Guild Wars 2

So, I’ve been doing a lot of theorycrafting and so far I’ve come to the following conclusions:

• Berserker “works” best if you ditch Discipline. It hurts, but otherwise you lose out on either sustain or DPS to take the Spec.

• I don’t see much reason to run Power Berserker. You could do Berserker – Defense – Strength, but I feel like the traditional Str-Def-Dis is just better.

I feel ashamed, I normally try to be at least a little creative with my builds, but what I’ve come up with isn’t that creative at all.

Shoutzerker

Yup, it’s basically Shoutbow + Berserker. That being said, there are some unique things about this build that differentiates it from normal Shoutbow.

• It has 3 Stun Breaks, which synergizes well with Rousing Resilience

• Burning Arrows is actually surprisingly good on this. Just with Dual Shot and Fan of Fire you can have a surprisingly good burn uptime.

• If you use “Fear me” and Scorched Earth together you’ll force them to run through all of field which can be very painful. Use Pin down right at the end of the fear and you got a fairly deadly combo.

• If you’re fighting at range you can use Flames of War and then swap to LB and just pew pew away and get the occasional double proc of burn.

Not having Discipline does hurt, but you can actually camp LB and it won’t hurt so bad.

I’m still messing with amulets and sigils, it’s weird not building around a 5 second weapon swap. You also lack Swiftness, but your mobility is still OK due to sword. You could make some changes to the build like adding a Warhorn and Signet of Rage.

I’m not happy about it, but if you wanna be a Berserker and be of use on a team, this is the best I can come up with.

Here it the version that i use:

So, I’ve been messing around a bit, and while I wouldn’t call these builds amazing or viable, they’re somewhat useable.

Mace Condi

Good against builds with low stability and cleanse, but if they do have those things you’re gonna have a hard time. No Discipline line as well.

Berserker GreatAxe

Probably not better than the version with Strength over Berserker. You do gain Head Butt and Outrage which cane be used for easy 100b combos if you can get Headbutt to work right.

You can drop Defense for Strength, but I feel like the sustain Shield offers is really good. Can also drop Axe/Shield for Hammer.

GUUUUNNN FLLLLAAAAMMEEE!

Good damage but fairly weak to high condi uptime. Been trying a lot of different runes. Rage was fairly good, Traveler helps with your lack of movement speed out of combat. You can go even more yolo, but I like at least a little sustain cause I don’t focus on ranging.

It’s still a mediocre elite spec but you can get a bit of fun out of it from time to time.
