Overview
A condition DPS Berserker raid build focussed mainly on 
Burning and 
Bleeding. The rotation is fast-paced and rewards constantly attacking, weapon swapping and triggering of burst skills. Despite this and the Berserker's theming, the damage is among the slowest-ramping in the game, heavily favouring long phases.
The default build packs a good amount of CC and mobility, and its combination of high health, heavy armour and make it very survivable. In addition, is a great cleave skill that can hit distant targets without losing DPS on the boss.
Its damage is heavily dependent on remaining inside by frequently using Rage skills. As such, it is very reliant on having good 
Alacrity uptime.

Breakbar
