Weapon for Berserker Elite Spec
For me I have found it to be very useful as a warrior to have all of the weapons you can use in your bags with you at all times. This means you can swap in and out of weapons depending on your circumstances.
The torch really acts as an offhand utility weapon mixed in with burn application.
Skill 5 allows you to clear two conditions while creating the fire field around you, which can be used in an organised group to stack might on the boss rather than before the boss. Also means all your blast finishers will be doing damage and be giving might (Thief Short bow comes to mind).
Greatsword however, will forever be the bread and butter of the warrior class. Might on critical hits + so much utility.
If you don’t have an ascended Greatsword already, pick that. If you do then pick what you think you will use/need.

This is very helpful as I wasn’t sure if the Greatsword would be obsolete as a Berserker. I’ll be picking the Ascended Greatsword. Thanks!

GS won’t be obsolete since berserker isn’t a good spec and there really isn’t a reason to be running it over a normal warrior.

Yup, and torch right now is pretty weak, unless you’re going completely condi and want to run a very particular Berserker I would say just hold onto your horde and wait to see how the class turns out.

Warrior might actually be able to pull off this elite spec in Sinister gear, being that you will have maximum Condi damage while maintaining your Crit chance and slightly lower Power.
To me it looks like this elite spec was designed around this stat type. As an example the Longbow’s rage burst skill will actually do more damage via burns than the standard providing that the target is either running towards you or away from you.
It is too early however to say the elite spec sucks, we only had 2 weekends to play it (too soon to jump to conclusions).
I however was hoping for a pistol main hand for the warrior (look at that H.O.P.E.. oh.. ok that’s ironic) Being that we lacked a 1h ranged weapon.
Time will tell how good the Torch is, but from what I used it for, I actually found it not that bad at all! Lets find out on friday!

Not really, people have been playing around on it a LOT during those weekends and people only ever managed to find “okay” builds that sacrifice survivability for decent condi pressure, however even in that regard the Berserker is painfully “outclassed” by other classes.
I mean I’m really not trying to be pessimistic but the Berserker is quite the mess (imo by far the elite spec that needs a rework (not adjustment but complete rework)).
