Berserker - Condi Macezerker

• Twitch: Keyba

Skill Variants

Weapons

• Off-hand Sword over Shield - trades CC, a leap finisher and a better block for more damage and more frequent access to a blocking skill.

Utility

• 平衡姿态 over 裂岩怒击 - a better defensive skill which could help against both CC and Power damage, but makes it harder for you to build adrenaline and deal with projectiles.

Variants

• 盾牌大师 improves adrenaline generation and makes your blocks reflect projectiles, which opens up new and creative ways to pressure enemies. You do lose some 虚弱 application however which removes a cover condition from the build and decreases your sustain a little.

Equipment Changes

Rune

• - makes your Sword/Torch and burst a bit weaker but adds more defense against conditions without giving up offensive stats.

• - this fills the same purpose as Orr but against Power damage.

Sigils

• over - adds extra cleansing to the build.

Relics

• - makes your Mace burst damage a bit worse in exchange for better uptime and higher healing reduction from it.

Elite specialization mechanics

• Berserker grants Warriors acceess to , a mode during which they gain new burst skills.

• To Enter Berserker mode you must have full adrenaline (30/30). The Berserking burst skill (Mace) and (Sword) become available during this time frame, these cost 10 adrenaline (which amounts to 1 regular adrenaline bar, 1/3 of the cost of what it took to enter Berserker mode).

• Rage skills like and are important adrenaline management tools. They're especially useful for getting back to full adrenaline just before recharges so you don't have to waste time building adrenaline while Berserker is available. Even in Berserker mode they are useful, allowing you to quickly fill up the adrenaline bar for back-to-back burst combos.

General

• Both the initial cast and the landing strike of restores adrenaline, so try to land on top of enemies. The skill also applies useful cover conditions for burst combos and could act as a gapcloser.

• restores 5 adrenaline on weapon-swap. This is great at instantly getting that last bit of adrenaline you'd need for burst skills especially if you're having difficulty building adrenaline (like getting outranged or spammed).

• Aside from most of your cleansing is tied to bigger CDs like and . Proper CD management is necessary when it comes to surviving condition pressure. Bridge the gaps in your sustain with proper use of blocks, stuns, and leaps.

• Much of the pressure comes from spamming and detonating s using Berserker skills made possible by . Any skill related to the elite specialization could detonate Fire Auras: Rage, Torch, or Berserker-mode skills.

  • Sometimes can proc the from King of Fires on one of its early strikes, and then detonate said aura when the skill ends. This is because crits can give you Fire Aura, and Torch skills count as Berserker skills that detonate these auras, but the trait will only check if a Berserker skill had been used once the skill has successfully finished its entire animation.
