Just for curiosities' sake, has anybody done a proper test on the training dummies on how the damage output compares?
- Warrior (2h)
- Berserker (LA/2h)
- Savage (h2h/2h)
- Skald (2h+dmg add)
- Thane (2h+dmg add)

I assumed that savage might be at the top, but I'm mainly interested in the ratios, i. e. does a warrior with a 2h weapon produce 65% or 83% of a savage's damage.

Savage and Berserker are pretty equal, actually.

I have both level 50 Savage and Berserker and tested them both obsessively since I'm also interested in who does more damage.

Before the LA buff from a week ago, I would've leaned Savage, but the Berserker is great now that it made me temporarily shelve my Savage.

The triple and quads are of course great, but they seem a little infrequent. Berserker hits harder per every average swing. Savage tends to match the Berserker's damage with self buffs but even then, it can feel like inconsistent damage.

Berserker is more consistent and controlled.

Savage is much more spikey and can feel weak when you only land single hits.

However, Savage has WAY better styles. Savage also evades WAY more than Berserker.

Savage also takes more damage (due to self buffs), so Berserker is a little easier to farm solo PVE with (at least at 50). But really you should be using a caster class to farm anyway.

It's tough. I love both classes.
