Need Help Choosing a Race For Berserker
I am looking for a race that is agile and has really smooth animation. I mainly see male humans, male Aman, and Elin. I wonder which one has what I am looking for? Does the passives for the race matter? Male or Female?

but it shouldnt be a huge diff. its not like sorc or something like that where elin is incredibly busted
I don't know about you, but most zerks I've come across were femani.
Elves (both genders)? Not so much.
I prefer Amani Zerk tho, Tough, feels right for class.
But for you, just ask yourself: "whose butt do I wanna stare at the most?"
If you want some of the best heavy looking armor skins in the game available to you with normal animation's meaning no huge advantage but no huge draw back to picking the race pick castanic male. or High elf or amani. If you want to be silly or riddiculous pick Popori male or baraka (although Baraka have have some nice heavy armor they really aren't that great.) but know that these races have a huge disadvantage in terms of animation and you will not be able.To rely on zerkers ability to staggerlock to help open people up for combos.
If you want decent heavy and can accept a small difference in staggerlock but wanna be better then a baraka pick Human. They also get a nice racial ability that when used makes them immune to stagger or knock down for a few seconds.
Castanics get 1% more back crit making them decent for pve but not really comparible to Elins in terms of damage.
In the end though any race is "viable" for pve and PvP if you know what you're doing. However elins have alot more options and ways to open up on someone rather then any of these other races +the ability to skate. which no other race can really do. Pick what you like rather then what is best if you enjoy a certain race for some reason then pick that race and learn how to play as that race.
The true potential of a class is held in the hands of it's player while a race may give a certain advantage or allow a class to do certain things because of it. A good player learns how to function without racial advantage's.
(Although I will say fighting lancers as a castanic male or rnanged without the ability to abuse certain tricks elins get can be quite frustrating making you go after awhile "I wish I was an elin or I wish the animation speed of elins came and was put across all races to make them equal. you can still win without the need of elin trickery it will just be a little bit more difficult."
