a properly executed berzerker is disgusting in dps.
rogues are mean too if you wanted to do just outright melee. but mages are easier to autopilot/drive vs melee

the berserkers would trump the mages in dps 10/10 times without KA use. KA won't attack fast enough to do top tier berserker dps
The mages would be easier to bot than the berserkers 10/10 times and as botted dps, would most likely do better

I didn't make it here in time to post Razkle's suggestion.

I really enjoy Enchanter / Wiz / Mage with these mercs: Healer / Wiz / Wiz
With the mage you get great pet tanking, coh, some so-so dps, and some mana regen (mod rods) - I use the mage as role "pet tank" and use the servant to break mez. Pretty much set it and forget it. You could however, use pullerpettank role in some places, though the enchanter is a better puller.
With the enchanter you get a great puller, CC'er, slower, mana regen, runes, and boosts to direct damage casting (Chromatic haze, plus the one they are adding with EoK expansion) - I actually play my enchanter and chain pull to the group. I get them all debuffed and wait for the mage to take them. The enchanter requires a bit of work to be able to take a few hits while you get them mezzed. Get lots of AC and AGI and work defensive, then you can pull and even tank a bit if the mage pet dies for some reason.
With the wiz you get ports and let's face it, DPS!!! You also get snare and lower element that enhances the other casters. I keep them with the mage and sometimes us AFNUKE2, but it's a bit buggy and I like the "merc assist" feature in the kiss set up.
Using the mercs you just put the wiz mercs on burn but use the kiss "merc assist" feature in kiss to start nuking around 98% or so.
Let us know what you decide.

Dead hills max kills = SK, Cleric, Wiz, Wiz, wiz, Wiz
I kill so fast it is head spinning!
mages and whatever you are referring to sound to me like crappy progression nonsense....

Monkey, I log over 100 toons into zones and murder the place and never have a zone lag out.... not sure what is wrong with that server....

I added merc control to AFN2, its real easy:
OPTIONAL Around line 128, right before "/echo =+= Raz's Version of AutoNuke Engaged =+="
Rich (BB code):
/if (${Mercenary.State.Equal[Active]}) /mercassist offJust in case I forget to turn off Assist. Then...
Around line 635, right above/before :Combat (and a little after :killtarget)
Rich (BB code):
/if (${Mercenary.State.Equal[Active]} && ${Target.PctHPs}>25 && ${Target.PctHPs}<=98 && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]}) {
/mercassist
/echo AFNuke2 Merc Assist at ${Target.PctHPs}%
}Works like a charm.

Regarding wizards:
There are only a few, if only one (Zerk), classes that have better DPS than a wizzy. But, the wizzy has better sustainability. Meaning, they can go longer without downtime than any of the other DPS classes I have tested without medding, and then they can med fast with ENC or BRD (Rallying Call). I've seen 350k+ DPS with the Zerk, and I had to see it multiple times before I believed it wasn't a calc error on DPS, but he goes thru END like water on a mount. So not sustainable (at that DPS). Wizzy is still king!

mind posting your ini and mq2melee files for zerkers?
If I had to choose 1 healer and 5 of another class it would be cleric wiz x5. I don't think that the dps advantage a druid would benefit you over the heal power of a cleric going with your 1 + 5 rule.
