Overview
A high damage Berserker build for WvW roaming that's putting the Rifle buffs to good use. This build goes for a more balanced approach instead of the one-shot route, packing enough sustain to win longer fights too.
Skill Bar
Skill Variants
Utility
Viable choices for the optional slot:
-
裂岩怒击 - mostly taken for the adrenaline building aspect, but it also has projectile-reflect, 
稳固 and some ranged damage. -
"为了正义！" - improves your damage and most importantly your 
激怒 uptime. Allows you to focus less on finding Fury sources when it comes to traits and relics, opening those slots up for other things. -
威能纹章 - unblockable attacks and passive damage boost. -
牦牛纹章 - adds another stunbreak to the build, also provides passive damage mitigation and extra healing + 稳固 access.
Heal
鲜血清算 - this is another great skill for adrenaline building and one that can even reset your burst skills. It's an offensive option, and your condi cleansing becomes way worse. While this skill can make you win fights faster, doing so almost becomes a necessity as you won't be able to keep up with your opponents in longer fights, especially if they're playing a condition build.

Variants
剔除弱者 could give you more damage and add a new source of mitigation to the build, but it's worse against ranged builds as you have to sacrifice the other trait which makes 
圣盾 not pop when it's hit by projectiles. You also lose the reflect.
Variants
- Take
混斗复元 if you're having trouble dealing with conditions.
Variants
-
炽热灵魂 can add a consistent source of 激怒, freeing up your 3rd utility as well as your relic slot for something else. -
生死逆转 is a defensive option you could take for extra sustain, especially when learning the build.

Runes
超级学者符文 makes the same tradeoff as Berserker gear.
Relics
-
午夜国王古物 - lowers your burst damage but adds another 激怒 source to the build. This is what you run when you're not playing "为了正义！" or 炽热灵魂. -
风暴咏者古物 - great source of extra damage, the build has plenty of movement skills that proc this consistently.
Consumables
Food options
-
黑胡椒粉真空烹调肉排 - passive damage mitigation and great stats. -
巨龙甜甜圈片 - extra Precision and armor ignoring damage procs that also heal you. It's cheap too.
Utility
Usage
Elite specialization mechanics
-
Berserker Berserker grants Warriors acceess to
狂暴 (F2), a mode during which they gain new burst skills. -
To Enter Berserker mode you must have full adrenaline (30/30). The Berserking burst skills
烈焰枪火 (Rifle) and 
碾颅 (Mace) 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). -
裂岩怒击 and
破甲跃击 are both important adrenaline management tools. They're especially useful for getting back to full adrenaline just before 狂暴 recharges so you don't have to waste time building adrenaline while Berserker mode 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
破甲跃击 restore adrenaline, so try to land on top of enemies. This skill is also a great gap closer / disengage tool if you don't care about the adrenaline. -
通用怒火 restores 5 adrenaline on weapon-swap. This is quite useful when you're just a little short of having enough adrenaline to use burst skills, especially if you're having difficulty building adrenaline. -
盛怒纹章 is mainly taken for its passive, but you could also use this as a setup for one final burst if you feel like you could get the kill with all the extra 
威能. -
You can double tap Mace's
格挡反击 to cancel the block in exchange for instant adrenaline gain. -
Blocking an attack reflects projectiles. This is especially useful when it comes to your
圣盾 sources like 破甲跃击 or 
突击枪刺 because anything you reflect doesn't consume the Aegis! Meaning that Aegis can now block more than 1 attack as long as it's a projectile. Against projectile users you might want to be extra careful with aiming mobility skills so that you always stay at range and avoid getting hit by things that aren't projectiles for as long as possible.
Damage
-
烈焰枪火 is your most important skill.
-
爆炸弹药 is a great followup to Gun Flame, quickly delivering another packet of damage. -
野蛮射击 works as a setup skill for Gun Flame, applying Immobilize Immobilize after the evade frame.- This also counts as a mobility skill and will proc extra damage from 风暴咏者古物 (if taken).
- This also counts as a mobility skill and will proc extra damage from
-
连射 is more of a filler. Great damage, but the cast time drags it down quite a bit. Your CCs are better spent setting up something else. -
On the Mace/Pistol set,
碾颅 carries the damage. 
巨龙怒吼 can also be quite dangerous especially at full charges.- 突击枪刺 can refill ammo for Dragon's Roar, so it's recommended that you deplete your ammo count a bit before using this skill.
Survival
-
Almost every skill on Staff is a healing skill. This weapon is great for recovering your HP or moving out of harm's way using its mobility skills.
-
While Rifle is mostly an offensive weapon, the evade frame on
野蛮射击 is quite a powerful defensive tool. -
Both entering and leaving
狂暴 grant you powerful defensive buffs, making this an important part of your sustain: -
Don't hesitate to cut Berserker mode short with Eternal Champion (F2) if you're taking too much damage.
-
Dodge rolling applies
抗性 which is great against builds with a lot of 
目盲 and 
虚弱 spam, allowing you to land important skills without having to worry about the attack missing or glancing. -
净化之怒 provides a steady stream of cleansing in combat. -
Always factor in what other cleansing CDs are available before you'd heal with
伤势愈合 as this is your best mass cleanse. If the answer is none and you heal with no conditions on you in a condition matchup, you might get killed a few seconds later due to the lack of cleansing. Sometimes it's worth holding onto for a few extra seconds just to be safe.
