This is probably the first berserker build i've played that actually feels like a berserker, WOW so fun! I normally suck at power classes but i'm plowing thru crystal desert mobs and those forged-group assholes like no mans business.
Helium showed this to me (because he now wants to learn it cause its such a fluient rotation) and the first thing I noticed was the music matching the rotation very good. That was really satisfying to watch^^ oooh, and I like your character outfit, fits her well :)
Hey man, im getting into warrior as a returning player and im actually enjoying it very well, i wanted to ask Is berserker good for fractals? do you have any build recomendations for it or is this one fine?
discretize.eu/builds/ dont play much, i think there is much better meta defining picks for fractals, but im sure you can also clear fractals with berserker in pugs or a chilled static
Would say Bladesworn is better (cause enemys get lower life pool means they melt faster). Letz say as long as enemy die fast Bladesworn is the better options since its hard burst Opener. In every other Situation i would say Berserker is the way to Go 😊
Should be fine in fractals. Good cc, cleave, burst just make sure to manage the animation locks properly so you dont get caught out. Spellbreaker is the best fractal build for warrior and bladesworn is a close 2nd due to its burst. Hammer Spellbreaker has lots of self stability, low cd block/evade, mega cc, strong burst and a much easier rotation than bladesworn and berserker. If you play
@@Baseraver dps.report/LSlS-20231004-171524_golem A couple things to note: 1. All my gear is Berserkers except for an assassins chest piece. (no infusions and exotic backpack ((working on that)) 2. In this log I actually drop berserk near the last 20% or so. If i follow your setup and use might signet I can't keep the duration up like you can. 3. When I actually play i replace might signet with Shattering blow and integrate that into the rotation instead. I know this is technically a dps loss but I normally float 36-37k dps regardless of whether or not i'm using might signet. With all boons and food/util I have: 3724 Power 1981 Precision 1812 Ferocity For ease of reading your stats here are: 3981 Power 2050 Precision 1846 Ferocity Now obviously i'm not nearly as optimized but its hard for me to blame it on raw stats when i'm down by a whole 6k dps wen i'm relatively close to your setup. I guess it is worth noting that my abilities seem to do less on average than what you do so maybe that really is it. For instnace my Whirling axe will hit around 75k-90k and yours seems to consistently finish at around 90k-100k. Also yes, I know if i'm dropping berserk that means i'm not doing that rotation as fast you are but I'm honestly at a loss as to how to how you do it. I actually consider myself to be pretty good at following your rotation but I can't for the life of me maintain berserk if i'm not subing otu might signet for shattering blow. Sorry if this is disjointed i'm just trying to leave this for you before I forget and lose the log lmao. Any thoughts or comments would help! Appreciate your great work on these vids.

I wish all these top benchmark players would actually go indepth on how they get this high DPS. No matter how hard I try, no matter how much I replicate the rotation, no matter how much I replicate the gear and build...I just can never get even close to the numbers. And its because of the nuances that go with these videos, wich nobody ever explains. Like how on point do you need to be speed-wise in executing certain parts of the rotation? Wich parts of the rotation needs to be executed near flawless? Wich parts of the rotations give the biggest dps spikes? How well should everything be lined up for that 1 or two big dps increase thats valueable in determing your overall dps? Should there be a delay somewhere in the rotation? Like nobody explains these things on the videos. I followed 1 rotation of a 42k condi reaper dps build. Practiced every day for 2 hours on the golem to try and replicate the DPS. And there was 1 section that was incredibly inconsistent in the rotation, and that was during executing certain skills into weapon swap that allowed for a massive dps spike in bleed damage if done perfectly. If it was done well I got 38.5k. If it was not done well, I would get 36.5k. Thats a 2k-2.5k DPS loss. And the response of the footage owner said that everything has to be lined up near perfect for that one specific big dps increase. Basically you gotta execute pretty much everything without a delay. This game is just so odd man and frustrating. I wish the footage owners would go over the nuances more.
Well, on the one hand I feel you, on the other I gotta ask: What exactly do you want people to tell you? You have the footage at your disposal, you have the log at your disposal, you have everything you need to go and figure out which button was pressed at which point in time. If your rotation differs from the benchrotation, you're going to do less dps (most likely, since you're not at a point at which you can theorycraft your own rotation and differences usually mean unwanted autoattacks). I often hear people say "I am doing the exact same thing as they do!!", but then proceed to have an autoattack after almost every skill. The biggest "issue" on Brs is to actually stay in berserk mode 100% of the time. And once you try to actually replicate the rotation, you will get a feel for what works and what doesn't. Berserker and cReaper aren't that complex when it comes to their rotation, so people tend to not make a "guide" for those builds.
@@presqpuperze I just want the people to tell me the nuances of the rotation. Present the most important bits of the rotation clear to the viewers. And also present what you have to avoid to prevent DPS loss. This game has an absurd skill ceiling. So its important to let the viewers know. I get that you need to stay in berserk 100% uptime. But can you explain how you do it? Why does it not happen to you, but for many others it does? These videos give a shallow presentation on benchmarks, and when you actually do it, its a totally different ballgame. It just does not work. It just doesnt for 99% of players.

