Power Berserker DPS was my first class and I used to watch your videos and learn and I’ve since then played 6 classes and 7 builds..but nothing gives me the joy of playing Zerker. You chose a song you had used on your older rotation videos, hit me in the feels lol. Our boy needs to be at least 37k, this ain’t right.
Coming in at 30.5k so far I didn’t realize you were head butting then F2 then outrages been doing it the old way. I’ll change that I also just practice on. 1million golem maybe I’ll switch the muscle memory is there for sure. Thanks for the build warrior main only way to go.
new way: up to 72s 1st berserk uptime old way: around 57s the old rotation benches slightly higher still I believe but I thought its good to publish this rotation for when you want increased duration
Tried headbutt to F2 to outrage and went to 31.5 kinda weird why I’m up on damage consistently with that small change but only on a one million life golem though
@@rggimpninja8924 both variants are same dps early on what you have experienced there is either a) you have gotten faster on the execution (or are inconsistent) b) Weapon Strength rng (900-1100 on axes, meaning lowest vs highest can make a difference of about 18.2% if you permanently roll lowest value on your skills vs perma highest roll which is unrealistic af but yeah) c) both Also dont forget, I do stow cancel GS F1 right after the third hit goes through to cancel the skills aftercast animation allowing me to be almost 300ms faster per GS F1 used
I tried just benching with the old loop as always. The first number usually was around 36.0-36.3k if done correctly. The only deviations are as follows: Opening Sequence now is: Headbutt --> Berserk --> Outrage to get the extra berserk mode extension right away. In this video you see me skip Axe 4 when I swap to GS right after hitting the 80% number. That was a "mistake" I only noticed before rendering the video. But it turned out that the rotation later lines up lol. The other deviation from the old loop you see at 0:58 where I use a different skill sequence because I was about to run out of Berserk mode and I didnt want to risk doing so. So I used Berserk extenders during Axe rotation like that and it all lined up well after. Whenever I followd the old loop rotation perfectly, I was ending berserk mode at a very bad position in the rotation. I think that is the reason why this variation benched higher the first time I "derped" it. And then when you get back to zerk mode, youre already below 25% HP and can start using Axe 3 a bit more again as before.
Bruh you inspired me to remake my zerker and I brought him into raid wings 1 and 2 and I popped off. Even with its low dps bench, my muscle memory kicked in. I love power zerker it’s so much fun. Also, I noticed the zerker duration feels so much longer and I love it! ANET just give my boy his top numbers and get shitbreaker out of here!
added some more detail in the description btw basically old rota seemed slightly better still on average but this one has more uptime on 1st berserk so its w/e, lets not focus too much on benching this cause it needs buffs either way
You think this build is good for raids and strikes? I brought this in to raid wings 1 and 2 and managed to be 2nd in dps. On Sabetha I ended with 27.6k 2nd behind a Vindicator that ended at 30k. What are your thoughts on its current state and raiding with zerker?
Strong for: Qadim 1 Viable enough for: VG/Gorseval/Samarog/CA/Adina For all other fights there are better alternatives I dont play strikes, I dont care about Strikes, theyre all shit except HT CM. But to answer the question: For EoD Strikes, there is no fight where Zerker is good at
darling, condi is slowly creeping up to 37k IF you do it properly, most people get to 35k max if theyre good pberserker however, reaches 37k+ directly in the opener and stays there during 1st Berserk if you can phase fights within 1st Berserk (which is easy to do on fights whre its good at) it is very much viable if did slot in shattering blow instead of signet of might, i wouldve been able to keep berserk up permanently btw leading to a benchmark at 36-36.5k+ or so the reason i use signet for the standard build is that usually, only 1st berserk matters and its just stronger if you dont lose it the permazerk rotation can be found here but its slightly outdated, hes stowing shattering blow at the beginning so that it doesnt hit but he gets the stavbility, so headbutt did more dmg, now this interaction with headbutt is gone and you can start with headbutt right away: th-cam.com/video/F5trITlt1ow/w-d-xo.html keep in mind you want to be weapon stowing GS F1 after the third hit to save a lot of time per F1 (up to 300ms!)

