Condition Berserker is a fast paced build for open world that also provides boons. You'll spend most of the time in Berserk mode, dealing increased damage and killing enemies by spamming the Primal Burst skills Scorched Earth and Flaming Flurry, inflicting lots of Burning, so you have good burst damage for a condition build. You will also provide some Quickness to yourself and nearby allies, though not 100% uptime in dps gear. Berserker is also very relentless, having 2 stunbreak skills that also help with damage, and a heal skill that makes you nigh-immortal for a few seconds.

It is the only condition build avaliable to warrior. As downsides, the build is not easy to play, requires very frequent weapon swapping supported by Fast Hands, and requires use of combo fields to reach its true potential due to King of Fires (See: Guide:What are Combo Fields).

Skill variants

Heal skill

Blood Reckoning is key to the build, letting you reset your Primal Burst and giving you adrenaline. You should almost never replace it.

• Mending - defensive option, low cooldow, removes conditions, high healing.

Utilities

Outrage is extremely useful, as it is not only a stunbreak but also extends the duration of your Berserk mode. Never replace it.
Shattering Blow is a good damage skill but can be replaced if needed.
"For Great Justice!" provides you and nearby allies with boons. Very useful, but can be replaced if needed.

• Sundering Leap provides damage when used in a fire combo field due to King of Fires, extends the duration of your Berserk mode and gives Aegis.
• "Shake It Off!" - if condition removal is needed, though you already have Brawler's Recovery.

Elite Skills

Head Butt is absolutely key to the build and should almost never be replaced. It deals good damage, breaks stun, deals good crowd control, extends the duration of Berserk mode, and fully refills your Adrenaline.

• Battle Standard - in vey rare situations, you can take this banner to revive allies.

Specializations

Variants

• Blood Reaction - when playing in groups and someone else is providing permanent Quickness.

Usage

Berserk

Berserk is the profession mechanic of the berserker. After filling your Adrenaline bar, for example by using Head Butt, activate the skill to enter Berserk mode, increasing your damage thanks to Fatal Frenzy. Your maximum Adrenaline is reduced, so it's easier to gain full Adrenaline to use the improved Primal Burst skills Scorched Earth and Flaming Flurry which are your sourcess of Quickness.

For these reasons, maintaining Berserk mode is key to playing berserker correctly. Blood Reckoning, Outrage and Head Butt extend the duration of your current Berserk mode. Using a Rage skill also extends the Berserk duration due to Last Blaze. Compared to power berserker, you need to be more flawless with your gameplay to maintain Berserk for long durations.

Damage

Start fights by instantly filling your Adrenaline bar with Head Butt, activate Berserk, and scorch your enemies.

Sword/Torch Priority

1. Flaming Flurry
2. Flames of War
3. Blaze Breaker
4. Savage Leap
5. Final Thrust
6. Fill with auto-attacks

Longbow Priority

1. Scorched Earth
2. Fan of Fire
3. Pin Down
4. Arcing Arrow
5. Fill with auto-attacks

In short, spam your Primal Bursts. Use Blood Reckoning to cast Scorched Earth twice back to back, then swap back to sword when you can since longbow lacks sustained damage.

• Use Head Butt + Outrage when your weapon skills are on cooldown to help maintain Berserk, but try to use Outrage strategically if facing enemies with stuns.
• Use "For Great Justice!" before starting fights, and periodically throughout them.
• Use Shattering Blow off cooldown.
• Try to stay in Berserk mode as long as possible.
• When you have a Fire Aura, try to detonate it by using a berserker skill to trigger King of Fires. "Berserker skills" refers to primal burst, rage, and torch skills. Remember that leap finishers such as Savage Leap provide fire aura when used on fire fields (See: Guide:What are Combo Fields).

Defense

• Shattering Blow blocks attacks and reflects projectiles.
• Smoldering Arrow can be used to blind enemies.
• Remember to always dodge and sidestep attacks if possible. Don't get hit by anything you can move out of.

Crowd Control

• Head Butt
• Pin Down
