i will be completely honest with my self. Beserker (Mayhem) damage is a bit trash. if you compare it with shadow hunter she will outdamage you 99% even with less ilvl and gems and 4x4 engravings, You might say oh but he has 60% damage reduction, Lets compare him with arti you will get outdamaged by 99% whilst he has more survivability. Every single class in the game out damages mayhem by now and its not the rotation its the fact that the class is very weak late game compared to other classes like deadeye, gunslinger etc.
even in parties beserker is like a reject to parties. Most parties now will look for synergies everything will work out but not for a zerker as he’s “Not effiecient”.
These are my thoughts about this am not saying its the worst class or the best class, it has sustained dmg but alot of classes provide more which makes him a public reject unless you are 1550 ilvl with lvl 10 gems then maybe someone will accept you into his party.
Nah , the biggest factor is the majority of mayhemers having room temp IQ pulling down the few good mayhemers. I will 99% of time take a BT over a mayhemer and that is because most mayhemers have this rancid reputation of being a clueless/gigawhale player with 0 knowledge of the raid tanking everything in sight.
Something like arcanist in our current version is basically playing roulette to hit the right cards to deal alright damage (not even amazing but alright) while zerk is pretty consistent in good hands but this is the majority of sorc and mayhemers → THIS
Agree with you 100%. A lot of mayhem zerkers are basically monkey see monkey do kind of situation. They are very famous for being the auto attacker brainless dead monkeys that will tank everything and end up dying 90% of the time during the huge influx of gigawhales playing zerkers because they only need to use green pots back when the prenerf version to fully heal themselves from any kind of dmg.
Yeah Arcanist was infamous for that because of a streamer who doesnt know anything scream out Arcanist sucks, but in reality empress arcanist is one of the top tier dps when they reach relic gear.
Sorc is also infamous for being shit for playing reflux build, which is in the same situation as Arcanist Emperor build because their dmg isnt that great and falls off endgame.
Well for some classes game starts after you reach max lvl tripods and some high level gems. For Berserk i know from my friend you need to access both gems+tripods. Good news is tripod update soon enough however i can’t be sure for you to get high level gems.
Also i think they don’t accept berserks due to no party snergy. Never had a problem joining pugs with my DB thanks to her kit.
Interesting … i don’t have the problem you are describing (outdamaged and not getting invited) at my ilvl (1500 lvl7 gems) … unless the guy has considerable higher ilvl.
I main Mayhem Zerker. 1490, pugged clown twice, rest i do with group. get MVP pretty consistently on all gates. Pulled a 45% dmg MVP last week on G3.
The class is undoubtedly one of the worst in the game at the moment, even in KR. It doesnt scale well at all, I plan to main swap to arty eventually but if your playing with below average players youll never realize it.
If your really good at the class and your playing with other really good players youll never get close to them.
Well the class is built to be a bit of a swiss army knife type of a melee dps so that’s kinda how it goes. They could easily get buffed though and I don’t think anyone would really mind that
I think you need to ask what you are doing wrong xD One of my guildies was able to troubleshoot their berserker mayhem dps issue through discord streaming (it wasn’t a build issue but how they played).
Idk what your problem is, but my alt 1445 zerker can regularly outdps 1460+s. Check your stats, tripods, gems, and skill rotations. Also, mayhem hits pretty hard with auto back attacks, so make to do them during skill cooldowns.
It just funny how Mayhem works. With those added movement and attack speed, skill animation still way too long with average damage compare to other classes. Yes, Mayhem has a consistent damage but the longer animation kills it. I wish they buff the skill animation just a little so it wont get stuck or cancelled in some cases.
Asmon plays his Zerker just for fun and content (maybe not, maybe he is really that bad). But a good player understand how to play his class and will realized if its his class or not.
I get that, I’m not putting down Asmon or what he does for content and laughs.
Just saying that is typically how most zerker’s play
Myself included I might add. When I play my zerker alt I am more a danger to myself and others than the actual target. It’s just fun to play the class that way I guess lol.
1502 Zerker Mayhem here with all dmg tripods @ level 4 (for now until next major changes) and 3 level 9 gems main skills and I cant outdamage a 1490 Arti with only 1 level 10 gem.
Problem is you not knowing how to play your own class. Vast majority of berserkers mindlessly spam skills without following an actual proper rotation and lose so much damage because of it. Berserker does not need a damage buff if anything they only need some QoL changes that make the kit less clunky, like matching cooldowns would do more good for mayham than any dps buff.
You are not playing your class optimally, hardest part of playing mayhem is how fast your decision making skills are. Proof that you are comparing yourself to a SH means you clearly don’t have a clue what your role in a raid is, and how your class is supposed to be played compared to a sustain class like SH.
