Mesmer illusionary zerker Bug Report

Since the last one was locked stating it wasn’t a bug report, I will start a new one as a bug report

Illusionary zerker has two undocumented changes/issues.

1. The finisher to iberserker is no longer activating or showing up in the tooltip. This was not documented in the patch notes.
2. The damage output on iberserker is lower. Illusion is either missing on its last attack or overall damage has been reduced by 20-40%.

Issue has been noted by multiple mesmers in the forums as well as mesmers in my own guild.
Users have noted the below and I quote.

using the same gear pre patch zerker did 3900-4400 in that range. after patch 2700-3000. all i did was put 3 zerkers on a training dummy and watch the numbers.

Before patch i would put 3 zerkers on the lions arch training dummies and they would each do 4400 damage, after patch they do 3000. they are doing the same amount of hits just less damage.

Usually hitting for 4k+. Now can barely hit 2k.

Can we have someone look into this or give us an explanation please. This would be two undocumented nerfs to the same ability. And also us mesmers cringe with every patch because for the last 4 releases you have broken iberserker every time.

As I mentioned in this thread, we are aware of and tracking this issue. We did not make any intentional changes to this skill and are investigating what could have caused this.

Hey all,

Unfortunately, we haven’t found out why the Berserker isn’t consistently hitting and are still investigating what could have caused this skill to break. This is still a high-priority for us, and we appreciate your understanding as we continue to work on this issue.

While we still be continuing to work on this bug, this thread has been continually bumped and spammed — which prevents us from seeing other pertinent issues and is against the CoC — and will now be closed.
