a loss of 1.5%, or around 300 total dps at BIS level isn't 'that' bad, and I never said it was a replacement for lanslide. It is only about 14 total dps off berserking, and about 75 total dps away from avalanche at BIS level. I would certainly consider that viable until you had the mats for lanslide, assuming that you had mongoose mats lying around or they were significantly cheaper that either avalanche or zerking.
