A Recent Power Zerker Build :>
Here’s what I use:
Full Zerkers (Edit in some Valkyrie if you want defence, but that’s what deathshroud is for)
D/W and X/X (Really up to you, but I prefer Staff or Dagger/Dagger for condition migation)
10/30/0/0/30: Reaper’s Might. Reaper’s Precision, Spectral Attunement, Banshee’s Wail. Unyielding Blast, Spectral Mastery, Deathly Preception.
Utilities are: Spectral Grasp, Spectral Armour, Spectral Walk and Lich Form.
How to play: Use spectral skills to keep up your LF and use Life Blast to smash face in. I wish it were more complicated than that but it really isn’t. You have two stun breakers, and both can be used to mitigate damage. Use Locust Swarm or Spectral Armour or Walk before going into deathshroud to gain life force instead of losing it. Lich form does ridiculous damage in this build.
Seriously though, Life Blast hits like a truck and pierces. It also gives you might and gives your opponent Vulnerability.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Could A/W work instead of D/W? Or is the dagger “1” that essential? For the build above.

Yes it can, and does work quite well. I have a build/guide on Guru taking advantage of the power boost from Axe while in DS, while maintaining the crazy-high uptime on DS that the above build has.

I have been using this build for a while, it works well and is enjoyable. I build up life force with axe 2 focus 4, use my 2 utilities then go into DS for autoattack. Switch over to dagger for spam then build up life force again with axe+focus. Rinse repeat.
