*******EDIT******* I should really have changed the thread title to The Zerdic: Leveling Zerker Done Easy, because i did not intend to make people think that the medic is actually superior to the berserker at killing things. It is only better if you are less skilled and have a high medic perk and wish to level berserker easily. Sadly i don't think you can change a thread title once you've posted it. So you'll just have to stick with this disclaimer for now.
I know i am one of the guilty dozens who play this way just to level up berserker. You know why? Medic just plays berserker better than a berserker does.
Medic:
Zerker:
And there you have it. a small list of most things the medic is superior to the zerker. So why does anyone play zerker? there isn't much of a point seeing as the medic can do a better job.
All i really want to do is raise some eyebrows and ask: WHY? why is the medic so good at what berserkers wish they could do? The zerker needs to be buffed in some manner, i won't go into details as this isn't the suggestion board. But we all know this is wrong and the zerker needs to be buffed.
And for those of you who think the chainsaw getting nerfed was the only drawback to zerker, you're wrong. If it was rebuffed, we'd just have zerdics with chainsaws instead of katanas. End of story.

Medic:
- Jesus Armor!
- Jesus Speed!
- Jesus self heals!(and hella more often too!)
- Katana!(Overpowered so can still decap easily in the hands of a medic!)
- Bloat bile reduction!(medics have it too, so they can be zerkers too!)
Zerker:
- 25% damage reduction at most...(piss poor)
- 100% more melee damage at most...(who needs it when you have a katana?)
- 25% faster attacks at most...(this is helpful but not necessary to own things)
- Bloat bile reduction!(see medic)
- Katana discount!(play zerker on the first wave, get a cheap katana, then switch to medic to get insanely cheap armor)
- Can't be grabbed by clots!(medic armor is so good you can just turn around and slash the clots off you anyways)
- ZED time bonus!(who....cares?)
