Just pure, balls to the wall offense. Made for tPVP-sPVP, huge burst potential, either they die, or you die. Gotta be aware to play this build and position yourself so you don’t take unnecessary damage, or you will melt faster than butter in the hot Texas sun. From my playtime with the build, this plays really well off of others. Hang back, pop stab/zerk stance, run in, stun someones target, burst them down, stomp, get out, reset.

As for the runes you can run really any of 3 sets, Hoelbrak for the might duration increase and condi duration decrease. Ogre for the pet proc for extra damage, and the crit/base damage increase, or Scholar for the crit damage increase, and the possible +10% increase if you by some miracle stay above 90%. Personally I run with the Ogre, but I am tempted to try the Scholar, Hoelbrak are Hoelbrak, they are good.

How does your character survive going into melee in pvp?

Blocks, dodges, daze, and stuns, whirlwind/kite people if you get low, given the huge DPS, most people don’t make it out of the first stun so you don’t have to survive too long. Earlier I downed a guy and got knocked back by two people, hit stab and zerker stance, had elite up, they went to rez him, hit stun on the guard, 100 blades, dropped them both and then was downed in the process, team rolls in, grabs the stomps, victory. Build can be hilarious if played right.

of how fast it goes down

its an dps build, you don`t survive, you kill people fast or you run.
if you really want berserker power, id just go 30 25 0 0 15, much more damage and survibility mobility
sigil of para on mace, bloodlust on shield, since you will be mainly stunning with mace.

Your giving up 15% crit damage for 10% damage on bleed, no thanks.

People still die to 100b’s?

If you hit them with a sigil of para’d skull crack and they don’t have a stun break they don’t have much of a choice

10% more damage on all hits is doing more for you than 15% more crit damage. To put it in perspective, if you crit with that 15% more crit dmg you do 2x normal damage (1.5+0.5), with 10% more damage you’re doing 1.1*(1.5+.35) = 2.035 so you already get more damage on your crits PLUS the extra damage on all your regular attacks (also raising your crit chance 11.9%).

Boon Hate is to much damage to pass up, just melts bunks.

Listen to the man! And watch the invitational tournies. There was a European warrior that ran 30/30/something… in the quarter finals I think it was… the poor guy got blown up over and over and over… I’d had my fingers crossed hoping he would represent but no luck.

The value of boon hate is to much to pass up :P

It’s a hilarious build to use, to blow up those who don’t expect it. But against any player who actually knows what they’re doing, well, that’s a different story.

Honestly, I think people would be surprised at just how survivable you can be as a glass cannon warrior as long as you have mace/shield, GS, play smart, and know when to disengage. Used to run a build similar to this for tpvp (25/25/0/0/20). Actually works really well as a roamer. You come into fights that are already happening, with knowledge of which targets’ stunbreaks have already been baited by your teammates. 1 stun —> 100b and nothing survives. The best part is that the burst is only on an 8 second CD.
