Actually, if you watch any of the kill videos involving burnzerkers, it doesn’t require a perfect environment to do the top dps in the game, it is easily done in a raid setting.

I want to see you doing top dps in the game with burnzerker while running the green circles.

- 2 PS Berserker is in the meta for party buffing(not more as far as i know)
- 2 Revenant is in the meta for party buffing(not more as far as i know)
- 1 Crono is in the meta for party buffing(not more as far as i know, unless you want distortion for 10 people)
Some classes are better in some fights, Necro on sabetha, burnzerker on gorseval, i personally don’t like burnzerker on VG

-> BUT if these numbers are true(numbers thrown without the spreadsheet/source has no value), and you can really get this DPS in anyfight, burnzerker will be on meta for unbalanced DPS against other classes, and not for team utility, THAN you need a balance change.

It’s not a versatile build at all.

There are people crying because there so happens to be more than one playable build for warriors so they see 2 ps zerkers + 2 burnzerkers and go “ahhmagaaawwd so much warrior,” and think they’re super OP and meta then search for any misguided way to nerf them.

Just like the condi ranger, burnzerkers aren’t useful in most scenarios. “40% higher damage” is misleading information comparing burnzerker peak spike damage to average/below average for other builds.

As people have stated here, their own spreadsheets show themselves pulling 30k+ average with other builds that are much more versatile with mechanics.

Don’t expect it to last, lots of people who don’t play warrior pushing for the nerf of one of the most useless condi classes.

All hail the warrior nerf, all hail fire that tickles, all hail lord revenant!

Seems like mostly people who are salty their class isn’t top dps on a couple fights. Doesn’t matter whether they nerf condi zerker or not it’s foreseeable future content will render the class’ condition mechanics useless. The class relies too much on a single skill that just happens to be effective on a few encounters. Nerfing the damage isn’t a solution, change the mechanics and distribute the damage on the other skills. Either way, there’s nothing to be said when the “meta” is a boss that never moves and has no pressure on the player.

It also seems the numbers that other people provide totally contradict the “OPness” the class has with its many limitations.

Would be nice to have a single fire field with increased damage, but chances are the mechanics remain the same, stacking removed, no one plays the class anymore =).

Main problem is that it’s situational damage.

If it’s not the perfect environment like an immobile boss or a dummy then its dps drops off significantly which is why it’s not even a suggestably viable build in pvp.

I wouldn’t call it “meta” since most other metas work in many scenarios whereas this one is completely shut down by simple movement.
