I do not think it's a bad class. It just needs some balancing out. It's light attacks are alarmingly quick and deal a fairly large amount of damage. I normally play as a warden and find trouble with dealing with berserkers since I can't find good openings. my thoughts would be to lower the berserker's light attack damage, or tweak the stamina drain for it.
Although I also have some trouble fighting against a berserker, I disagree that their light attacks should be lowered. The Berserker is my favorite character to use so far and I did not feel the Light attacks were to strong. I felt as though it took several light attacks to kill an enemy were as the Orochi on the other hand dealt fairly severe damage with its light attacks. I would rather see the Orochi's light attacks get lowered first.Originally Posted by ConnoR050296 Go to original post
when i first saw the beserker class i thought i would love it but honestly I dont. But the reason I dont like it is not because it is too strong but because it was too hard lol. Sure maybe its rapid attacks deal a lot of damage but I think they should because of the skill needed to get it to work. I play far better as the raider because the play style is different and sometimes I beat the beserkers im facing and sometimes I dont. So in short I think its good where it is.
His hectic playstyle didn't seem to jive with many players, but there were rare duels when a good player managed to figure out his shoves and disrupts. When the berserker has momentum, he's incredible, he maybe just needs more health or speed to compensate for his defense, or lack of. But I'd have to hear form players who dedicated themselves to the class.
As a berzerker player can i say yes, the attacks a really quick and strong. every other character can outplay the berzerker with one thing.... range.... you get space between you and the berzerker. a few steps back or dodge back. the range of the berzerker is the shortest of all and the guard break of the berserker only works if you want to like his nose.
the berzerker is quick, mean, strong and with the infinty chain annyoing, but realy short range. a Good Ken,Raider or warden can easily kill the berzerker
I played quite a lot of Berserker in the last day.
When you figure out how AMAZING the infinite chain is, especially when changing all over the direction of your attack, he's incredible.
Not to mention the "berserker" (dauntless) mode when 4 hits connect (which is not impossible at all).
The only problem left was "how to engage/close the gap with my opponent".
Answer ==> forward dodge + light
(the dodge itself is not, but the attack is uninterruptible.. and can start a chain !)
I mainly played the berserker class (I tried the others too) and I have to say it was my favorite. The drawback would def have to be his range. Sometimes it was annoying fighting other classes with bigger weapons because it was sometimes hard to get close. But once I got in there it was over for the other guy lol. Overall I really enjoyed the game though. Being a hack & slash player, I've never been big on FPS. It's nice to have game game with a melee focus for a change.
