-Even without Berserk, the Zerker (Arguably) has the best basic combo. It's as fast as a Knight's combo, and out ranges almost every other melee hero. It also has vertical reach (unlike the Tao) so aerial attacks are almost useless. With Berserk on, it becomes ridiculous.
-The Berserker's dash attack is fast, has good reach, and is good for edging. IIRC it comes out even faster than the Knight's DA.
-Zerker's charge attack can GB and it looks similar to the third combo hit, making it more difficult to avoid (as opposed to the Viking).
-Earth(ban me for language use) ter (+ jump attack) ensures that anyone on the ground near an edge gets edged.
-Warhorn is ridiculous. It has amazing range and duration. Very few skills can counter it, and the invincibility frames can be chained into another skill. It lasts so long that the Zerker can use WH, walk all the way around the victim and SS him.
-Savage Slam and Warhorn have edged more people than any other skill/skill combo.
Therefore, I think that the Zerker should be nerfed in one or more of the following ways:
1. Reduce the attack speed. At the current speed it looks like the sword is made of cardboard.
2. Reduce the stun time of WH
3. Reduce the range of WH
4. Reduce the invincibility frames of WH
5. Change ES so it does not hit people on the ground. Or at least so it doesn't launch them into the air.
6. Reduce the Zerker's run speed.
7. Remove the jump cancel of SS
