The Berserker Class


Skills - Skill chains - Glyphs - Builds

If you love shaking the ground with your blows, standing fast against charging enemies, and seeing your opponents flying away from the force of your strikes, the berserker is definitely the class for you.

The berserker is an offensive juggernaut who shakes the ground with each blow and sends opponents flying with every massive swing, with better-than-average defensive capabilities that include heavy armor and an axe block that absorbs damage according to the quality of the axe.

Berserkers have multiple ways of recharging their own mana, and can absorb damage dealt to a foe as health. Their rage and bloodlust raise their strength to help end a fight quickly. They fend for themselves better than many classes, and their capacity for sheer destruction gives them a place of honor in any party.

[edit] Traits

Weapon: Axe: The berserker wields the most powerful weapon of any class. The sight of a heavily armored fighter swinging a giant axe with seeming abandon instills considerable fear.
Armor: Plate: For a berserker, combat is a way of life. Plate mail? Naaah. Those are just work boots.
Frontal Assault: Combat feeds the berserker. Moving from fight to fight, berserkers actually get stronger the more they trade blows. They're like rabid fimbrilisks with axes.
Siege Breaker: In addition to ripping things limb from limb, berserkers are good at scattering, stunning, knocking down, and turning around their opponents. Hard to hold the line when you're upside down in a tree.

The berserker skill set is long on offense, including mighty overhand blows, whirling circular attacks, and foe-stunning groundshaker strikes. Assorted shouts buff the berserker and demoralize enemies. A devastating four-part combo establishes the berserker's presence on the battlefield, and builds the mana necessary for more advanced moves.

Although most berserker skills are strikes, many are effective against multiple enemies. Their arsenal also includes many useful soloing self-support skills.

Berserker Overview

The berserker is an offensive juggernaut with better-than-average defensive capabilities that include heavy armor and an axe block that absorbs damage according to the quality of the axe. A dash skill helps make up for slowness of movement between battles, but many berserker attacks are charged, and take extra time to deliver their lethal levels of harm. At times like this, an axe-wielder needs a friend. Berserkers have multiple ways of recharging their own MP, and can absorb damage dealt to a foe into their own HP. They have ways of increasing their strength to help end a fight quickly. Their ability to fend for themselves better than many classes, and their capacity for sheer destruction, give them a place of honor in any party.
