionist in the group. The Beserker Class for OT all in all is better in almost everyway to a guardian OT with the only caveat being they can Tower and Block...

In a perfect raid force where your maximizing DPS and Survivability your going to have a Beserker OT not to mention the fact that the game is currently intended as such (Aer you want to back me up?)
The only thing that honestly pisses me off about our class is the fucking health regen bullshit... I dont get it... and seriously if our epic has fucking health regen I'm showing up at Soe and kicking some ass.
Health Regen when fighting raid mobs is a fucking joke...


Btw people seriously underestimate DPS MOD simply becuase they dont understand it... Beserk FTW

Only way Im betraying is if they fuck us on our epic... I got some suppsoed inside on the Guardian Epic and its pretty fucking godly to say the least lots of uncontested avoidance. If ours just has a big fucking health regen bonus on it and alot of Crit Im going to seriously have issue with the class... Aer seems like he fucking hates us though so in truth I am a little worried...
