Runemasters are a good support caster, but as a damage dealer they stink.


I recently got a RA respec for my RM so i took him for a spin in emain.

50 base darkness, 67 modified.

Seeing nukes hit for over 300 (AFTER i dd-debuff) was rare.


Hell, i had albs in IRC paying me out about my lack of damage

Nice math, Zxae. /cheer


Just wanted to voice my support. People like to talk about "so-and-so hitting them for X damage" a lot, and I like to see if it's even possible.


Basically, the above poster wouldn't be wrong if he or she was PBAEing a level 1 player who was standing at the epicenter, got a max crit, was in a realm with all 3 power relics, and had a lot of wild power. In that exact pretty much impossible scenario (I'll make a level 1 character for you to duel to try it on if you like, and we can see if it ever happens) the damage would be approaching 2000.

Actually, it wont be Tess.

A 325 delve pb will never hit for anywhere near 2000k in RvR. The dmg cap for a 325delve pb is 975. The absolute cap with a max crit would be 1463, unless the person has some MoM to increase the 975 cap slightly (MoM 3 and a max crit would give about 1595 damage fyi)


No amount of Relics or WP will effect this.


Oh and for what its worth, hitting cap damage and getting a full 50% crit is a 1 in a million chance. It would probably never happen in real RvR - not any significant RvR anyway (unless camping noobs in DF is significant to you)

It's hard to ignore nerf zerk threads when there are 2 or more of them on the first page EVERY FREAKING DAY Staghorn, "bro". The point isn't if you get private messages or not, or if people agree with you. I FREAKING AGREE WITH YOU TO!!!!!! Just stop posting about it here because it does NOT A DAMN THING, NOTHING, ZILCH, ZERO, NADDA. Nothing comes from any of these posts.


Nokekula, Staghorn, the rest:


What can you do? What will posting about it here do? The same 10 people reply, "es verily! Nerf zerks they are overpowered!"


Then another 10 people (the same ones every time) say, "ONO zerks aren't overpowered I disagree."


Then one guy says, "Cry more noob."


It's an endless freaking cycle. NOTHING gets accomplished. Feedback Sanya. Post on the dev boards. Find a way to work a post of yours onto the test dev boards or whatever they are. I know of plenty of people who have access to them. Posting here does...guess what...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT REHASH THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. The only thing that changes is which berserker gets their name in lights in the thread each time.


What they need to freakin do is make the mother of all nerf zerk posts, and just make it a freaking sticky at the top of the page, because EVERY ONE OF THESE POSTS IS THE EXACT SAME THING. The exact same people arguing for and against. The exact same arguments.


JUST GIVE IT UP, TAKE IT ELSEWHERE, ANYTHING TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM HERE. IF I STILL PLAYED A ZERK I"D SCREAM FOR MYTHIC TO NERF THEM JUST TO END THE ANNOYANCE OF YOUR POSTS.

Nerf Zerkers!

Skegg, your posts thus far are more worthless than anyone else’s, even those outright denying berserker damage, because they contribute nothing and shed light on nothing. You’re just wasting your time (as you accuse me of doing) by posting in this thread.


So lets resign ourselves to wasting our time and accomplishing nothing and go on with our own business. Bro.


Olorin, scale armor cannot be the reason behind insane berserker damage simply because wearers of other types of armor encounter the same amount of damage. I have a friend who also has a MP set of RF armor and he still gets ht by berserkers for 700-900 all the time. I have heard stories from plate wearers even that have been hit for this hard. While I agree that scale is indeed broken and needs to be looked at in regards to slash, it cannot be the sole reason behind insane Berserker hits.

yes, im so ignorant. i know NOTHING of this game. remember, im just a FOTM n00b zerker that spams DF.. with a 200k+ RP gain a week and usually also on the i remain standing list for the week <shrugs> yes, i do suck...

LOL always the same stupid denial crap since the beginning of the game.

1.Chain stunning people for 30 seconds doesn't seem fair?


Mid Healer : "Shut-up and spread out newb"


2.Scouts shooting people for 800+ damage doesn't seem fair?


Albion Scout: "Just run out of range newb"


3.Chain using clerics nuking for caster damage doesn't seem very fair?


Smite Cleric: "But it costs tons of power cry more newb"


4.Stealthers with full IP insta-heals doesn't seem very fair?


Stealthers: "But we have crap for armor cry more newb"


5.Enchanter pets nuking thru walls doesn't seem fair?


Enchanters: "But its almost always resisted cry more newb"


6.Beserkers hitting for 900+ in 2 seconds doesn't seem fair?


Beserkers: "But we are the melee realm cry more newb"


7.Animist pets nuking thru doors doesn't seem fair?


Animist: "But they only last 2 minutes cry

more newb"

If skalds got rocket launchers tomarrow they would be telling everyone "shutup and get more heat resists!" Nobody on these boards cares about game balance. Just a bunch of self-serving children. And its never gonna change.

You should come with me to Merlin! You do not belong on this server at all! Do you sit there and have another computer up while you play pounding refresh on the Herald chanting 'i r uber' while you press your one button kill move and have erotic thoughts about what bending over a vendo would really be like?


Your RPS and IRS score are representative of one thing. You are a zerker.
