Re: The Berserker Build
I made a berserker barb on europa ladder. it was so cheap! i used botd with 401 ed and it had around 7k average damage. it was rapeing anything at pvm but at pvp the problem is that u don have atack rating . if u can get nough ar it will be completely awesome.! mersi radule pentru ghid. e marfa rau. app io am pus 20 puncte in synergii si pe urma in axe mastery estul . poate asa e mai bine . nush. oricum bafta in continuare!
Berserk is viable in PvP
Get the synergies on, get enormous resists, a shield and a lightning fast weapon. The shield isn't necessary.
One hit killer. Takes some skills mind, unless you don't mind teleporting after people. Then again, most pvp builds require some skill...

I think with the removal of IM in 1.13 the berserker build is going to significantly lose popularity.

Re: The Berserker Build
removal of im? thats kinda lame i like the challenge.
although i will like the ez running of cs on my mffrenzier.
but zerk is for all PI not just for im.
what zerk bad ar?? are you mental? zerk had nasty ar alone, and masteries ofc, you should have upwards of 18k ar with hilords/raven/raven, no charms...
my hybrid ww/zerker has 52k max ar(lol gleglaws glove/shield, rare fools lo/lo grandmasters ba of quickness, angelics, hsarus boots/belt) and im going to add sigons armor,helm both socketed with pdiamonds. im hoping to acchive 70k.

Re: The Berserker Build
I agree, berserkers will definitely not disseapear. Berserk is mainly the best against 2 particular situations, PI's and when IM is casted on you.
50% of the berserkers strenght is gone now, whirlwind is going to obliterate chaos sanctuary now.

Re: The Berserker Build
Berserk does magic damage which is mostly unresisted in CS. Howl synergy -> Extremely fast CS runs.
It'll still be an awesome boss/key runner so far in the 1.13 patch.
'Course, you could hybridize and create a really nice Zerk/WW Barb to form VOLTRON.

Re: The Berserker Build
About the guide:
You forgot about a great deal of important things:
1. Berserk is a one target at a time skill. Swinging constantly means defense 0 all the time which leaves you blocking or recovering from hits quite often. Plus it still needs AR to score a hit and the attack can be blocked and interrupted. For that reason I think Berserk is a backup skill at best.
2. War Cry stun length must be divided by 4 on Hell difficulty. It's just over 1 second and it is worthless IMO.
3. Magic Immune stone skin bosses? You rely on what to dispatch them effectively?
4. Just a side note: Killing the Ubers with berserk? I'd like to see some videos cos I have very serious doubts it is an easy task with this build.

Re: The Berserker Build
This is wrong. Stun length (from any skill) does not decrease in NM or Hell.
They are a little too rare to be worried about. There are only two different types of monsters that can be PI/MI (Plague Bearers and Wailing Beasts) and none of them are in really vital areas (Act 2 Lost City and AT, and Act 3 Temples).
Re: The Berserker Build
It's a 2004 guide, the author hasn't been around since 2007. I'm not sure what you are trying to prove with snappy comments like these.
Berserk is a viable PvM skill. You were wrong about the stun length. PI/MIs are not nearly the trouble you make them out to be.
