How will my zerk barb fare?

[Sovereign]

hmm? HMM?

He uses ebotd cb. 6.6k-13k zerk damage dual wield. 9k Single handed. =D =D =D =D =D.

All vita build. Ill probably have 45 block wif items when done. (for stormhield)

ive come to relieve without max block true melee pk'ers will laugh @ you...ive never made a character with max block cause never understood the your block rate is under your defence not what you shield has >_<...but i would just through the maybe 50 dex points into it to get block rate up there...other then that i dont see why it wouldnt be teh 1337z3r

I think that you will need to wield a shield because without it you will get hit EVERY single time becuase when ever you swing with Zerk you defence goes to 0. With a Botd Zerker your range will be 3. Also zerker barbs have a hard time hitting anything but melee becuase it has a slow animation. Not sure of the rest of your equipment but i think enigma would be the best armor to allow you to get close enough to hit anyone except tele whores.

what is the range thing, i see people talking about it???

[slaynish]

Okay.

Lets convert actual gaming few inches into a milimeter.

With a zerker, you can WW and hit them being 10 milimeters away. With a CB you can do like being 15 milimeters away. The advantage? You can hit a Zerker WWer 5 milimeters before the zerker wwer can hit you.

Atleast thats what i assume. Its not 100% accurate, probabaly not even 10% accurate, but who knows.

[HandOfHeaven]

It may not be accurate in distance, but that's the basic concept.

[zygoat]

ok so if, 2 ww'ers ww'd at each other the one with the cb would hit the other first? could you just guestamate the range on the length of the weapon?

[HandOfHeaven]

Eh, it's hard to say in length of, say, pixels. But slaynish has a pretty good idea, if you both WW at each other, the longer weapon length would most likely hit first.

[Sovereign]

He has a shield....

Wif arreats + 2x near P ravens (20 dext each) he has max block. The 45 block was a random guess. Didn't think i'd have as much dext as I did.

[Sovereign]

I do think ebotd cb has bigger range, but that's not the reason I chose it. I didn't even take it into consideration.

OriginallY I was going to use EBOTD tunder maul. MASSIVE zerk damage, but no block and its slow.

I decided to go with CB because it can be held in one OR two hands. Sure it's damage isnt as high, but IMO its better.

[tidus2005]

Actually you are both wrong and right Sov. When using a CB in two hands it has a range of 5, but when using it in only one hand it has a Range of 3 which is the same as a EBOTD Zerker. 3 is the highest 1 handed range. and 5 is the range of two handed weapons. well i guess minus bows which have insane range. I also still think that you might want to consider putting some more into dex due to the fact that i dont think you realize how often melee will hit a barb when they have 0 defence from zerk.
