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 and hopefully viable approach, adding plenty of extra sustain.

Utility

Viable choices for the optional slot:

Heal

  • 鲜血清算 图标鲜血清算 - 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.

Specializations

Variants

  • 剔除弱者 图标剔除弱者 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 图标圣盾 not pop when it's hit by projectiles. You also lose the reflect.

Usage

Elite specialization mechanics

  • Berserker Berserker grants Warriors acceess to 狂暴 图标狂暴 (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 图标烈焰枪火 (Rifle) and 壁垒分离 图标壁垒分离 (Staff) 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 图标裂岩怒击 and 破甲跃击 图标破甲跃击 are both important adrenaline management tools. They're especially useful for getting back to full adrenaline just before 狂暴 图标狂暴 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 图标破甲跃击 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 图标通用怒火 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 图标盛怒纹章 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 图标威能.

Damage

  • 烈焰枪火 图标烈焰枪火 is your most important skill.

  • 爆炸弹药 图标爆炸弹药 is a great followup to Gun Flame, quickly delivering another packet of damage.

  • 野蛮射击 图标野蛮射击 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 图标风暴咏者古物.
  • 连射 图标连射 is more of a filler. Great damage, but your CCs are better spent setting up something else.

  • Try to use 英勇飞跃 图标英勇飞跃 before swapping to Rifle in order to gain 激怒 图标激怒.

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 图标野蛮射击 is quite a powerful defensive tool.

  • Both entering and leaving 狂暴 图标狂暴 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 图标抗性 which is great against builds with a lot of 目盲 图标目盲 and 虚弱 图标虚弱 spam, allowing you to land important skills without having to worry about the attack missing or glancing.

  • Blocking an attack reflects projectiles. This is especially useful when it comes to your 圣盾 图标圣盾 sources like 破甲跃击 图标破甲跃击 or 链接破碎者 图标链接破碎者 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 these mobility skills so that you always stay at range and avoid getting hit by things that aren't projectiles as long as possible.

  • 净化之怒 图标净化之怒 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 图标伤势愈合 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.
