Zerker PVP

Migg · 06-25-2009, 01:31 PM

Im pretty new to EQ2 and im playing a zerker on nagafen pvp server.
Mainly all i do is pvp there, but i havnt found any good answers on what AAs to go for pvp or which diety and... gear??? pvp armor or mastercrafted?
Not alot of zerkers seem to pvp because it isnt a very OP "overpowered" class.

At the time im lvl63, i went down the STA and INT line, Then down the cyclones, The shadows AA, battle hardening, (sorry dont remember the name) the AA that makes your defensive stance more effective. Last but not least Tribunal is my deity, Its alright but not very impressive, i may try cazic thule.

It seems to fair well, i can 1v1 paladins but i cant 1v1 SKs, it might be a resist thing.

So if anyone has any experiance with the PVP aspect of the zerker, post it here on this forum please.
"sorry if there is already a zerker pvp thread i couldnt find it"

I'm not on a PvP server, but when I fight with guildy in the guild house I usualy start with rampage, mastodont and andrenaline then I rush with our 3 (I have 4, one from my race) stuns. You just chain them.

I mainly equip myself with stun gear.. D/Wielding. (Don't know if it work on pvp server, but on pve its awsome :p)

I try to cast prebuff then Cameleon totem to make my enemy lose my target then I rush.

For SKs, I have set my parse to tell me when he's on Deathmarch, when he's on I just try to heal myself and run because he's immune to stun etc. I save my big hits when he's not on his 100% repost too ;p

Go down the WIS line and carry a shield. stun them with shield bash then hit them wit belly smash.

What can a zerker do to out heal the dps from a SK?

As for the OP having problems with SK's and not Pallies, that will change in 5 levels when SK's get pretty rubbish and Pallies get uber.

As for PvE advices. There is different PvP ruleset on PVP servers so the playing is totally different.

As for 1on1 cant say, this is group game for me. Still max off and dual wield on most classes. Good timing of stiffle, stuns and knockbacks is needed. As for SKs, if you meet nub, you will kil him, if someone who deserves his kills probably not.
As for group vs group. zerk is OP, at least I feel like that when tanking (Dunno if someone else got so much AE taunting).
Deity - Tribunal for stunning cloak (if it is not nerfed, it stuns over and over)

Tribunal cloak is ubber yeah, and you can betray that god and keep the cloak :p

Welp ive seem to notice this much which would make sense, you wanna go more tank spec even in PVP.
DPS is good and you can kill someone quick

But i think people in my tier people are starting to notice im a big problem and threat in group battles (their isnt alot of zerkers pvp'n so they arnt used to them) but they'll try burning me down before an assassin, even before the healer alot of the time. 95% of the time it doesnt work though being tank spec'd

Our AEs are a big problem, And when i pvp i always attack healer or a squishy first, mainly because You FORCE Their tank/taunter to taunt you. Snice we have plenty of interrupts their tank has no choice but to taunt us off their healer or squishy because they'll clearly lose even quicker if they dont.
This strat protects your healer obviously...

I believe...... ONLY 10 times.. not even that much, i can only remember 1 zerker on the other faction that i have ever pvp'd with and whenever i did all those battles were was us beating on each other. So its pretty ruff finding good info from a fellow pvp zerker because there really isnt any

Luckily people normally just pick SKs and paladins, they are pretty op in ways but no way more effective than a zerker in such battles.

always try to pop a immune to stun and stifle potion right before engage'n that will do wonders

Duel Wielding... i havnt used at all snice lvl22, a Shield seems to do amazing wonders in PVP and dps from us is good enough with using 1 weapon.

the Wisdom line, i was thinking of trying that, but for just 1 skill that requires another skill to work im not all that sure about, maybe when im lvl80 it be useful.
But on Nagafen, you dont wanna be lvl80.....

soo..... Tank Spec, use Shield, Immune stifle/stun pots.
attack squishys/healers (force their tank to taunt you)
wish i had more useful information.

Its not just for belly smash, the end line in pvp is also very nice.

Hunker comes quite handy with people trying to run away from me after they find out they cant kill me so easy.

Serraphim · 07-01-2009, 02:41 PM

Belly smash? are you serious?

Zerkers are unreal as a PvP tank at lvl 80.

The group we run is usually Myself, a templar, a warden, a troub, a dirge an Illu. DW is hugely unneccessary with a mythical as the lost avoidance really doesnt compensate for an extra swing. Offensive stance in grp sights is the way to go, there is no need for defensive stance unless you're in a 1v1 situation and want to eat a brig or swash's burn. Depending on how the other group situates itself, I find myself parseing 1000-2000 dps on 2-3 minute fights. Obviously its less if they arent all stacked on each other and my myth only hits 1 or 2.

Adrenaline also makes you very difficuly to burn although I generally dont use it when grp'd because our warden/templar are pretty beast. But 1v1 its godly.

don't chain your stuns. In PvP when you get stunned after the stun expires you get stun immunity for the same amount of time. So if you hit them with a 2 sec stun you have to wait 4 sec before they can be stunned again.

I'd suggest use rampage. Lead with shield bash and macro in an off hand. get an auto attack off while DW then macro the shield back in and just kinda go ffrom there. Use your stifle wisely. It can be very powerful if used at the right time.
