I completed this today for my 46 Berserker. Probably the easiest epic I have ever done - even more so than the ROG or BST. Started it yesterday with no previous preparation or planning, and completed it today. I did the whole quest with an 85 Ranger shadowing me and jumping in as needed. For the final goblin wave portions, a ranger seems like the way to go. I was able to kill the goblins in each wave as fast as I could F8 them. I had no issues with lost/stuck/non-agro spawns, and the directional arrow line of spells worked flawlessly to tag them all immediately. I have a feeling headshot would have been a valid method as well, but HoA/F8/Melee/F8/Melee was near instantaneous waves down - literally seconds, run to his next spot, then wait for pops.
Windblade or 1.0 ?
# Dec 04 2008 at 1:59 PM Rating: Decent
i am wondering if i should get my 1.0 even though i have windblade because i can use the haste on the 1.0 but , i dont think i want to spend the time on it if its not going to be worth it so which should i use ?

u guys are just mad that for once, zekers get a nice weapon. We dont get to heal ourselves with spells, we cant dish massive dmg with spells, we dont get pets, we cant sing gay songs, we cant really take too much of a beating (war's roll), so please just let us deal damage like this class was intended to do. Or u guys can bitch some more about nerfing this item, but make sure to tell them to give us healing spells, nukes, or even a pet! Why lower something made specifically for a class that actually makes the class useful? and if you'r eso upset about how crappy ur epic is, why choose that class? Oh because u dont want to be a zerker b/c that class sucks? well dont bitch. u made u choice, just live with the fact that us zerkers actually do get a + side to us. U dont see me bitching about not having a pet, dots, heals or anything else do u? <when the f*ck r we gonna get pets?>

Effect: Rage of Keras

Not that I'm complaining about the effect ('specially since I have neither this epic nor a Berserker), but the weapon already has 5 AC.. why not just make it 12?
Rage of Keras
# Jul 09 2006 at 3:05 AM Rating: Decent
the effect used to be 40% haste, 40 atk, and 7 ac. when haste and atk became code entities on their own (separate from just putting effect Haste on the weapon then setting it, or the Vengance effect), they were removed from this effect.

as for why they didnt simply remove the effect and up the AC after the change (or why they put it on in the first place), i couldnt say. unless AC on a weapon is calculated differently than buff AC (such as shield AC, which will extend beyond the class softcap)

Just some advice... You may think getting the axes from that ghost is a waste but believe me it took me like 5 minutes to get the mob down 1% with my summoned axes but then i got the axes from the NPC and i got him down 1% every 3-6 axes. Just set up a hotkey to /target that dude then a hotkey for hailing and just face the mob ure throwing axes at so u press the hotkeys target mob throw repeat. took me about 40 minutes to solo the guy using the axes the NPC gave me.

I had a similar problem today with killing the dog. Took forever. Granted, I got my throwing skill up from 72 to 168, so it wasnt all bad. My summoned axes had no effect on the dog, had to use the quest axes.

You have to think of it like this. ALL epics are designed with the expansion they came out in. With the Kunark Epics ( War , Pal, SK etc ), they were more than uber enuff for that time. Now that we are up to GoD type of mobs and gear, the Newer range of Epics will be just as godly for the expansion they come out in. Quit your bitchin and have fun already......

My Beserker has started the epic at lvl 48, soloed the first two parts, was buffed with Virt and Fo7 and SoV took out image easily, rarly had to heal, used maybe 5 bandages, first part took me 1 hr, and 10 min with my Mithril axes, I decided would take too long to keep hailing the ghost for 3 axes... so I just used my own, went through 1800-2k axes

This quest is way doable at 50 for sure.....Just dont hail the starting guy in lake of ill omen. Instead just say I wish to master the fires and from that the quest starts...you can do the same thing at 46, but when you go to fight the Berserker`s Image for trial 2 you may fail that trial...for she hits hard...even for a lvl 50 zerker good geared....not only that trial 2 you have to do alone. No ifs and or butts about it lol.

haste on epic

Will another item that has a haste bonus you are wearing stack with the haste on this Berserker epic? Curious if the effect Rage of Keras is always effecting the wielder and a Berserker could wear another haste item for some crazy haste or not.

