Berserker

Overview:

Berserkers are one of the top DPS classes in EverQuest. In parses of equally geared classes, they will often switch ranks with Wizards and Rogues depending on the type of battle. They are chain-wearers, and share an HP table with paladins and shadowknights, and thus can also often tank in XP groups with sufficient gear and AAs. (For every 1 stamina a berserker gets, they get the same HP gain as a paladin or SK would.)

Berserkers have relatively little utility, but do have a useful instant-cast snare and an instant-cast stun which aids in their survivability. Both abilities check against physical avoidance instead of a regular magical resist and thus land relatively consistently. They also receive a progressive tome line (short duration, long reuse timer) called "War Cry" that buffs his/her group's attack and provides a form of overhaste called "Hundred Hands". Since their addition to the class listing with the Gates of Discord expansion, Berserkers have been touted a pure-damage dealers with all of their other abilities following very far behind in relative importance.
