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
It’s always the person piloting the champion at fault not the champion
i think sharpshooters are doodoo but i’ve seen a 1500 ilvl sharpshooter outdps and surge blade with gunlancer synergy in kungel at 1500ilvl as well
and no they don’t
just play better
watch videos and see what you are doing wrong
my gunlancer at 1510 is pretty decked out but i can still see room for 40-50% damage increase on him without increasing ilvl
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.
Most Zerkers play like Asmongold, they just stand in everything and hit stuff until they die.
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.
Zerker has a bad reputation because some Streamers said they dont want it in their party.
Same reason when Reaper gets released here people who have no actual idea why will auto deny them from PF.
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.
you aren’t wrong even saint was saying on stream berserk needs a buff
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.
They should make berserker into a hit master class and balance him around that. It makes 0 sense for a big dude with massive sword to chase the boss around trying to hit from behind… Gameplay wise it’s shit too, by the time your animation finishes there is a big chance the boss turns or moves lol
This. After playing mayhem zerker as an alt, I noticed they play more similarly to wardancers and soulfists. You have to set up rotations based on red dust uptime or you’re putting skills to cooldown with only half their dmg. Too many mayhem zerkers just piano spam their skills and complain they don’t do dmg or refuse to dodge and complain about how squishy they are.
