I've been searching on forums for a Berserker spec thread for a while and haven't found any threads, So I'm making this one.

My berserker is coming up on lvl 40 and I'm not sure what I should do for his respec.

I am currently spec'ed into Axe and LA, but I have had a lot of people ask me why I went that way.

So is Sword, LA better? What way should I go? How many points should I put into each skill?

I'm looking for a good rvr spec.

-Thanks

Axe has more Style Efefcts on its Styles. Good for Man vs. Man Fights.

Hammer turns 2/3 of your Damage to Crush Type Damage. Good for smashing Paladins and Armsmen. I personally dislike Hammer, Taunt and Backsnare got low endu, but high defense penalty. 50 Sword for Ragnarok would be nessecary if you went to sword spec. Badass Damage from Behind. Also nice chain styles.

Of course, two Axes have the most style (not meant weapon styles!)

Crush damage does bonus damage vs alb leather and hib leather/studded too.

Best spec for zerker rr5+ in my opinion is 36 + 14 hammer, 36+14 axe , 50+15 Laxe rest parry like 26 or so.

You have full dmg using any Laxe styles like backchain ones and the anytimer doublefrost. Having slash dmg and crush dmg at your disposal you can use slash for alb hib chain/scale and switch to crush dmg vs Bm bard and pala arms.

Going 50 hammer 50 laxe is the dumbest spec i have ever seen, 1st of all crush dmg is so bad vs albs hibs because all of those in chain r resistant to it, while with slash u hit albs neutral and hibs with+10 % , i make 240+ on druids with mainh using backstyles.

35 +14 hammer its enough to keep your base dmg good, but with provoke even if its low end cost as anytimer and has like 58% growth style on paper with this spec unbufed i get a growth style of 50% for provoke , if i d have been 50+14 hammer it should have been 64% , but still is so low compared with doublefrost that can get up to 80%+ easily under same circumstances.

Every1 yells backsnare conquer for bersy ! i havent maked bersy to hit a drood for 140(-100) with conquer just to snare him down when i can hit for 240(-46) using slash dmg .
As for end usage, if you sham will die u wil not have end for provoke either, best thing is to have endu barel @ u, if end indeed is low you can use provoke aswell or any other anytimerfrom slash..

With this spec ..u have both slash and crush at your disposal,and i can say i was one of the first to use it here where most of the zerkers were hammer and doing 130 mainh dmg vs clerics and droods , and i like it lots.

no..no aplauds..its sad that still so many zerkers are hammer spec and make such a crap dmg ..no wonder ppl take savages because those at least got thrust slash claws and do hit the enemy, not only scratch it.

I've yet do see a zerker do crap damage, regardless of their spec.

This.

Conquer is better than anything axe or sword has to offer. If Ragnarok was like the live version, I would go sword.

Provoke is rediculously low endo usage :>

What is different between our Ragnarok and Live Ragnarok?

It says backsnare but with medium damage, medium to-hit Bonus and low penalty unlikely conquer with high damage, high defense penalty and no to hit bonus.

On Eden Ragnarok has a Growthrate of 0.88. That means 50 sword Trollzerker deals badass Damage.

Below the line Ragnarok would be better with 50 sword/50 Laxe and 28 Parry spec.

Slowed means haste debuffed. Hindered means snare. Know the difference.

Also on uthgard ragnarok has 0.89 growth.

Why would a zerker use any other backstyles over the insane left axe backchain anyway ?

Ah, sorry was my fault. Was late yesterday

You mean Snowsquall/Icy Brilliance Combo? Nice growth rate but the Merc make better bleeding damage (25 over 40 seconds = 250) instead of 9

No I mean the snowsquall > icy brilliance > aurora borealis combo that kills any caster in those 3 hits if he doesn't get healed asap.

Bleeding, lolwhat ?

nvm the catacoms charplaner is lying

hhahahaha good bleed had frontal style in DW on alb.. like 20 per tick , after 1.9x many styles got good bleeds.. yet mid back chain in Laxe is the shiet

no dont go with 50 axe 50 la... better to go 50 LA and then a 44 Axe because you can not composite axe over 50. then you also get a 36 parry as opposed to whatever it would be with 50 axe
