ahahah^^ i know that,but i noticed that sometimes u kill 5mobs and get a zerk ball,sometimes u kill 20 and nothing,so there must be some variable that make u get em or not,some guys said me that u get them before if u receive dmg from mobs,some say the opposite,so im like O_O

It's completely random I guess, go warlock if you want to zerk every 2-3 minute.

No, they are not random. Nothing with computers is random. Yes, you can create random numbers with programs, but they're mostly just created by some algorithm combined with the current time in milliseconds, which makes it kinda random.
But anyway.
The probability of getting a zerk ball from a mob depends on how many hits it takes you to kill a mob, at least that's what I think and I haven't had a reason to think it's wrong.
Locks zerk every minute because they use dots (and they only zerk so often if they use 2 dots on every mob and then go to the next one) and they do just a little damage to the mob and kill it slowly. Additionally, I think there's a bug with the dots, so that the game thinks they keep hitting even if the mob is dead (if you go zerk and kill a mob with dots you hear the zerk hitting sound of the dots even when the mob is dead).
--> more hits, higher probability of zerk balls.

uhm, warlock has a skill which increase the chance of getting zerk by 250% or so

Picture or lie.
IMO that's pure bs because warlocks get fast zerk at lv 12 already and there you don't exactly have thousands of skills. I highly doubt that there's a passive that causes it.

I concur.

Amhro is right lol, theres a passive skill which increases the chance of getting a zerk point

Edit: yes theres a passive

The skill strap gives 200% chance of getting zerk orbs when using dots.

its warlock's skills that deal dmg in a period of time, lets say i put on that spell on a mob and run to another one, while the previous one dies, thats why warlocks lvling is kinda fast.

When i grind near a warlock that's using dots, then the dots have the same sound i have when i hit. So when i am a bow and zerk, the dots have the same sound i have when zerking.
That's kinda weird.

Thanks for clearing that up....
But to support my theory too, when I grind at lv 12 dow genema and lv 11 dow genetos with my 12 warlock, I get Zerk pretty fast, too...
I had a lv 32 warlock once, but I never paid attention to what the passives actually meant, I just skilled them

Thanks again :oops:
