Looks like a monk with weapons to me. Now THAT is just horrible. Warriors do need to be upgraded, too. Or Shadowknight/Paladin need to get less aggro.

maybe the berserker has PBAoE melee attacks?

One thing I have seen associated with Berserkers that I haven't seen mentioned here is that they often have a great throwing skill, and that is something that SOE has plenty of room to specialize upon. Perhaps specific weapons will allow Berserkers to have unlimited, or partially limited access to some kind of throwing device or weapons. In one game, I think it was Age of Empires, they throw axes for good damamge at short ranges. This may fit into the "evil ranger" line of theories. A ranged weapon specialist.

yeah... well everyone seems to be in an upheval.. so all i got to say , to help u guys out, that if you have played ANY other rold playing game with a "berserker" AKA, barbarian.. u would know, like myself.. that the would recive MORE HP than a warrior, but would be unable to wear more that chain, or the most recomended.. LEATHER armor.. making there ac low, but there ability to "shrug off some of the damage would make up for that... And, also, IF the class had a "rage" type ability it would be used like.. i want to say lay hands, or harm touch.. but we all know how much we would rather to be able to use it again a little sooner. The problems still remain, if anyone has some insight, id be glad to read it, and then through some truth back in your faces...

I love to see people state there opion about things only to see they have never lv'ed a toon to 60 even hehe

I envision a Berserker to be that of a Barbarian in medium to no armor,(or any Large Race) that can become battle frenzied once faced with overwelming odds in a fight.

Once the Berserker becomes Berserked, he may take an increadible amount of damage that would normally fell a giant and still be standing. After the battle is over the Berserker would become seriously drained of energy and may even die from his mortal wounds.

Berserkers are very strong and has an increased natural ac and are somewhat resistant to elemental magics such as fire and ice. They can weild 2handed weapons with only one hand. They can dual weild and double attack. They can not cast spells however and suffer a very large intelligence loss.

Personally I am very excited about Sony possibly adding this class into EQ but I would much rather see a new race like a Half-Orc or the Forgotten Realm inspired class, "Battle Ragers".

For those that don't know about, "Battle Ragers"...

Battle Ragers were originally dwarves that were extremely armored in rigid, razor sharpened edges and spikes all over their armor. They have no use for weapons and prefer to make the best of their armor by punching enemies with their spiked guantlets and slamming an enemy to the ground or press them against the wall and vigorously squirm around effectively tearing their prey to shreds from their rigid and razor sharpended armor.

Now that's a fun class if ya ask me =)
