Guild Wars 2

Am I the only one that thinks Berserker is an awesome elite specialization? All I see on warrior forums nowadays is complaining and “RIP Warrior” threads. I still think Warriors are awesome and the Berserker playstyle is fun as all kitten!

No, it is not. At least not in PvP. Try to duel something with berserker. You will see how lackluster it is compared to other elite specs. I thought it was awesome but after some time, I realized.

Key points: Berserk bursts are over 50% weaker than their non berserk counterparts. Not much condition counterplay, rev and dragonhunter fulfills the role better than warrior.

You compare a Level 3 Burstskill with a Level 1 Primal with half the cooldown and only 10 Adrenalin cost.
Someone has says the Primals are Level 3s, with Defense Grandmaster you can theoretical remove alot of Conditions every few seconds.

Traited fully for Burst CD, you can get Primal Bursts down to a 2.5s cd.

You can spam 3-4 Primal Bursts for every 1 level 3 Burst, and they do count as full level 3 bursts for traits.
