Power zerker dead?

I only see condi zerker on the snowcrows benchmarks, is power zerker so bad that they don't include it?

Benches 34k still, they posted BSW since on the golem it is a high benchmark, but unrealistic.

Snowcrows often removes builds that are still "viable".
They also removed spellbreaker hand kiter, which is a perfectly fine build for hand kiting too.
Power dps berserker is "fine," especially now that we have 5% crit bonus in our strength line.
Bladesworn has the highest power dps bench, but it's not so easy (or fun imo) to play in real encounters.
But yeah, warrior still mostly suffers from a severe lack of useful utility in groups, especially now that banners are trash.

You can still bring quite a lot of value on bosses like vg, samarog or sloth. Pretty much any boss that requires a lot of cc or has longer phases since your burst damage is really bad but your sustained damage is quite good. Since cc isnt as valuable as other utility, which warrior lacks, you might want to consider your choice for every encounter. 

 

Condi berserker is reliant on combos to detonate fire auras to reach its best dps. Slow ramp up, forced in melee to do damage. Not a good pick for any condi heavy fight.

you can bring anything in pve really, it hardly matters since you'll still be able to clear.
