Usage

Damage

  • Use "For Great Justice!" off cooldown
  • This build operates with a basic skill priority, but requires some finesse due to its Adrenaline mechanic.
  • Use Head Butt to start fights. Immediately follow it with Outrage to break the self-stun.
  • Throughout the rotation, use Rage skills to prolong the duration of Berserk. Only use Head Butt if Outrage is available.

The basic greatsword priority is as follows:

  1. Head Butt ⇒ Outrage to open fights, and throughout the fight to maintain Berserk
  2. Arc Divider - use this off cooldown.
  3. Blood Reckoning at 0 adrenaline to instantly refresh Arc Divider
  4. Hundred Blades
  5. Whirlwind Attack
  6. Bladetrail
  7. Fill with auto-attacks.

For axes, the priority is similar:

  1. Head Butt ⇒ Outrage to open fights, and throughout the fight to maintain Berserk
  2. Decapitate off cooldown
  3. Whirling Axe
  4. Cyclone Axe
  5. Dual Strike
  6. Throw Axe
  7. Fill with auto-attacks.
  • On Axe/Axe in particular, the goal is generally to avoid auto-attacking as much as possible.


Defense

  • Whirlwind Attack can be used to evade attacks and reposition.


Crowd Control

  • Head Butt
  • Wild Blow

Warming Hearth gave this build 5 stars • April 2024
Great damage, great boon generation, some mobility, amazing heal skill, low cooldown stun breaks. Power berserker is a really good build for open world. The only disadvantage is the lack of ranged damage, but that's a small downside when everything in melee range of you dies so fast