Are there any other builds in gw2 that play like power zerker? I’ve tried so many different classes/builds and nothing has compared to this. Anything you’d say has this same action/dynamic feel to it’s rotation? Or is power zerker just in a class of its own?
classes that can keep attacking while moving 24/7 include cRen, cChrono (largos only, otherwise complete trash, also no one is benching it anymore), cMech with pistol/pistol
@@Baseraver oh okay, I’m trying to match my bladesworn build and my zerker build so I just used an accuracy sigil and kept everything I had on as full zerker, that’s fine right?
a LOT cause you wont critcap when you run scholar runes and full berserker gear you dont crticap even with accuracy sigil and precision food, your at ~91% or so having 100% crit is much more important on power berserker thanon other power classes, since you rely on critting to get more adrenaline and if you run more assassins pieces ot make up for the missing precision youre already a few % lower in dps naturally so i dont recommend wasting money and gearpieces on it
I see that you said for the first headbutt you don’t need to hit outrage? Does that mean the first F2 we press acts as a stun break? But if we do press outrage out of habit is that a dps loss?
no We headbutt, press Berserk F2, then we stunbreak with outrage in this order we get the extra duration from outrage if you do headbutt, outrage, berserk you miss those 3s after that standard combo headbutt (self stun) --> outrage (stunbreak)
like, you can still do it the same way as older benchmarks, but then berserk will last for 57s and not 72s but 57s is more than enough also for most bosses (except CA phase 1)
Wait I’m confused sorry you said you lose just 3 seconds or is it 15 seconds lost? And is it only for ur very first berserk? And if it’s a difference of 72 to 57 seconds isn’t that a huge dps loss cuz you won’t be in berserk mode?
bro can you please tell me your stats/ items i have full berserker ascended and have legenday axes and GS set to berserker with correct runes/ sigil... my crit rate is only 56% on gs... can you please teach me how you get 100% crit rate... or share your build? thanks so much...i really wana play berserker but my dps is kinda shit in fractals and raids.
en.gw2skills.net/editor/?PKwAceFlRwmYLMHmJO+WaNLA-zxQYhojebeHCKmCpzQo2EoiKwzDSYsHeNUYGA-e fractals are all about high burst on power, this spec doesnt offer high burst, it only really has consistent dps, but it works well on some raid encounters
wrong, we would be at 37.5k+ if they also buffed Bloody Roar from 25% to 33% and at over 38k+ if they gave Smash Brawler 10s duration and a 10% dmg mod making it finally worth taking for the power build i will at some point create another forum post about this
@@Baseraver thats a big oof ngl Berserker's been on the down trend since banner changes i think and now, still oof At least spellbreaker is decent again, i just wish both specs were somewhat even tbh in regards to power dps, not making zerker for condi only again and spellbreaker for power
yes, for the axe set on GS its 99.95% with this setup but if youre too worried about not critting 0.05% of the time you can run like a +4 or +5 precision infusion extra on your GS and youre capped
I ran accuracy sigils but then I’m at 102% crit chance..I just wanted to keep it unified with the baldesworn build..do you happen to know why the SnowCrows bench for Bladesworn has the Bladesworn run accuracy sigils to have 102% crit chance?

The MVP and the reason I refused to give up on my Zerker. What rotation are you following for this one?
I tried just benching with the old loop as always. The first number usually was around 36.0-36.3k if done correctly.
The only deviations are as follows:
Opening Sequence now is: Headbutt --> Berserk --> Outrage to get the extra berserk mode extension right away.

gonna make them buff it next maybe :)

ah nice, p berserker is finally as good as quickness cata. **goes to cry in corner**
i have no explanation for the rotation change other than "I derped but still ended higher, dont ask me why" Im fucking lmao

For all other fights there are better alternatives
I dont play strikes, I dont care about Strikes, theyre all shit except HT CM.
But to answer the question:
For EoD Strikes, there is no fight where Zerker is good at
You would think the beserker spec would be the best with best with beserk gear. Why does it have to be condi?
darling, condi is slowly creeping up to 37k IF you do it properly, most people get to 35k max if theyre good
pberserker however, reaches 37k+ directly in the opener and stays there during 1st Berserk

a LOT cause you wont critcap
