Hi everyone, I have been looking on the forums for decent pve Berserker builds and thought I’d open mine up to feedback/criticism.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNAsfTnckC9kitkC+dAcigFoA7IBGASZK4t1Wb3tA-T1TAABKcACAV9gY2fI6HBgzKhC4MAItWEAOACDcABGUXAqq4wnGiJVCOmyHCOQABAQASmBfjM7m38m38m3sUALKNC-w

Basically, the goal is to increase Adrenaline building to gain access to Berserk Mode as frequently as possible while increasing burning uptime through condition duration.

Please let me know your thoughts!

I would say your build lacks a couple of things :
- Precision : By using Rampager, Enraged or Sinister gear you could have a lot more adrenaline and condition damage from Furious while at the same time trigger your AoE burning with King of Fires, Vulnerability with Rending Strikes. and Bleed From Precise Strikes a lot more often.
- No Stunbreaker : If you are going to play in the Maguma Jungle, you’re better take one otherwise ennemies will chain stun you to death.
- I would also slot another healing skill, blood reckoning is realy nice when you can deal a lot of burst damage in a short period of time (Greatsword, Axe, Rifle). Warrior condition builds usualy have to build up their condition pressure over time making that power less than optimal in most combat situations.

Finally, you didn’t select your traits in the Discipline traitline, so I can’t totaly evaluate your build.

oops, I put an earlier link in incorrectly xP I am curious about the precision though because there hasn’t been much discussion on the forums (sadly) about berserker builds, is Furious a trait that I’m missing?

As this is mostly for raiding, the group in my guild has several heralds that do stunbreaking for the entire party so I’m less worried about that though it is a very valid point.

for this build I was struggling to pick a good trait line (the one that was supposed to be discipline). What would you recommend for traits?

Furious increases your condition damage by 10 each time you deal a critical hit (up to 250). It works like might, so each stack got it’s own remaining duration. Getting more critical chance increase the rate at which you build that extra adrenaline and that extra condition damage. That’s why this trait works best with Rampager, Sinister or Enraged gear.

Now you could paliate that issue by taking Signet Mastery or even Blade Master.

If you are realy going to focus on the sword/torch combo
Berserker : Smash Brawler – Heat the Soul – King of Fires
Discipline : Warrior’s Srpint – Brawler Recovery – Heightened Focus
Arms : (depends on setup) – Blademaster (or Deep Strike if high fury uptime) – Furious

Get some Sinister Gear (Rampager or Enraged are working fine too), some Balthazar Runes and condition duration food and you should have a very good DpS. Sustain on the other hand is another issue!

Thanks so much man, no one in the forums has been posting anything but PvP or WvW builds (or complaining about the changes) but it’s nice to have some feedback and advice, I do appreciate it
