I’m just going to leave a topic about zerkers here.
You all know the discussion points.

Most people agree that the fastest and easiest way to clear pve is to go all out dps.
Is it a “meta” we want?
Should non zerkers be buffed? How?
Should zerkers be nerfed? How?

Etc.

What we need is not nerfs or buffs. The first thing must happen is dealing with the condition cap it will open room for more condition type players. On top of that do you need to increase the dificulty of pve so that different type of builds are promoted. I think fractals could be an example of that.

Condition cap shouldn’t be just flat out removed though, or it would trivialize the living crap out of some fights. I think a series of soft caps would be better. Create caps at say…. every 25 stacks, and each grants some diminished returns that gets harsher and harsher the higher you stack. Maybe all stacks over 25 lasts a bit less, or it deals a bit less damage, and the reduction gets harsher on stacks over 50, etc etc.

The guide updates itself based on TP prices to ensure the cheapest leveling straight to 500, so make sure it’s refreshed right before you start and don’t refresh it again until you’re finished (or it will keep changing and be inconsistent). Meant to be used in one sitting.

You can only have up to 2 active at a time, but you can swap them for a small fee.

For example, my elementalist is an artificer and tailor. If I wanted to be a chef as well, I can go talk to the chef master guy and swap either artificer or tailor for chef. At any point I can go back and do the same and re-swap chef for the one I dropped or even another new one, like jeweler.

If I dropped artificer for chef and then swapped them back, my artificer level would be the same. So you can level as many crafting professions as you want, but can only have up to 2 active at a time, making 3+ crafting professions a bit of a pain to level parallel.
