Overview

A burst focused glass cannon Berserker build for PvP. Uses signets to set up burst while nuking targets with Rifle and Greatsword bursts, making it quite strong at any range but also extremely squishy.

Utility

Skill Variants

Weapons

• Staff over Greatsword - trades AoE burst damage for much better sustain, while retaining the mobility. Staff can still do good damage, but nowhere near the amount that GS is capable of.

• - much higher HP which makes the build a bit more forgiving, but the loss of precision makes your damage lower (including your critical strikes since you lose some stat conversion from Blood Reaction).

Usage

Elite specialization mechanics

• Berserker grants Warriors acceess to Berserk (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 Gun Flame (Rifle) and Arc Divider (Greatsword) 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).

General

• Your goal is to roam the map and +1 fights, try to avoid 1v1s. You don't fare well in longer fights due to your lack of sustain - Gunzerker is built to end fights as quickly as possible.

• Versatile Rage 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.

• Entering Berserker mode grants you Resistance so you get to ignore Blind and Weakness for a short while.

Damage

• Your primary goal is to land Gun Flame, the main burst skill in Berserker mode.
  • Brutal Shot (rifle) is great for setting this up - you build some distance, evade attacks, and Immobilize the target into your followup.

• Blood Reckoning can be sacrificed for offensive purposes in order to reset the CD on Gun Flame and fill up your adrenaline bar so you can use it right away. Double bursts like these can often secure kills.

• The main purpose of Signet of Fury is to quickly fill up your adrenaline bar on use, granting you access to Berserker mode right at the start of a fight without having to waste time building adrenaline.
• Just make sure that you're in combat already, otherwise the adrenaline will decline rapidly.

• Signet of Might often gets used at the same time as Signet of Fury. The unblockable attacks make it easier to land your burst while the active Might gives you a bigger damage boost than the passive of the signet does.

• Popping signets procs Signet Mastery, which increases your critical strike damage.

• Signet of Rage is another great signet you could throw into your bursts. Not only does it buff your damage further, it also procs Relic of the Sunless at the position of the enemy you're targeting. Sunless scales rather well with power and the damage is AoE, which makes it especially great against balled up targets (for example, stopping a rez attempt).

• Another great AoE is Arc Divider on Greatsword. The only downside is that you'll have to move into melee range. On GS this and Whirlwind Attack are the two main offensive skills.

• On Rifle you have plenty of good options for damage, even aside from your burst skill.

• Explosive Shell is basically a lesser version of Gun Flame except it doesn't require adrenaline.

• Volley can be good, but it's more for ranged poking and adrenaline building rather than bursting. The damage isn't bad, it just takes long to finish unloading. This is basically a filler skill for when you want to do damage from a safe distance but you don't have your main CDs at the ready.

• Rifle Butt is fairly versatile. It's a CC, a gap builder, and an ammo refill. Even if it hits nothing, you can use it from range to stock up on other ammo skills, both for defensive and offensive purposes.

Sustain

• Both weapons provide evade frames: Whirlwind Attack on Greatsword and Brutal Shot (rifle) on Rifle.
  • These are also mobility skills and will get you out of Immobilize.

• On Rifle you can get another charge of Brutal Shot (rifle) quickly with Rifle Butt.

• Greatsword is good for running away in case you're being focused, which is your primary method of defense. You're not great at taking hits, so you need to use hit-and-run tactics.

• Dolyak Signet is your only stunbreak, so use it wisely.
