Arc Divider: Reduced damage in PvP and WvW by 25%. The downfall of berserker!

As you know, berserker lost its ability to use core burst skills. Before berserker was reworked, we had access to TWO F1 skills + berserker mode. Anet decided to put all that damage in just one F1 skills and now its nerfing it by 25%.

Who the hell think these changes? Its like a teen is in charge, a very disorganized teen. Perhaps even an unpaid inter!

They made the whole spec arround the gs... it was the only reason to use the rework zerker spec. The dam spec weap is a torch...... Well still... with the nerfed Arc Divider there is no reason anymore to take zerker over spb. They should buff something else and not jsut nerf it. Idk why they dont test their stuff on a dam test server. I cant imagine how many ppl made sets just for the zerker.

Hell, I knew that change was coming the day they released Arc Divider ... the way it works was ridiculous and I can't believe it was released that way. It had to happen though ... it was hard carrying the whole spec ... hopefully it's the start of Anet giving a more thoughtful design it deserves.

We knew this was coming, if you didn't then you were just being silly.

Arc Dividers damage was carrying the entire spec, nothing else was doing anything for it. Now that the damage has been nerfed, and will probably get nerfed more watch, the inadequacies of Berserker will start to show much more glaringly to people once they are unable to 1 shot people.

Thoughtful design it deserves... That'll happen...But yeah it was going to happen it was obvious.

Yeah this exactly.Besides changing runes/sigils/traits can still get the dmg back from the nerf anyways.Im running it now in wvw and the damage really seems fine,not broken as it was but decent enough to still run it. People overreact as always without looking for options to get that damage back or still make use of berserk without spamming gs burst only,now you might actually have to swap weaps to burst on your other set aswell...

IT would have been better if they did. As long as the 'high DPS' screen is in place, it will be hard to appeal for correction of the deficiencies in design. The fact that the design is so reliant on DPS from a single effect and weapon to carry it is indicative enough there are problems that aren't corrected with changing numbers.

No, he's not deficient and making it a core warrior with berk stance on top of it like you very clearly always wanted it to be is nothing else but power creep and something that shouldn't be in the game like this in the first place. After all that "design" garbage talk you keep showing how uninformed about it you really are.
