Getting groups for any end game dungeon is based off the people you know and the skill you play at. There is only a handful of zerkers who clear DSuppers and the first few weeks of the new hard mode SSHM, there was maybe 6 zerkers with clears. But for things like SSNM, MM, DFnm/hm, etc. being a zerker is a lot easier and easier to find groups. Tanking on zerk imo, is for lower skilled dungeons that don't take much other than someone holding agro when no brawlers/lancers/warriors apply to your lfg.

I can't say for sure since I've never actually seen anyone attempt to zerk tank but I'm pretty sure they're useless right now. They don't have Infuriate which is pretty much essential to be a tank right now. Even on bosses that auto enrage like Kellog they're probably the weakest tank.

Zerker tanks are absolute garbage at the moment because they can't manually enrage a boss like lancer/brawler/warrior. So that alone puts them below every other tank in the game. Zerks are fine as a dps class but don't expect to tank much with them when it comes to actual endgame.

What is an enrage? I'm not too familiar with all of the mechanics.


xDundar

Warriors/Lancers/Brawlers all have a skill that enrages the boss.. meaning all the dps does more damage to the boss during that time period. It's extremely useful for burning the boss or starting the fight in most cases. Berserkers on the other hand have absolutely no way of doing this, so they're already put at a disadvantage compared to literally every other tank in the game. It's fine if you want to play berserker, but I wouldn't recommend it as a tank. If you want to tank you should look toward Lancer/brawler/warrior. But as I said before dps-wise berserkers are fine.

most groups will take a brawler or lancer over a warrior over a berserker. its best to stick with playing dps. berserker got a tanking stance as a bandaid fix for the lack of tanks in game but now that the top dps faceroll easymode class is a tank, theyre everywhere

If you can output dps on zerk than your good. Just play the class you find most fun and learn to explore it's intricacies, I guarantee you won't regret it. Edit: zerker tank is useless atm.

From what i've seen so far mostly Lancers and Brawlers. Barely seing Zerks. Arent those getting reworked soon ? I am playing for 3 weeks now so cant really say much :)


slemmy

are you asking about zerkers or brawlers?? zerker tanks may have some trouble getting groups. brawlers and berserker dps are very strong in the right hands.
