Question - MQ2Berzerker does less dmg than mage or necro

[laslow1908]

I bought MQ2berzerker a month or so ago, Figured I had to level up and get zerker AAs and he would perform better, but necro and mage consistantly out dps him especially on named. I am becoming annoyed that I paid for this plugin and he is my weakest link. Am I missing something?? The necro is my main and is raid geared. But I still think the zerker should be out performing ALL of them.

I can do more dmg than that on a 110 berzerker with mq2berzerker

do a /zerk missing - are you missing any abilities?
are you missing axe components?
do you have your epic 2.0?

what is your weapon like? personally recommend a 36'r

What is your AA like - particularly your focus AAs - once you get into tov abilities, if you don't have the matching focus you can actually lose dps compared to tbl/ros with focus aa because of the poor design dbg with focus aa

you also have zero adps to give to the zerk - zerkers are primarily "takers" which means they scale really well with adps, from classes like bard, or bst, ranger, or even enchanters.

I did /zerk missing and fixed everything for that days ago. I have the highest level axe component and he is creating 3 different types of axes. I have not done my epic for him but I would not think it would impact dps this greatly. I am using the T3 group tradeskill for the weapon. Velium Infused Great Hammer. He is up to 25k AA now. I have not done Extended Havoc, Arcslice, Jarring Smits, Kick in the Shins , Vicious Cyclone or Frenzied Axe of Rallos. I had been using the MQ2zerker that came with VV even though I paid for it, then last night I downloaded the file from the MQ2zerker resource page and put that file in. Seemed to double his dps on normal mobs. Then went and bought the aug focus TBL suggests on the 1st page. This morning I wake up and he seems to be lagging behind in dps again.

 

[laslow1908]

I tried a bard when I began the zerker, the bard did not work well for me so I swapped to a chanter. So I do have an enchanter in my group.

Well tov max AA for a zerker is something like just shy of 42k, and you have 25, so take out 3500ish for tradeskill and you're still 12k+ behind, those focuses are pretty important.

yes the epic is very important. the file in the launcher and resource page are the same.

I would also check your background fps for your boxes - if you have it lower than say 30 or 60, it can cause issues where eq skips cpu cycles (or something equally frustrating).

 

[laslow1908]

The zerker was at 0 BFPS, I pushed it up to 70 and it appeared to help to a degree.

This is what I expect a zerker to do or better. But then a named spawned....

BFPS is now 70 on zerker and probably low on all the other toons.

 

[laslow1908]

I just dont see why his dps will sag so much when I fight named. Im happy to change settings or whatever you think may fix this, just let me know what numbers work best. Should I stop working on Class AA and Archtypes and finish off my Focus AAs first? This is my first zerker so I have no knowledge about them. I made him and bought MQ2zerker after watching your video.

 

[laslow1908]

I have now changed entire group to around 80 or 85 BFPS. I almost think the burns are going off on normal mobs so there is nothing left for named. Not sure though...

Another named....Does this plugin need epic and max AAs? Certainly seems I shouldnt be doing half the damage at 25k AAs.

if your burns are going off on normal mobs - do you have selected "burn always" I don't recommend burning always as you won't have any good stuff when you need it. I keep mine on burnallnamed.

this plugin doesn't "need" anything, it uses what it has available.

 

[laslow1908]

No, I have tried using Burn Always but I do not have that set today. I am even trying to force a burn on the named now that I got from your Grik video or your hotbuttons you showed.

 

[jande]

Just a thought, open up your combat skills make sure that you have the relevant 250 spell
Dichotamic 101 / Dissident 106
e.g


Recently leveled up some new zerkers and after scribing it was not there. Had to talk to the npc to refresh my memory.

i don't do anything fancy for griklor - i just have my berzerker set to assist at 100, switchwithma on, and burnallnamed

MQ2berzerker told me a week ago when I did the missing command to go speak to the spell person in Stratos. It seemed to fix that issue. My default for MQ2zerker is set at 98 out of the box, I have not really tried to change anything since I assumed out of the box would be best to start with.

for most folks, 98 is fine, and what they're used to - I was just sharing how i have my dudes setup.

 

[laslow1908]

Is there a command to make it start at 99 or 100 each time it is loaded? I have dialed it up before manually on the /show screen but each time I play it has to be adjusted

DPS seems really low for sure here, and the named seem to be alive quite a long time. The named for me are all 35 seconds or under usually for me. With the buff to necros, the longer fights they absolutely should be doing more dps since the dots have time to ramp up. Not having a Bard in your group will severely dampen the zerker dps, the chanter will work wonder's for your caster classes. Seems like the group make up you have favors the casters, I would expect the casters to always out dps your zerker unless you build the group around your zerker with Adps etc.

 

[laslow1908]

Well, I tried a bard with my original make up, but he was causing me issues since I was brand new to playing other classes. I swapped him out for the chanter and am having much better luck with the chanter. The chanter and bard are on same account so I can swap them around if I like but I do prefer the chanter at this time. The thing of it is he seems to do fine until 5 or 6k then the mage and necro pull ahead and the zerker just kind of sputters along. He will suddenly do twice the dps of the necro and mage then a mob or two later he goes back to being the lame duck.

98 is too low for velks mission and will result in the zerker lagging behind. 98 is okay for the first mob because you can hit HT on the SK to start the burn, but the 2nd and 3rd names will take a while to get to 98. Meanwhile, the zerker is standing there.

changing with a slash command saves the setting to your ini

**EDIT** I really just responded to a two year old post Sorry guys, Imma leave it though.

Also, the left side of the userface thingy where you can choose your mode in the drop down. You can scroll you will see a burn condition for the amount of mobs you have (I think default is 5) so if it's defaulted to 5, when you hit that 5 mobs on extended, burn conditions are met and you'll start using disc. That could explain why some are down, possibly?

Also, above you asked about the assist numeric. It's on that same area on the left side, you just simply click in the box and type the number you want, on super HP mobs like named in Cov/ToL you'll at least want 99, if not 100. Tank can take a while to knock those mobs down 2% when they have like 230 Million hp.
