Berserker help

[Grimreefer]

My berserker is pulling too much aggro. How would I write this so he only uses the skills if he has under say 90 aggro.. currently he spams the dps skill and my tank struggles to pull and keep the aggro off him.

Dps=Head Strike|90

This is how I currently have it. But I want to add a condition that he doesn’t use the skill if he has too much aggro.. or if there is a simpler method.

Heyas, What comes to mind is the level, class of your Tank, and if your tank is FTP or not. Anythying below level 75ish, you would have some issues holding aggro.

Also look at aggro abilities/dps on the tank. You can also use aggro weapons/procs. Is it a pet tank etc? (Do you run out of mana, long recast on abilities etc?)

Assuming you use KA:

Dps=Head Strike|90|Cond1

Cond1=${Me.AggroPct} < 75

Rather than tweak your zerker, I bet what you actually need to do is tweak your tank to not suck.

I recently started a fresh group on new server (no easy gear, all green F2P)... I must say I was very spoiled with all the agro multipliers of higher end gear and AA/spells of my primary group. I had to really tinker with keeping tank agro once I got in 57+ range. I had to dial back assist start %. I'd tend to agree with @Sum1, look at your tank and see what you can do to hold agro. This is another reason why tank gear/spells/AA are so important.

As others have mentioned, this may require changed to both your tank and zerker.

For the zerker, first make sure that you have the class AA Distraction Attack trained and enabled.

For the tank, make sure the Aggro section in the INI (if using KA) is enabled and updated. Get a face mask item with Anger effect and make sure the corresponding aggro enhancing AA is trained and enabled. Keep Voice of Thule on your Tank (if SK) at all times.

Use the AggroPct in your INI as a last resort, since that will just lower DPS.

Unfortunately, I don't. See my note under my name for more information.

As soon as I read about the trouble being aggo related I figured they had a warrior.

I agree...because a pally or sk would have probably been dead...instead of struggling to keep aggro. Har! See what i did there...

 

[hackzimus]

If it is a warrior, they don't start picking up in the aggro department until 65/70 at a minimum, when they start getting access to better aggroe weapons and you throw hate procs on them with weapon affinity AA. Plus they get some nice AAs and combat abilities further down the line.

By level 85 your warrior will have quite a bit more in his toolkit and you won't notice this issue as much.

Except I was serious. Just admit you picked a weaker tank that even the mobs don't find threatening. Maybe the mobs think the Ber is the "tank". Tough to tell when there isn't a real tank around.

*shrug* my cleric dies in my afk exp group and the SK just keeps humming right along healing himself while killing 3-4 mobs at a time in current content. But sure, warriors are superior tanks lol.

(here we go again)

When you have an SK a healer is for the rest of the group. AOE for instance.
