Berserker needs better healing skills for solo content

FinalFantasy7FinalFantasy7
in Console - General Discussion
Vampiric blow skill which heals you 12% of your total HP (fully charged) is really bad when fighting a level 69 bam that doesn't give you a chance to attack so you keep blocking or wasting your time charging and see your hp drain away slowly + some bams attacks do poison damage and also doesn't drop healing motes as much as when i fight on my item level 423 brawler. ( brawler = easy mode )

The damage is awesome 5.4m crit with thunderstrike but it lacks healing.

    on my beserker who is 412. fighting the lvl 69s I hardly even get hit on my zerk. Draining HP slowly means you are overcharging too much which is not good to do solo if you cannot manage your HP. My tip to you would be to not overcharge your abilities as much and pace your blocking.

    When you kill bams use this:

    Skill: Tenasity

    Glyphs: Immediately restores 12% of your total HP.

    This should healp alot when you do solo stuff.

    In other news, priests need to do more damage so it doesn't take 2 hours to kill anything.

    When i fight level 69 bams on my brawler, they drop 2 or 3 healing motes which i don't need but on my berserker they drop only 1 healing motes but sometimes nothing.
    You say i should use healing from tenaciy which is 12% of max hp. Its really low healing compared to brawler or lancer healing skill so no.. it does not help much.
    Buff animation are 1 sec and some of them lock you which can put you at a disadvantage against an enemy with high attack speed.


    Priest's dps need to be buffed more for solo content tho. I have level 65 priest but i don't like doing any solo content cuz it's very boring due to low damage output.

    Zerk is very mobile at the endgame and you have to charge your skills when an enemy does the animations or just after. Unlike brawler or lancer you absolutely should not be in the front of the bam, roll THROUGH the boss to his back and instantly charge. Abuse the skill that turns bosses back to you and try to keep with thunderstrike right after. Even if both are on cd, just tenacity and run around to the back start charging and hope for kd. Backcrits should make quick end of those bams at 417.
    Backcrit crystals are a must without saying even if you solo.
    As for priests, idk lol level 69 bams solo take me about a minute as with the full dmg crystals and accessories you can crit 2+ mil consistently (even more with consummables and scrolls).

    Brawler is easy mode you don't even take damage from bams and the only damage you should be taking on a zerk is your own overcharged none of the 69s are hard to maneuver around should be able to kill 2 to 4 without needing healing. I usually run slaying when I do bams on my zerker too so I can kill them faster like 3 to 4 hits to kill 69s with keening dawn

    Zerk is very mobile ? Not true. Unless you use the buff that gives you 50 movement speed limited time.
    Zerk can't take damage ? Not true, unless you are talking about tanking as berserker which i never use. If i want to play tank class then i would jump on my brawler or lancer.
    None of the level 69 bams are hard to manuever? Not true. Show me a video where you kill level 69 Onyx Hydraths without blocking and without getting hit. I really like to see that.
    No pc videos btw lol

    It’s not hard to kill one without being hit... I’m not bragging I’m simply trying to understand better on where you struggle. I know some classes can be harder but zerk should be one of the easier ones, I will try to record some today and hopefully it will give an idea on the tactics.
  • BaratosBaratos ✭✭
    Zerk is incredibly mobile when you figure them out the lack of a second dodge does suck though

    Please upload a video of you fighting level 69 Onyx Hydraths without blocking and without getting hit.
    I just tried several times with dash which increase my speed by 50% for 15, Tackle that increase combat speed by 20 for 15 sec and fiery rage which also increases my combat speed by 20 for 15 yet when im getting debuffed i move slow as a turtle + the poison takes 40% of my hp away.
    Also the bams do not drop healing motes, or not as much as when playing other class such as mystic (which doesn't need it yet you see 100 healing motes everywhere) or brawler, lancer, priest. It makes no sense.

    This class is really getting boring with lack of healing. Still fun in dungeons but not solo content.

    Yeah I agree about zerk, stopped doing supercede BAMs because of constant potion and tenacity spamming (if keening dawn motes dropped more often it would be alright though).
    My priest is using only DPS crystals and all gearrolls are for damage aswell, Ghilleglade, and ace dungeons/arena are fast and easy (boosted damage in GG and Ace ofcourse) but intercede/supercede BAMS take to long for my liking (same goes for mystic).
    I only do IOD on lancer and brawler now since I dont have time to do them on all characters anyway.
    When we get separate cooldowns on evasive smash and roll it should be alot better but a little more selfheals would be nice when soloing as you say.
  • elixir66elixir66 ✭✭
    If this is the same as in the PC version the issue with dropping motes comes from the attack speed of berserkers vs other classes since it's a chance on hit.
    as for soloing on berserkers I haven't done it with new content on PS4 so my experience with berserkers and soloing is from back before the level cap went up to 65 so super old but I remember them being one of the easiest classes to solo on at the time...

    So you come from PC I gather (with quite a few differences from what I have read) since xbox/ps4 had level 65 from release as far as I know.
    And its not so much that its hard but when I can do it faster with brawler/lancer (tanks) compared to a DPS Zerker I skip the zerker for now.
    And I like to do the IOD bams when watching TV since its boring and its alot easier to do them with brawler/lancer where you do not have to be as involved as with a zerker :-)
    And even with around 300 crit I feel like my thunderstrike isnt critting nearly as much as it should.
