Glossary 3. FAQ 4. Changelog V1.0.0 1. Guide 1.1 Introduction This guide is about the Berserker in PvE and PvP. 1.1.1 PvE Berserker is the second best DD class in the game. With a good mix of DPS and burst they are receiver Alchemist buffs but are not useless without (looking at you Kinetic).. 1.1.2 PvP Berserkers are one of the strongest classes in PvP. They have the strongest defensive CD in the game, high mobility, cc immunities and massive single target CC. If a Berserker is paired with a Lightbinder he turns in to the god of war. He will be nearly unkillable and has godlike peel for your supporter (stuns, burst, free walk). If played solo, the Berserker acts as an assassin. You go in, kill 1-3 and then you jump and run away. Repeat until battle is won. 1.1.3 Unlocking If you just started unlocking the berserker and you want to play it, unlock these nodes first. These nodes are the required ones to keep up with damage or survivability. 1.2 Stats Luck > Strength > Crushing Blow > Crit > Accuracy >>>>>>> Discharge Recovery 1.2.1 Chapels ●2x Crushing Blow (3, 7) ●2x Accuracy (2, 5) ●2x Crit (1, 6) ●1x Discharge Recovery (4) ●1x Solidity (8) 1.3 Symbols Atlas: ●Mark of Death ●Maximum Recoil ●Ultimate Strength ●Lacerated Wound ●Double Discharge ●Impulse Intensity (low priority) ●Tactical Defense (low priority) ●Bonus Dash (low priority) ●Adrenalin Surge (low priority) Class: ●Bloodiness (Berserker) ●Gravitational Perturbation (Kinetic) ●Divine Intervention (Paladin) ●Strength Serum (Alchemist) ●Cold Calculation (Archer) ●Jinx (Witch/Warlock) (low priority) ●Shroud of Light (Lightbinder) (low priority) 1.3.1 PvE Atlas: ●Warrior’s Creed ●Element of Suprise ●Life Energy (low priority) Class: ●Under Cover of Darkness (Slayer) 1.3.2 PvP Atlas: ●Impact ●Paralyzing Shock ●Ruthlessness ●Slowing Attacks ●Impulse Barrier ●Defense Reflex ●Breakout (low priority) Class: ●Stolen Initative (Monk) ●Invincible Will (Knight) 1.4 Equip 1.4.1 PvE 1.4.2 PvP @TODO: Need Screenshot of Wild Leap amulet 1.5 Abilities This is the best defensive ability in the game. Instead of getting less damage, you get healed 70% of your received damage after 1 second. With the correct OH this skill has an uptime of 33%. With this huge uptime on a 70% ability, you are guaranteed to live longer than most of your allies. The trade of is that it isn’t easy to use. You need to know you are getting damage before you receive it. This is your best AoE ability, it even does huge damage single target. This is your next AoE ability. It is a rather useless one, since it has low damage and a high CD. Use it when you have no rage for Whirlwind. This is your offensive CD, use it before you try to burst your enemies and time it with your other buffs. Without the Berserker symbol this has an uptime of 40%, with the Berserker symbol it has 46% uptime! This is huge. This is your mobility spell, you can jump around as you like or focus an ally or enemy. Once every 20 seconds you can free yourself from a CC (even hard CC) and get a free jump. 1.6 Talents With this talent your Battle Frenzy will also generate rage for every hit you take while it’s up. If you know what you are doing you can now use Battle Frenzy offensively. Your offensive CD now adds additional 25% crit chance? Perfect. Note that this does not count for the cap, this means you can reach up to 75% crit with this. This makes you nearly unkiteable, if you leap to an enemy or ally (tooltip is wrong on this one) that is more than 6 yards away the cd gets reduced by 50%. Note: The 50% does not include the free yourself of CC part. Well this makes that your rage generating skills and burst combo are stronger and faster. Makes your defensive CD cost free. This increases the damage of your signature ability and adds the ability to increase your damage when you take a risk. 1.6.1 PvE This makes your damage debuff a little bit stronger, also very strong in AoE situations. Increases the duration of your Firestorm by 100%. Only taken when you play with the witch curse or the boss has a shield that must be destroyed. Only taken when you need to move. It has only a 10 yards range though which means it is hard to pull off. 1.6.2 PvP Increases your damage debuff by additional 21% against players. Why? Fuck Lightbinder Paladin, thats why. 1.7 Advanced tricks 1.7.1 Cancel Execute After the use of your execute, dash to cancel the animation 1.7.2 PvE 1.7.2.1 Burst vs Boss condition: > 270 Rage Destructive Wave -> Thirst for Battle -> 2x (3x LMB -> 1x RMB) -> Crippling Blow 1.7.2.2 Burst vs Adds Destructive Wave -> Thirst for Battle -> Gladiator (Ultimate) -> LMB/RMB as long as in Gladiator stance 1.7.2.3 AoE condition: > 3 enemies Destructive Wave -> Thirst for Battle -> Firstorm/Whirlwind (repeat if possible) -> Tectonic Blast 1.7.2.4 Generating rage Since we skill Battle Fury our Battle Frenzy restores rage when we are hit while it’s up. This means we can trade health for rage. This means that we can stay in shit that hits us multiple times but does not too much damage to generate rage. Only do this if you know what you are doing. 1.7.2.5 Wounded Beast This talent increases the damage of Crippling Blow if you are below 45% health. Remember what Battle Frenzy does? It heals for 70% of the damage taken, 1 second after receiving damage. So this adds an interesting interaction. If the boss you are fighting against has an ability that will drop you below 45% of your health, you can soak that up with Battle Frenzy and get a free damage boost. Once again: Only do this if you know what you are doing. Also first let you drop below 45% before you use your healing potion, this will further increase your damage. Note: you can hold on to the buff for a while since it has an unlimited duration. 1.7.3 PvP 1.7.3.1 Burst condition: > 270 Rage Crippling Blow -> 1x LMB ->1x RMB -> 2x (3x LMB -> 1x RMB) -> Crippling Blow @TODO: Add video 1.7.3.2 Leap @TODO 1.7.3.3 Healing @TODO 1.7.3.4 Gladiator Gladiator in PvP is mostly used as a constant gapcloser and to cut your enemies in to million pieces. Does the Witch have all of its dashes ready? Is your leap on cooldown? Has the Archer blown his stun to get away? Then let’s go! Use your Battle Frenzy and your Thrist for Battle right before Gladiator, since you will not be able to pop it while in gladiator stance. And now comes the hard part, press as much LMB as possible! 1.7.3.5 The Art of Running Away Playing a Berserker does not mean taking every fight possible. You need to be able to decide when to run away like a coward. If you have mastered your leap you have mastered 10% of running away. The next 20% are knowing that your Battle Frenzy speeds you up and when you can fight someone. This is something I’m unfortunately not able to teach, since you must learn your limits yourself or you are doomed to decide correctly. 1.7.3.6 Pulling in/out @TODO: 2.

FAQ Q: When crit is more important than accuracy why choose accuracy chapels? A: You should reach your 50% crit chance cap without all the crit chapels, since accuracy has a soft cap (40% with 6 times ultimate strength) you can leave open some accuracy chapels Q: Why not the Whirlwind OH for PvE? A: You use Battle Frenzy more often than Whirlwind in PvE. Q: Why use Tectonic Blast instead of Flash of Rage A: The only real use Tectonic Blast has is in Operation Isabella in one of the big trash groups, most of the time Whirlwind is strong enough. When did you last have the time to cast 4 seconds for a spell with a massive rage cost? Q: EU or NA? A: EU Q: What’s your ingame name?
