high end dps balancing berzerkers

[jsre]

.I could have 260 base damage on my 2 hander and my max hits are exactly the same as 255base damage seems something is wrong there also..

255 is the max weapon damage without a code rewrite.

[ChaosSlayer]

well if he has 255 +5 dmg aug, then he would have 260

oops my mistake, thought it included aug and bane damage.

I agree with Ghulak on all points, my main is a zerk and I capped out my dps before i even made it to vp, So with all those augs and upgrades I basically turned into a tank, ac, hps, everything stat-wise went up except the actual damage.
I am not one for complaining about things but this class imho certainly needs to be looked at. thanks!

its not just zerkers, its melee dps in general..im sure the devs are doing some serious makeovers of classes with the coming of 3.0's.. I am just hopeing that this thread helps them in their balancing.. in truth bringing out every class, and parseing them over and over again with different items/abilities trying to make classes somewhat even is a huge job, a job that i personally do not envy.. I can see why they want the community to post our own parses.

zerkers have always been high on the list of needing improvement, monks not too far behind.

Seeing as Vaion is in charge of 3.0s, we will probably be waiting awhile -with aura bugs, DS revisions, and now HoH development, Vaion appears to have his hands full. Not to mention his real life, family, etc.

Vaion definately has his work cut out for him - <3 Vaion!

22%+ 2h slashing mod is needed on berzerker donator...
After todays change in procs, T7 2handed aug from DSK is still less dps then the T3 aug from ST..

Parsed about 300 dps under the T3 one:( over 6 mins

wouldnt mind some nice 2 handed lifetap procs either.. ramp damage surviveabilty is quite a bit less then it should be:(
