I am largely aware of this. What I am not sure on is how much ADPS rangers can add to and pull from caster groups.
Where did it ever talk about putting zerkers in a tank group? We are discussing optimal raid groups and a zerker is part of the optimal melee group. And my statement about them not going anywhere because they top parses is 100% true, of course they need ADPS just like monks and rogues and others.. That's not what we are talking about here though.
Had to re-read what I wrote on this slightly necro'd thread. I was referring to zerkers gaining <obligatory large %> of their greatness from ADPS support. A warrior or SK in a zerker's spot in a prime melee setup will parse (nearly) as well, let's say 80% of the zerker's top dps on a burn. Which leads back to my point, it's about the support, obviously a zerker in that spot is the best choice.
