So I recently took a liking to rolling full zerker in pve after realizing its actually quite rewarding and enjoyable. Rockin the stock max DPS build of 30 0 0 10 30 and a GS axe/mace I was wondering what the proper rotation of skills would be in order to max out the amount of DPS I can get out of it. If you can please give me different situations to use different rotations but obviously the most important one im looking for is when they cannot be put against a wall and I want to get my max DPS still.
ATM I generally open with the GS using 100b, after that finishes I use 1 and 2 of my auto attack and instantly rush, then WW and cancel once I stop hitting them. after swapping to axe mace I use #2 and #4 to stack some vuln then let out 2 auto attack chains followed by the off cooldown axe #2. by this time my 100B is back off cooldown and I proceed to using it again. after that I use the 1 and 2 of my auto attack and WW. swapping back to my axe mace like before and proceed to stack as much vuln as I can before doing another 2 auto chains. (ect until enemy is dead)

Are there any things I should be doing differently in this rotation to max my DPS? even the smallest change will be greatly appreciated if pointed out.

If enemy is against wall you use HB + full WW.

If enemy isnt you use HB then 1 auto attack of the #1 chain then WW and weapon swap as soon as its up, doing this properly will land the full WW on the enemy and leave you right next to the enemy to start using axe.

With axe you always open with #2 then hit #4/5 if its up otherwise auto attack. Try not tk interupt your axe chain with #4/5 if you want to maximise dps. Once your #2 is up use it even if you interupt your auto attack. Then you swap to GS and repeat.

Basically using axe #2 at the start and then when its up is a perfect timer to keep track of HB since you lack forceful GS trait.

If there is movement stay with axe then when its safe swap to GS for a HB.

Don’t forget to eviscerate

Pretty sure it was concluded that when using Berserker’s Power and Heightened Focus, Eviscerate actually lowers your overall damage.

Can I ask why no rush? I mean it does hit very hard and never bugs out if cast in melee range, does it just lower your dps proven, or just preference?

I’ve had situations where it took ages for me to do the upswing. It’s not worth the time it takes to connect. You’d be better off using axe auto-attack and joining me in only using rush to travel (but even then it can bug out ’cause you touched a pebble).

Anyway, Puandro’s detailing of the skill rotation does maximise your damage. When not next to a wall you must do one swing of your GS autoattack after hundred blades and before WW. If you open with GS it does delay you going into WW but it is vital to get this into muscle memory as after switching from axe/mace to GS you want this slight delay as if you don’t do it your weaponswap comes off cooldown too late to swap part way through WW thus meaning you travel the full distance and have to run back. If timed well when you get to axe you’re at most one footstep away from hitting with axe#2.

Bugs out on big enemies, not worth it.

so even with the rush fix (I use that term lightly) do you still suggest using the 1 auto attack over the rush when its up to get the tiny delay in?

axe/mace is our highest damage single target with axe/axe aoe.

basically you use axe 2 and mace 4 on cooldown for maximum vulnerability, use eviscerate on cooldown if you have 3 stacks of adrenaline if you should, and rest is auto attack.

for rifle use 3, 4 and f1(kill shot) on cooldown
