Huh.??
If you use a shield you are in a constant block animation,since defense is zero.75% of their attacks are being halted by your shield alone & while at that, your zerk swing regardless of its speed is inturrupted,sincezerk is not uninturuptible like conc,it hurts your killing efficiency & speed.
Thats when warcry comes in,it stuns enemies nearby,halting their attacks allowing you free hits.Now if they arent attacking what good is a shield? Get a 2hander..
crash-boom-pulp!.
btw..zerk is just as fast as conc,why call it slow?

well, the maximam speed u can hit is 2.5 per sec for conc and zerk. IMO, that is consider slow to put enenmy into block-lock animation unlike zeal or fury. And without a shield, u will easily die in melee. since ur def drop to zero, any other people just have to try escape ur warcry-stunlock then they will get a free-hit.

I'll come to the big point later,but first:
Didnt I clarify already...
I didnt foresee,thats why I suggested warcry, but are you thinking about melee-pvping with zerk? Suggest you opt for conc.Again block-lock for you is a problem,when you go up against all melee builds like conc & the ones you mentioned like fury/zeal.Yes you can pack up on faster block rates & your magic damage when it does break through can swipe a hefty portion of life,but its really messy,you will loose more often than not,due to their fast attacks,unitturptible in case of conc & your nil defense you are being halted everytime & its hard to get attacks on them.
edit: & not to mention that as soon as melee duelers sense a zerker,they'd throw away their angelics & put on highlordswrath to inflict more punishment on you.

You still dont get me, Did I ever hint at putting enemies in block-lock?..I said you will have a block-lock problem,since your swing is inturrupted when you are blocking,which is quite often for a zerker,since defense is zero & it is not uniturruptible like conc.rikstaker said:

Don't be afraid to try out a zerker build, dude. With the proper gear, and a lot of patience, zerkers will own most pubbies, and occassionally beat the best of the best barbs/pallies.
If this build is for melee, I suggest using botd. As a zerker, you'll need to hit the 125% ias bp as much as you can. Eth DC just doesn't cut it, unless you're using a 160/60 armor.
