aren't they similar play styles? both use 2hand weapons and shit


Zerkers is slower, but in heavier armor.
Damage is good, but gameplay is a bit repittive, they can also block.


Slayers are a bit faster in term of attack speed, and do pretty good damage, they wear lighter armor.
If I recall correctly slayers cant block, but they can dodge with rolls, personally i played the zerker to lvl 27 and wasnt that much of a fan.
The gameplay gets a bit old of always charging abilities.

you'll find that all the classes are quite simple and have a relatively small arsenal of skills compared to other MMOs of the scale

but given the gameplay (needing to aim your attacks) its forgivable so its either your cup of tea or not

Slayers get a cleave too. Also, pvp as a berserker is not going to be easy just to let you know. You sacrifice a lot of mobility to play one and zerkers do have high dps, but if you can't hit your targets in pvp it doesn't really matter. You really have to rely on a group for pvp as a zerker.

PvP as Berserker:
hit enemy = dead enemy
cant reach enemy = dead Berserker

Warriors can be played as DPS or Tanks, which ever you prefer, but Tanking as a warrior is much harder then tanking as a lancer.
Its basically dodging and being aware of the special attacks of all bosses.

AOE attack or Frontal ect ect, if its AOE, its useless to dodge through the boss since you are gonna get hit on the other end and you need to dodge away.
Good Warriors will probably exceed good lancers though.

It doesn't matter if its aoe or not. You are in an invincible frame as you dodge. There is also death from above which puts you in invincible frames.
However, warriors are no longer considered viable tanks for late game. They have even been removed all together from tank queing in the LFD. They are trying to make them more dps-worthy and are now around rank 3/5 in terms of dps.
