noob need help

hi guys ,have several questions and i need your advices :D First.. whats amount of crit factor a zerk should need this patch? i enjoy farming and grinding in general but IOD tier 2 and 3 bams are just pain in the [filtered] with zerk. i literarly need to beat them with "white text" even with ~290 crit factor i have now(base + 2xx). or maybe i missunderstood those guides and when it says 2xx for example its refering to bonus not sum of crit factor? i have meh gear tho : +12 misery wep,glove, misery belt and +12 armor and boots. i also have full gods crit jewlery and +20 crit inerwear. I also have sorc,archer and reaper in full guile +12 and they melt bams quite easy and alot faster than a zerk do, even with them having meh rolls no inerwear and so on. Note my zerk is also perfectly rolled. To sum it up when zerk crits its geat, its just doesnt happen consistently.

since i enjoy playing it the most i consider it my main and most of my resorces will be spent on gearing it and thats my second question. Ik we gona get gear progresion rewamped in few months so is it worth gearing right now or stack mats when the patch hits? I didnt even want to grab misery til i consult here altho i could get it long ago. So shaill i grab atleast misery and wait or continue to go for VM9 after ? or maybe buy VM8 from broker, since i dont think crafting it right now is any worth it. Heres the list of things ive gathered so far : 300 bonanza,300 mwa boxes, around 5-6k tier 2 iod tokens and around 2k tier 3 iod tokens( on zerk) alot of ace credits aswell for t2 etchings and so on. I also have around 300k gold. What would be the best use of my resorces? Should i spent tokens on getting misery gear for example or spent on things that can be sold on auction? Also when the patch hits will my tokens became useless?
If i decide staying on misery gear will making dyads for wep and use t2 etching on misery be a bad thing to do?

Oh and one more thing: universal tokens from new patch, will they be bound? whats the best thing to stack up right now that will be mose usefull later on considering those tokens? SES is looking prety nice since it will convert to 800 of them, is that maybe the answer?

thank you !

  • Zerker has no crit cap. Even if you pick dawn keen mote and have 450+ some of the attacks gonna be white. No fixed numbers. Iod isn't for zerker. That's my strong opinion.
  • Base + 250 crit is good for zerk and sorc, with that they both get around 75% crit chance on main skills like thunderstrike and meteor, BUT only when you hit them from the back, which can be hard when soloing bams. What I do with zerk, (and I dont main zerk so im bad at it) is I approach the bams from behind when starting them to land a good first thunderstrike, then cyclone as they are on the animation turning to me, that still counts as back hits, then you use staggering strike to flip their backs again, and do another TS - VB - combo attack-raze - flatten then charge next TS and evasive smash to their backs as they turn back to you, should be almost dead by then. Using slaying crystal is good for bams too.

    im have a zerk around 280 crit factor and im see a lot whitte numbers, is sad , if you use keen virsk ( o niveot ) you do more crits but with less damage ( in axe you need reoll full damage, noting like less cd, atack speed, or 0.3 crit power since you already have troubles with crits and crit power from nostrum are enought ), dont matter if you brought VM axe if you dont crit with zerk,

    slaying zerk is the best for soloed iod Bams, you can do like more 7-8 m with Tunder strike and Lethla Strike (glyped and glyp from vampiric blow ) + slaying niveot + craving niveot ( yee because dont matter double keen pasive in vb and Ls, zerk still sucks in crit rate, )

    in dungeons the max amouth im crit was in vegel, 13 m no slaying and enraged time with Tunder strike, and misery +12, so zerk was buffed but only in slaying mode.
  • One of zerkers skills has glyph that can help a lot on IOD. I don't remember name but it rotates bam back to you after stun.