No. This is worn haste....no two worn haste items will stack. The higher percent haste will override the lower. As far as I know, worn haste will only stack with a buff haste (chanter/sham type) and a bard haste....not multiples of any of them.

Of course, there is tons of bickering on the topic of what haste-spells might stack with each other etc, so I really don't know on that part of it. Just here to note that one worn haste item will not stack with another worn haste item.

LOL i would love to be a zerker with this epic but hey i cant really complain althought the SK is a POS and not worth it till omens come out but also if they have 2 epics for all the classes that means zerker gets an upgrade i just hope that zerker epic upgrade isnt as big as ours lol
i mean everyone knows SK epic and Pally epic are the worst so they should get the largest upgrade of all and thats what ime hoping for

Except for the fact that no one knows what drops the "Deathblade of The Zun`Muramm" ... it is gonna be a quest to see whether it is a GM awarded item or dropped. So ... IMHO this Epic makes all other Epics look retarded. And I am not saying that this epic should be nerfed, cause it should't. The Existing epics should be brought up to the speed of this one. As a " Epic " weapon should be just that. Greenmist is better than the SK epic IMHO.

also at this time the better berserker weapon that drops in GoD "Jagged axe of uncontrolled rage" has never even dropped. So berserkers get one berserker only weapon that is better than their epic and even the uber guilds cant even get it yet....hmmmm class balancing and weapon itemization would be nice. might as well nerf this weapon too since we are wanting to screw this class over :) Oh and pallies and SK get weapons far better than this that are far easier to get than their epic.

When will you people stop bitching about upgrading the old epics? They will NEVER and I mean NEVER upgrade the old epics. Infact I beleive they already nerfed two of them, the paly and sk procs on the epics. The sk epic is no longer a lifetap proc. It is a dot for 30 hp a tic. The paly epic dd has been lowered as well. I don't remember what it was before. So there you go. The beastlord epic was awsome when it came out and everyone seems to have forgotten already. I think this will be the last new class to come out though since EQ2 should be comming out soon.

Alright, looks people. Berserkers are a dmg dealer class, like rogues and monks. They need a good (understatement I know) axe to deal the dmg they are intended to. IF this was warrior usable and I had the choice between this and the warrior epic two hander. Know what I would pick? Let's see, 40% haste and 40atk...or...175dd and 500pt of hate. I'd pick the hate proc! Warriors are not there to be the super damage doers of the group. We are there to get agro and get punched in the face. Epics are suited for the class. Rogues get haste and atk, Clerics get rez. The epics really aren't THAT outdated when you really look at them. Look past the dmg/dly and keep in mind the class the epic is for and the reason.

Because, oh so wise twit who actually believes 1 replaces a word, they'll have to do another quest, most likely involving GoD and the upper planes, to get their Epic 2.0, and they've already done the work to get the current epic.

I doubt Sony's going to just "upgrade" to the Epic 2.0. It will be a NASTY quest.

Ohhh, and before you respond with how "easy" epic's are, like some people say, I ask you to think about the SK epic, for example... then think about half those mobs when your max level was 50, and a weapon that barely broke damage/delay was considered godly.

You're an idiot or a newb. Epic quests weren't released with EQ... I'm sure if you thought about it you'd realize they were out atleast when Kunark was (since most epics take place in kunark zones). The level cap was only 50 in classic EQ, and was raised to 60 with Ruins of Kunark expansion. Epics came out during the velious era, meaning there were weapons out there by then that were good ratio easy. Ebon Mace for SKs for example dropped in Guk 2.0 (Seb) with a 19/24 ratio (on a 1hb). Granted, now it is easier with gear upgrades, AAs and L65 cap, but you make it sound so much harder than it was. Back when monk epic was new you could do all of it with 2 groups. Same for rogue, and I'm sure a few other classes.

