Guild Wars 2

TL;DR: Move the “Go Berserk” effect to f1, move the default attack to f2.

I don’t play a ton of Berserker yet, but I’ve just been maxing mine out, and it got annoying that every time my bar filled up I’d have to hit f2 to activate my Berserk form, and then f1 repeatedly to use my attacks, and then it would revert. Is there any reason why a Berserker would really want to use the default Warrior attacks?

I just think it would be simpler if when you equipped the elite spec, it swapped the two, so you’d hit f1 to go Berserk, then f1 again to make your zerk attacks, it would be the “zerk” button all the time, and then f2 would be for people would for whatever reason still want to use the default attack, but “full zerk-out” players would never have to touch it.

Any reason why not that I’m missing?

Makes more sense to me the way it is, tbh. And yes, sometimes you might rather use the normal burst, like skull crack for the long stun, or a 1-st tier Arcing Slice when you don’t have max adren but can put someone down.

There’s a lot of ways they can approach it, and yes, sometimes you might use your standard burst.

That said, I wouldnt mind if berserk just replaced the F1’s. If you wanted to go real crazy, remove the three bars (30 to berserk) and just have the one (10 to berserk). Realistically I’m replenishing and holding on to my adrenaline for when I’m ready to go berserk anyway, so might aswell streamline the entire process.

I might use a regular, 1 or 2 bar killshot before berserk is off CD, however because that can put the corresponding berserk weapon burst on a short cd, it’s to likely to get in the way. So I just skip it. I gotta practice more firing off an initial standard killshot XD

But why reduce options just to save a keybind? Makes no sense to me….

They could make it like this:

F1: old burst skill
F2: berserker mode / Press it again for Berserker burst skill.

So you dont have to press 2 different buttons but rather 1 button 2 times..

Quite right. That solution would probably make everyone happy. Simpler fix too.

I’m not suggesting they reduce any options, you’d still be able to do everything that you can do today. The suggestion is only that they flip the f1 and f2 keys when out of Zerk mode, so that if you are a Berserker, f1 will ALWAYS be the “do your Zerk thing” button, in and out of Zerk mode, while f2 will be the “do the old thing” button.

They could make it like this:

F1: old burst skill
F2: berserker mode / Press it again for Berserker burst skill.

I would be fine with that too, but f1 would be more convenient.

I don’t really have a problem with how it is now…Burst skill is always F1 and going berserk is F2. Looks fine to me.
