How I Play My Level 115 Berserker

• Role: Pure burst melee. Disciplines only, no spells.
• Character: Heroic Berserker being power-leveled with the 130 main group.
• Gear: Velium Threaded weapons (CoV tier 3), Snowbound non-visuals (ToV tier 1) plus the Paladin's hand-me-downs.
• Multibind: Everything on the 5 button. Push once, the whole rotation fires.

• Restless Frenzy (Timer 11, 10min reuse): Frenzy strike proc on melee for 3,000 damage. Lasts 36s, refreshes on each strike. Requires below 90% health.
• Magnified Frenzy (Timer 11, 2min reuse): Adds 6,500 damage to each hit. Same timer but much shorter reuse. Requires below 90% health.
• The trick: Cast Restless first. Once it falls off, Magnified is always up to fill the timer. Both stay rolling at maximum uptime.

Health threshold: Keeping under 90% is the hardest part with a Shaman group healing. Sometimes the heal ticks bring you back above 90% before you can refresh.

• Axe of Derakor: Three massive axe swings (875, 1200, 500 base damage, hits for 115k/154k/205k). Consumes Axe of the Vindicator reagents from the summon.
• Vindicating Volley: Four-axe ranged flurry, ~40k per hit, 12s reuse.
• Vindicating Axe Throw: Single ranged axe throw for ~83k damage.
• Vicious Revolution (Timer 16): 4,700 AoE to up to 12 targets. Use over Arc Slash for big pulls.
• Seething Rage: Melee proc adds two extra attacks for 291 each. 27% chance to refresh.
• Phantom Assailant: Pet clone that does negligible damage. Mostly there because it's free.
• Composite Rage: Current progressive. Three two-handed slashes for 5,100 damage plus a group buff (300 stats, hate reduction, +6,700 DS damage). Cast on cooldown.

• What it does: Buffs your target's target (the tank) with a damage boost. +163 damage with 1H, +324 with 2H for 30 seconds.
• Self component: +491 damage on your own 2H weapon for the duration.
• Stack effect: Notice 500k to 1 million DPS uplift on the Warrior when this is rolling.
• Group impact: Helps the whole 6-box passively hit 10 million DPS without trying.

Use on cooldown: 30 second buff that's almost always up. Berserker + Warrior is one of the strongest melee pairings in the game because of this single ability.

• Silent Strikes: Aggro reduction. Open with this.
• Focused Furious Rampage AA: Adds extra primary-hand melee rounds.
• Desperation AA: +25% overhaste, +10% additional hit chance for 5 minutes.
• Blinding Fury: +750 attack power, lower weapon delay, more double attack chance. You go blind for the duration so make sure positioning is set.
• Spire of the Juggernaut: Hit point boost plus damage and crit damage scaling.
• Mangling Discipline: +221% crit chance, +54 base damage on all attacks.
• Avenging Flurry Discipline: -18% weapon delay, 100% double attack, 15% flurry chance. Level 89 disc that never gets replaced.
• Vehement Rage: Base damage boost, lowers incoming heals (acceptable trade).

Burn 3: Battlecry, Frenzied Resolve (+30% accuracy + extra hit), Savage Spirit (+290% melee damage, costs 25% HP), Intensity of the Resolute (+50% damage, doesn't stack with glyph), and Brutal Discipline (massive damage potential).

• Juggernaut Surge: Turns you into a Gollum. Visual flair plus a weapon damage boost. Looks cool, can be blocked if you don't want it.
• Draw Blood: Gravitates you toward your target. Useful when blinded during burns.
• Battle Leap: Position jump for 75k damage on landing. Same as the Warrior version. Critical for box positioning.
• Binding Axe Strike: Damage plus an attack power debuff and snare.
• Intimidation: Decimator's Intimidation buff. Increases incoming damage from frenzy attacks. Pair with Auto Skill Frenzy for free damage.
• Blood Pact AA: Proc that consumes 1% HP for 6,000 damage. Upgrades to 7,000 next rank.

• Best group armor: Terror of Luclin tier 1 or CoV tier 3. Very close in stats.
• Two-hander: Velium Threaded with the lifetap aug (71% of 7,000 lifetap). 19 ratio.
• Belt: Overpunch belt (slow proc belt).
• Power source: Attacker source, not tank source.
• Stat focus: Stack Heroic Dexterity for melee classes. Aerodexterity and Vigor on non-visuals.
• Tribute: Bulwark of Honor, Eyes of the Hunter, Fury of Combat, Hero's Deafness, Vengeful Aura.

AA priority when leveling: Pick anything that boosts damage on the abilities you actually use. Defense is wasted when you're being power-leveled in a high-tier group.