Epics aren't easy. They aren't impossible, they take time, like all EQ. EQ is a timesink game, not a skill game. The more time you dump in the better your character, despite how dumb you are as a player (as im sure if you've grouped at 65 you have realized).

Eitherway, Zerkers are screwed anyways, so like someone else said, let us have something.

Hey, I know! Lets nerf the Bard epic too while we are at it! Why? Because unlike most melee epics, the Bard epic is still a highly useful weapon until you reach the Elemental planes.

Oh, and what about the Cleric and Druid epics!? We cant have pre-Time casters with 20Wis 1-handers and free clicky effects when melee epics are so gimp, now can we?

Please note the above is mostly sarcasm. But it also shows that not all the epics are outdated. Also, consider the level and difficulty needed to get those epics compared to what is needed to get the Zerker weapon. I've seen several of the zerker hits, and they are anything but easy.

Oh yes.... tougher stuff... how many raid-needing mobs do you really have to wait for though? The scareling?

While on the other hands, warriors need to sit for 72hours at a time, inculding the chance Severilious skips a spawn, for the offchance that he will drop his Green Dragon Scales?

Or Shadowknights getting Soul Leech?

Or either trying to get after the Spiroc Lord? That's not just a tough raid for the "lower levels" that this quest can be done at, but on my server, any raid in PoSky is very rare. It's entirely a guild matter, and if you're not in a guild that can handle it, you're out of luck, because that raid is way too risky for pickup style.

Don't nerf the Berserker Epic. Give the other melees epics that and 2x as good and 2/3 as hard and it'll be even, IMHO.

People just don't get the concept, that what's good for one, is often good for all.

Think of it like this: Would you rather have a 'zerker with this weapon fighting at your side? Or a 'zerker with a kunark era weapon?

I agree that the old epics are outdated, but nerfing, (or complaining about,) this one isn't the answer.

First off I'd like to say.. "Short Sword of the Ykesha" with its amazing 8dmg 24delay and 75dmg with stun proc was the most amazing weapon ever! Back in the day... Its been over 5 years and well that weapon is handy for pets now :)...

Second, zerker axe is awesome... and huge upgrade from my 44/48, I will have a happy heart when I get it :)

Third, why whine about a new class getting a new epic that is well, epic. If it had, OLD stats then why would it be epic?

Fourth, Epic weapons were Epic back when they came out, the new Epic upgrades will be Epic when they come out.. You wont see me whining when you get your new second generation Epic and it has better stats than my little ol axe of ire and its an off hand piercer...

Fifth, be well have fun and don't neglect life :)

/agree, even if these zerker weps are soooo offbalancing, so what! I would love to have a zerker in group with one, but no all these peeps want it nerfed so the group can't kill as fast just so they can feel like they are doing something... sheesh come on.

