Phalanx Warrior vs. Phalanx Berserker (PVE)
im tired so I cant write a long response but berserker all the way
I agree with Azure. Basically it’ll come down to utility. With Berserker you’ll get Headbutt and Wild Blow which are superb for breaking the defiance bars on bosses. You’ll also get access to pulsing stability with Eternal Champion, which helps on the condi instabilities and on the harpy fractal. With Arms you’ll get more crits and more vulnerability stacking, but you won’t have primal bursts. Using Inspire on a banner can fill some of the swiftness gap if you choose zerker+headbutt.
Berserker is more dps. Just make sure you have 100%+ crit chance. Without Signet Mastery you have to get it elsewhere. Assassin’s earrings are a popular choice. Running with a Ranger in your group helps too :p
