Solo Zerks [discussion]
Every class have an aspect that let it survive in dgs and do some content solo. Zerker's resistance does the worst job, its almost useless for solo dging since it doesn't compensate for low speed when u are gangbanged by dg ais.
Mah suggestion: Impervious Armor: 'In his rage, the beserker can focus solely on his target.' +2.5% Resistances, -2% Speed +25 soak damage
Or nerf resistance boost to compensate for soak damage if it'd be oped. Soaks would make soloing dgs much easier imo.
Don't expect new players from fabled c2 players influence to buy 2 accounts just so they can play as a zerker. Thats my point.

Re: Solo Zerks [discussion]
Depends on how you are augged... You can't roll into a DG solo with an Oly setup and expect to do as well as someone who augs for dg'ing. Not gonna happen.

Re: Solo Zerks [discussion]
When I was leveling on my Zerk way back when I used 2 CaL, H+ on a Zebra and had very minimal IArmor. Worked great kiting with ZSpitters.

Re: Solo Zerks [discussion]
Yeah, you can aug zerker for ex. with range and speed and kite ais with zspitters but thats not the point. SDs have speed that let them dodge enemy ai's. Seers and snipers can hide from ais. Shms have large bank and regen that let them survive. FCs can aug for resists coz slaves are their dps source. Gunners can either outspeed ais or tank like FC's. Engis solo easily.
Zerk's main attribute are resists, but they are kinda useless while soloing atm.

Re: Solo Zerks [discussion]
I actually kinda agree with this suggestion, and to me it doesn't seem like it would be that unbalanced at low or high levels. However, i think that it might make them overpowered in pvp versus other classes that have high ROF, like SD's or other zerks. You're suggesting that high level zerks get 500 damage taken off every shot that hits them...that's a crapload of damage in a lot of situations XD
So good idea, not necessarily the best implementation.

Re: Solo Zerks [discussion]
Zebra with Alby CaL Hera+, DTS+, PZT, speed bar skill, and Zerk Speed Aura will get you 256 speed and fairly decent agility.
Then get ZSpitters or MMags to rape DG's.
It's not all that hard. >_>

Re: Solo Zerks [discussion]
How do you propose to get the Recompiler on a Zebra?

Re: Solo Zerks [discussion]
Zerk is fine as-is. This suggestion really has no place on the forums. Just because one setup can't do all content ingame doesn't mean anything is wrong. Make a DGing setup and quit trying to use Oly setups for what they were not meant to be used on.
Also, 500 soak is so stupidly broken it's not even worth mentioning in this post, the absurdity should speak for itself.

Re: Solo Zerks [discussion]
Those setups are based on speed and kitting while I'm trying to discuss a possibility of zerker dging in its natural way, as a tank.