#SullyOmen, Posted: May 04 2004 at 9:24 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) first of all, tell me where u live Shemfade....oh ill come to u, dont worry. u stupid a-hole. this wep is NOT POP ERA U DUMB SH1T, THIS IS GATES BABY! go back to ur PoP if u dont like it. THIS WEAPON WAS MADE ABOUT 4 YEARS AFTER THE OLD EPICS. DING DONG, DING DONG! don't complain, u lazy piece of sh*t. u have no idea what ur fukin talkin about. 1st of all :) why would it be anything like the old epics, tell me that. DO YOU KNOW HOW OLD THEY ARE? THEY AREN'T WORTH GETTIN ANYMORE. KAoI=WORTH GETTING, because= its brand new. hence, its good. think another 4 years down the line. its gunna be trash-o-matic u punk. second, what, are u a fukin moron or something? RE-EHH. a 40/40 ratio is so freakin bad, like why dont pallys, or sk's, or wars go buy something that has a better ratio? OH NO WAIT, they already do. third) maybe ur just not getting me yet, maybe theres something in that head of yours that keeps you from becoming completely logical. the only reason ur whining and complaining, is cause u dont have a high lvl zerker of ur own. hahaha, must be really hard watching zerkers go by with their epics, huh. oh, maybe if you took a little time out of that thing they call a "life" (that is if you aren't 'smoking cigarettes' or 'drinking beer')you could go reflect, and realize what a complete SUNAVABIATCH you are. next post, write ur real name+number. cmon, we'll fight sometime. it'll be splendid! note: this was all directed towards Shemfade, i have nothing against you others who have nothing against zerkers, i consider you as fine people.
#Shemfade, Posted: May 04 2004 at 12:19 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The point IS NOT that zerkers have better sh*t and yada yada. Get your newbie heads out of your asses and take a look at what we have here. We have a PoP ERA weapon, that was retardidly (yes i know its not fuking a real word) put into the game being called an "epic" quest, when it was very little like the Original, Authentic epics.
cool

hey, I have an idea, how about everybody stops beating up on berserkers for like...what, 5 seconds? they are dps, pure dps. just as basic said, wars take hits, and zerkers dish hits. wars are sucky dps anyway, and what they have now is more than fine for hp+aggro purposes. stop crying about the epic, and posting what you think other epics should be. as I said before on my other post, it is new. meaning=it is good. 2 years from now? it wont compare with anything else, just like the epics of old dont compare with anything now. hi mom.

everyone listen up. is this a good weapon? of course it is. and very worth it, considering ratio/stats/ect. but before u all keep complaning again, remember what the other epics were like back in the day? they were good. just as this one is now. ill admit, i think this wep is way overpowered myself, but in a couple years or so, ur gunna look at this and say, wow, what a crappy wep, because its been outdated. all weps in EQ get outdated once and a while, but for now, its this weps turn to get the fame.

7 years later and it's still not a crappy weapon.

It's pretty OP at level 46 when you can get it and lasts a long time.

This is just more proof that SoE just dosent give a damn as long as they get paid. The new classes keep becoming more and more powerful while the old keep getting the shaft, overlooked and left behind.

Is this Plane of Time loot or something? Warriors have to get to RZ in PoP to get a 2Her that compairs to this(BoW). Figures.
#zatrantiz, Posted: Apr 15 2004 at 4:30 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Why would they change this? im sorry but if u dont like it GO buy the expansion for an extra 30$ or more and make a berserker. I payed a extra 30$ for this expansion, and the class. the epic is damn well worth it IMHO. For those of u that are complaining WHAT do u care if u didnt buy the expansion? your "epic" was the best when it came out. This is the Best "questable" weapon now. If they were to make New epics They would still have to give zerks a new one or there would still Be complaints. and it would have to be better than this one. If u realy dont like this 1 item (out of like 25000) then quit. honestly is 1 item realy that bad? Now quit ur bitching go play and go play ur char. if u realy like the game you will do your epic for the pride of having doing one of the hardest quests in the game and having a unique graphiced weapon. I have a 65 iksar warrior and i did his epic even when i had better. I just wanted the satisfaction of doing it. DO i think stats are good on this one? hell yah! better than most? By far. BUt I realy dont give a @#%^.

Instead of all the trouble it would take to change the existing epics to match the berserker epic's power, and to change all the mobs involved in the current epics to make the challenge equal to the prize, why not just make a second epic for all the classes (possibly requiring the original epic as a quest component)? I really don't see why they can't do this, whether it be using the current expansions or another future expansion. It would make alot of people happy, and would also restore epic quests to their former glory.

Really, all they'd have to do is put in a quest for an augment with enough stats to bring the epics up to date (say Type 9), and have each one be class specific. Then change all the epics to have a slot for Type 9's, and all's well. Still have to get the old epic to use the augment, but then you can update the old weapon with this new quest, and I can be walking around with my flaming sword again.

