Q:
Marauder vs Berzerker
Just a guess but it might be that everyone is getting one-shotted so easily that the vitality makes it possible to survive long enough to get the combo off. I’ve seen a lot of people say that damage has outstripped health.
Metabattle is stupid. Don’t care what amulet they recommend. I am going zerker all the way. Either it’s me or them – cowboy style^^
Chronomancy works, I am proof of it. Now stop asking me questions. Time must be preserved!

If your build isn’t capable of downing someone in the span of about 2-3 seconds or less(or you aren’t capable of doing that), Marauder will probably be better. More chance for error if the burst fails too so you can be more of a team player I guess. Against other mesmers I like Marauder since all it takes is one second of distortion to screw up your whole day.
Luckily with Lock Down I do not rely on huge damage burst (I still can burst, if I want to^^), but can wear my opponent(s) slowly down while I deny them their own offense. I love Lock Down, and this is why going anything but zerker is imo just a waste of potential.

The reason is because of the synergy between the amulet’s stats and fury uptime.
Of course in actuality this is highly dependent on what build you’re running, and in the case of metabattle they’re only listing “shatter” specs right now. The best thing about marauder imo is that those extra hp’s will cover you against extra condi ticks. If you’re gonna eat a propper burst, you’re gonna eat a propper burst and go down regardless of what glass ammy you’re taking. Going back to the build point, if you’re running a build with Illusions, the heavy condi cleanse + bonus heals easily cover the lower hp pool with superior healing (running mantra heal, imo).
So ya, pretty much maurader wins out because fury overcomes precision loss of zerker.

You actually have more precision with the Marauder Amulet than with the Berserker Amulet (1050/1050/560/560 vs 1200/900/900), so I don’t know why fury has anything to do with it.

Oh well then, more precision with + fury = more crits. I was only half-listening to Rytlock when he explained, thus the misinformation ;D