Please do not forget to provide an average dps log of yours at the golem with exactly the same boons and conditions, food and utility, and preferably full ascended gear Any deviation from this setup should be mentioned, even infusions.
@@CrystronHalq You see, I have a little problem here with that answer. You ask "Can you explain how you do it?", and I have actually just now (literally the minute I am typing htis response) started to learn the spec, and yes, I can. You have skills that extend your berserk time, you time those near perfectly to extend berserk indefinitely. I get that you want to know the details of the build, however, if you can't follow the rotation even remotely (I am pressing basically random buttons and drop out of berserk at roughly 20% golem hp), you should focus on that first and foremost.
Dragonhunter is worse by a very minimal amount, numbers with gear from last patch: Power Berserker Stat Changes when fully buffed going from Scholar --> Dragonhunter Plus 67 Ferocity (+ 4.5% Critical Damage) Minus 71 Power Minus 15 Conditon Damage With Cilantro Lime Sous-Vide Steak Potent Superior Sharpening Stone Now, when you run either Scholar Rune or Dragonhunter Rune and perform the rotation you screenshot your stat panel when youre fully buffed while in berserk (all buffs up at max stacks) and compare the stats Now you want to optimize the following function: f(Power, Ferocity) = Power x (Ferocity + 2250) For Scholar Rune the Product I calculated is: 18,965.958 For Dragonhunter Rune the Product is: 18,934.602 Scholar seems to be slightly ahead for this specialization.
@@Baseraver I have the build 1:1 copied. Double, triple, quadruple checked. Same food, same utilities same everything. Whenever I'm done with the golem and I check my crit hits in arc it always says 92%. Can't seem to get over 39.5k cause of it
almost doesnt matter on static encounters, especially doesnt matter if you dont run writs take for example dhuum, you want t position on a safe spot before using gs2 to not get hit and lose writ uptime but if you dont use writs this also doesnt matter its only annoying in fights where the boss moves randomly like sloth/matt/etc

Why did you feel the other berserker builds in the past didn’t feel like a berserker?

oooh, and I like your character outfit, fits her well :)
And here i was hoping Warrior would get something nice next balance patch.
can i substituto GS for another weapon and still have the same dps? or like 3k lost

Nice video. What exactly have been changed in terms of balance compared to last patch? Couldn't find anything impactful related to berserker.
stealth buff: axe f1 coefficient went from 3.0 to 3.3
thats why axe/axe pzerk is at 40.6k now as well
@@Baseraver Oh, thats nice. Thanks
Im between power berseker🎉 and power vindicator, both get buff in this patch, who is best dps in your opinion?
there is no "best dps" in this game because multiple builds perform best in different situations
Bro 2 questions, first, where is that mob to try that test? And second one, for wvw is better longbow and 2 axe or longbow and greatsword??
No OP. Mobs in the special forces training grounds in LA aerodrome. This build sucks for wvw dont use it. Its a pve build.
wrong place to ask for pvp or wvw builds, sorry mate i dont play those modes
Great to see it!
What would be a dps loss of replacing Signet with other utility?
sth around ~4.6% = ~2000 dps

How much dps loss would rune of the dragonhunter be?
Dragonhunter is worse by a very minimal amount, numbers with gear from last patch:
Power Berserker Stat Changes when fully buffed going from Scholar --> Dragonhunter
Plus 67 Ferocity (+ 4.5% Critical Damage)
Minus 71 Power
Minus 15 Conditon Damage
With
Cilantro Lime Sous-Vide Steak
Potent Superior Sharpening Stone
Now, when you run either Scholar Rune or Dragonhunter Rune and perform the rotation you screenshot your stat panel when youre fully buffed while in berserk (all buffs up at max stacks) and compare the stats
Now you want to optimize the following function: f(Power, Ferocity) = Power x (Ferocity + 2250)
For Scholar Rune the Product I calculated is: 18,965.958
For Dragonhunter Rune the Product is: 18,934.602
Scholar seems to be slightly ahead for this specialization.
Are you crit capped? Or just rng with the crits? I always seem to be around 92% crits
84,95% / 85% out of berserker, 100% in berserker

@@jesse9710 can you link me your gear or sth? you should have 85% out of berserk

how much dps loss when the target doesnt stand still and attacks/ goes invuln
too many variables to answer this accurately
Hundred Blades - Proceeds to vomit coz the animation lock is annoying to play.
almost doesnt matter on static encounters, especially doesnt matter if you dont run writs
take for example dhuum, you want t position on a safe spot before using gs2 to not get hit and lose writ uptime but if you dont use writs this also doesnt matter
its only annoying in fights where the boss moves randomly like sloth/matt/etc
Is there still stowing stuff to know ?
no stow at all
Such a sad first number :/
Buff or nerf?
we got buffed, we had 42k before this patch
