Anet told us Berserker will be nerfed. Hands down, nothing big will change in PvE. However, im wondering whether Berserker or Assassin or a mix of both will result in most dps. Im currently full Berserker and would be really kittened if I had to craft for Assassin.

Thanks for ur attention and patience.

berserker will be the best after the patch.

Actually assassin is part of the “zerk” set and is getting nerfed as hard as celestial with the new update.
Since assassin is precision focused it already has less damage than berserker. Factor in the ferocity change and assassin becomes kitten poor…

So

Berserker > Assassin

in all regards?

No mix?

Assasins will be useless after patch. It will lose about 2-3% more dps. And was only about 0,0X better then pure berserker.

the change to ferocity is part of a larger change to ’zerk (and anything else with Crit Damage). I would wait until we know more about what is to come before making any major changes.

It wouldn’t make any sense to nerf it first and then buff it again. Otherwise we’d be asking what is the point of this whole debacle!!

The more crit chance you have the more crit damage nerf affects your dps. So Assassin gear is getting hit harder then berserker.

The only reason I feel one would take assassin’s gear in the first place is if their build is in dire need of precision. If not, then you might as well select berserker’s.

You should be able to do some simple math to decide if it’s worth slotting assassin’s instead of berserker’s, but if you’re not sure then you are likely better to just slot berserker’s.
