Description
Berserkers are melee fighting machines focused on dealing damage.
Stengths/Weaknesses
Pros
- Amazing DPS potential
- Low positioning concerns, you'll still do most DPS behind a mob but still do the majority even from the front
- Snare/Stun abilities
- Chain armour and knight table HP makes for a reasonable tank in a pinch
- Summoned axes are good ranged DPS, you'll never out range DPS a Ranger but you'll still contribute a healthy amount of damage
- Group-wide Warcry that gives overhaste similar to Monks hundred hands effect
Cons
- Low utility, you exist to DPS, nothing else
- Extremely gear dependant
- Not the most exciting class to play
- Your journey to 60 (or at least 55) will be that of a subpar warrior or rogue that hasn't learned to use the backstab button, you must persevere, all the goodness is at max level!
- Managing aggro with a poor jolt ability is hard, it's either turn off auto-attack and sacrifice DPS or die
Combat Skills
Zerker skills such as stun, snare or jolt require a reagent. These are the axes that can be summoned (and used for ranged DPS). The axe required for abilities is appropriate to the level range of the ability.
You can buy axe components from any hometown where Berserkers can be created.
Buy Axe Components > Summon Axes > Use snare/stun/jolt > Profit!

Rotation
Reality check, this is not the most dynamic class to play. Here's the 3 step guide:
- Level 1 - 5: Auto-attack and press Kick on cooldown
- Level 6 - 54: Auto-attack and press Frenzy on cooldown (never use Kick again)
- Level 55 - 60: Auto-attack and alternate Frenzy and Rage Volley on cooldown
Rage Volley is a huge chunk of DPS. This is a global tome drop but can also be bought from Jayson in the hub. Get this the very second you turn 55!
Ancient Rage Volley is an upgrade to Rage Volley that drops from T6+ raid targets.
