Can we possibly look at a toggle for disconcerting? it was mentioned almost a year ago that a toggle for this would be nice do to a clash with it and mangling.. ive often seen times where i want to drop the big burn, manually or controlled via plugin and my dps suffers from about 2.5m to under 1m. im also asking this because some do use this for more then just group content that chat had said it would be pointless for before. a raid setting like zlandi or sontalak or even crusaders requires burns that go all out using top discs.

?
You are in luck!

if you would prefer to use mangling over disconcerting, have you tried "/ber usemangling on"

/zerk UseMangling true/false/on/off/0/1 - Replaces brutal disc with mangling and pushing down burns 1 tier.

This was added in January.
 
I've noticed that even with Vindicating Frenzy, the plugin will run Demolishing Frenzy and was wondering if this is a bug or there was a specific reason for this?

it is probably because you don't have appropriate AA levels for the synergy proc

From the MQ2Berzerker FAQ:

Q. Why is it using Demolishing/Mangling over Vindicating?
A. We have logic in mq2berzerker to handle what rank of your synergy AA line you have. If you don't have high enough Synergy it is going to use the lower ability to get that sweet sweet synergy proc.
 
This plugin has been great with running 3 115 zerkers. I'm just curious about 1 item, my 3 zerkers dont seem to be using their skills right after cool down like axe of derakor/vindicating volley/vindicating axe. The skill pops off refresh and they activate it again after 1 or 2 seconds. It happens when I have them on the main screen and i'm guessing when i'm not looking at them. Particle density is set to low for all of them while i run a total of 6 boxes. Foreground and background fps set to 60 for both. CPU and GPU hovering around 70-80% for both. No eqwire loaded and on a relatively empty SSD drive. I dont think any antivirus is actively scanning things and no drop/cloud sharing services going on. Spoke with some other folks and they see their skills mashed right when they are off cool down. Any suggestions on what to update?

all of the dmg discs are used when they're reported as ready and after the last time a disc was used plus our skill delay, there shouldn't be any difference between your toon or someone else's toon as to frequency of using abilities that i can think of.

we don't smash buttons 24/7, we use them when they're ready and have an order that those things happen in, so it might just be you thinking there's an issue that isn't really an issue.

perhaps worth checking on a dummy over a designated amount of time compared to a friend, do that half a dozen times for 5+ minutes and see if there is a discrepancy between the amount of fires of a particular ability

I can attest to this too, i run multiple crews with 2+ berzerkers in each concurrently and they all fire stuff work well as described above. Anything on your rig that might be slowing down response times maybe?
 
what is the skill delay? i'm probably just seeing that, I only installed a few days ago. before that i just had things bound to mash buttons

its just a delay to prevent spamming - its the global skill delay. its not something you would notice.
 
How are you getting Zerker DPS in the 600-800K range. I am not getting anywhere near that using MQ2BerZerker.
having a good 2hander, AAs, hdex augs, dmg type 3s, providing them with ADPS from classes like bards and/or beastlords, ensuring you get fast engage times with autoassistat at good value - i have all of my toons autoassistat set to 100, tribute, etc

all my toons are group geared, and my zerksdo over 2m a piece on zlandi

Synergy (giver) classes are a huge part of it. Gear is super important, good combo of givers + 2x berzerker helps a ton too. Zerk's are all about stats/gear, love them but hate them for it too...it's not as forgiving as say mages, rangers, druids, which can synergy of each other easily.

They do their best work (IMO) when paired with the right classes EX: Tank/2X Zerk/Bard/Beast/Shaman.

While i enjoy the above like features, i still prefer tank/enc/cleric/zerk and whatever utility you want to throw in. Nothing beats a cleric for healing and enchantress for crowd, peace of mind. I can wait the 5-10 extra seconds per kill for continued peace of mind.
 
eh, depending on level, epic is largely obsolete in the modern game. The big boost from epic is the +crit chance, but a max level, modern geared berserker will already be hitting 100% crit chance with hdex alone. In fact, the auto-attack swings that you missing out on by casting epic result in you actually losing damage.

I tell folks if you don't know if you do or don't need it - you should get it.
 
Not sure if its just me but across multiple PCs and dozens of zerkers none of them are using dicho/composite/dissident rage using the latest version of mq2berzerker on next. Yes i checked they all have the axes required to use it.


It's also not using braxi and yes usebraxi is set to true

Is there a way (could be something I am overlooking) to limit how many axes this plugin summons? 600+ axe of the demolisher/300 axe of the mangler is clogging up my bags 😂

we only summon axes if you have less than 200
 
The Berserker epic is useless if youre over 4k HDex. At that point youre at 100% crit rate and it will lessen your overall DPS to stop and click it. Whether youre using this or playing manually, if youre over 4k HDex with buffs or not, put the epic in your house. Any clicky for that matter is stealing DPS once you have a disc rolling. Be mindful of what youre using in the addclicky section and when.

show me your 4k hDex.

what i tell people in regards to the epic is "if you don't know if you should or shouldn't get it, you should get it". If you're already at a place where you're over your crit cap, and don't need the clicky, you already know you don't need the clicky

also, you don't addclicky the epic - it is used automatically.
 
I won't show you but Im at 4600 HDex buffed, no tribute. I understand it might be harder to reach at the group game level gearing but not impossible if you update augs and Heroics AA's. The addclicky was in reference to any DPS stealing click. I know it uses it automatically which is why I suggest putting it into your house.

Are you sure you don't mean "Dex" instead of "HDex", because 4600 HDex is a hard sell without proof. :-P
Yeah total Dex, Im sorry I didnt mean to make sweaty palms over it. It's so common to me I often forget to differentiate. You will absolutely lose DPS clicking that epic during a fight though. Pre-click with no SHM or lost buffs....yeah.

yeah 2900 is definitely not 4600

the highest on magelo is 3200, so was not buying your claim of 1400+ additional from buffs not including tribute and such.

Lol if you had that kinda HDex I was going to PM you for all your sekrats. haha.

Magelo is able to be tinkered with so getting your info there was not the smartest path. You deleted my other post so just wanted to make sure you know I think that was lame top delete because you got your feels in a bunch.

I'm not going to argue with you.

I dunno what your beef is.

Wikipedia has nothing to do with this thread and posting off-topic stuff is going to get deleted. trying to insult me isn't going to work out for you either.

you said your peace about hDex and usage of the epic, which is accurate, as mentioned and discussed by others in this thread already. There is no need to come into the thread and start tossing poo around and creating drama where there isn't any.

Maybe you should parse that again :) From my understanding 4k dex with epic = 100% crit rate not without epic. Maybe im wrong.

4200 total dex - I'm not going to do some 12 hr parse here but 5m parse with just auto attack 91.8% crit rate
I did the same parse with epic and it was a 100% crit rate on auto attack.

If you really want I will do a 12 hr auto attack parse at 5k total dex in the GGH but its unlikely going to be 100% crit rate without epic.

Keep in mind we're just talking base crit rate with auto attack not your crit rate with other abilities like dicho, volley etc. From my understanding the 300% crit hit chance increase applies to everything that is a melee hit not just auto attack.

CWTN/SIC...noticed this is happening a bunch today on the MQ2Berzerker plug-in. Tried Unload/Load, restart...it's inconsistent but for whatever reason the berzerker in modes 5 and 6 keeps getting stuck after it pulls a mob, runs to the tank, and then just sits there spamming that...thoughts?