An Epic to Solo For

I must agree there should be a way for us solo players to aquire their epic based on their personel skills not the fact that you can gather a bunch of people to totally destroy a moob. What is the challange there
I don't want to down play the guilds and their collective worth but gaining notarity from 50 peeps slaying one bad guy no matter how hard it is well just say its harder to get the people together then it is to kill the moob
Isn't this EverQUEST the word quest somehow rings of a single nature, and would it not be the ultimate to have an epic piece that you yourself alone got
I am very glad to see them raising the stats from the old Kunark days, now they need to review all the epics and make them more worthy of the hassle like the prayer shawl maxing out at 8+ on all stats only is a joke by todays standards
Just my 2 cents

Your ideas are good, but you forgot one thing: This is an Massively Multiplayer Online RPG. The name alone should require that the game have more features for multiple people, not just one person. If you want to do an epic quest all by yourself, go play a regular RPG. This is a game where people come together from all around the world to accomplish huge goals. There's just no getting around that, and the game will never change.

That said, solo players can still have an enjoyable experience, and can do quests on their own, sometimes with a very good reward (as in tradeskill quests), but they will never quite equal up to the goals you can accomplish with help from your friends. This is a multiplayer game. 'Nuff said.

Try and Solo the War Epic... or even get a small guild to help you with the War Epic. Drops from Two named Mobs in the Planes? It would be nice, if we had the abilitiy to be in a huge guild where I can log on and throw a raid together, however I am not so selfish that I would ask some who is raiding Fear for the drop if I am not a part of the guild doing the raiding.

I enjoy the aspects of MMORPGs. But I, like many others, can only play sporadically and for a few hours a week. I have tried to join a few guilds, but could never play consistently enough to offer value. It was not fair to the guild. At the same time, I have been playing EQ for years and have multiple 60+ chars. I am nothing if not persistent. I just thought it would be nice if they could figure out some way to reward you for your skill as a player and not how social you are. That way if your gear sucks, it is because you suck, not because you can’t join a guild.

Not fair to the guild?

I disagree. My guild has plenty of people in it who are only on sporadically- some of whom are away for months at a time. We enjoy their company whenever they do get on. You can join a guild and then help them out whenever you are on, then occasionally ask them for help. There is nothing wrong with being a casual player. Besides this game isn't just about getting exp and gear, it's also about socializing and chatting. If you are a good chatter that alone provides plenty of value... hence all the lowbies in my guild. Personally I WISH I had more people in my guild asking for help so that I would actually have something to do. Asking people for help with killing something is not imposing on them IMO, it's making the game more interesting for them.
Warm bodies...

There are certainly many aspects of all the epics that require patience and persistence. (Rare spawns/drops etc.) But when it comes right down to it, most epics can't be obtained without a guild or other large group. I know that some of the epics can almost be soloed by a level 65, but they were not created for level 65’s. It just seems sometimes that getting your epic is just a matter of waiting your turn. I hear too often: ‘I am next on the list to get the {epic drop x) when my guild raids {epic zone y}'. I just wish the epic quest (or some other quest) could be created to reflect your skill and/or persistence as an individual player instead of an indicator of how many warm bodies you could muster for a raid. I am certainly not trying to diminish all the hard work and cooperation that is required to get an epic. I just wish there was something as visible and unique that truly reflected the degree of skill you have with your class and the amount of work that you and you alone were willing to endure.

It would take a MASS of clomplaints with a credible threat of people canceling their accounts to even make them worry enough about their bottom line, to even make them look at the subject. Then all they would do is nerf the Zerker epic....after all thats less work. How many people do you know who actually care enough to even stop billing for a week to protest? Bet its not many.

What the hell? Berserkers get this insane item while im stuck with a Fiery defender. Great. Paladins shouldnt even bother with their epic, because it sucks and if this is the Beserkers epic then they need to update all the epics to balance this.
