Ratings

A great build that takes advantage of the berserker specialization as good as it can. The high damage this build gives is addicting

This build has massive aoe damage, allowing it to annihilate elite and lesser foes with ease. It struggles, however, with tougher enemies like champions and certain high-damage aoe attacks due to its relatively low sustain. Comparing it to strength fighter, it has far greater damage, slightly less combat mobility, and much less self-sustain, making it better for lower-intensity play. Overall, extremely powerful, violent build that suits the berserker specialization perfectly, but struggles with harder content. 4/5

This Build is useful because the warrior has a natural resistance, and added damage from the Berserker specialization is perfect, as it has great area damage, ideal for all types of tasks in the open world, it deserves 5.

An extremely powerful farming build. It lacks the sustain potential of its spellbreaker variant, but has much higher area damage.
