Lonecap.4105 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Please. This will go such a long way in making Berserker feel great and much more playable in all game modes. Please seriously consider this suggestion. Also don't tie it in with a trait, just add the ability on F2 to end Berserk. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryorion.9532 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Agree, I would also suggest removing berserk duration increases from rage skills and instead they would again provide reasonable amount of adrenaline on use/hit.The 15-20 second duration would be most likely too short for endgame PvE, so add short Berserk duration increases on primal bursts, e.g. 0.5 sec on Decapitate, 2 seconds on Scorched Earth, etc. Exact number on specific primal burst would have to be calculated to avoid too long/short durations. This shouldn't be too strong in PvP/WvW where people actually evade/block attacks. This isn't mean to make berserker much stronger but to have better control over it and be more flexible, instead.

Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 This was asked for when the Berserker rework happened. Hasn't come to pass yet, nor will it I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeqkOneStylez.8047 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I say they should allow berserker to use regular burst skills again outside of berserk mode. Seeing as how alot of the berserk bursts were downgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 When you're berserk, you are out of control so I don't think that you should be able to choose to end it. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion.I agree with the principle of what you’re saying, but balance should come before flavour imo. And many agree Berserker feels bad to play atm.

When you say many...Berserker is fine as it is.Berserker is legitimately worse off in terms of how it plays than it used to be before the rework. It lacks flow, cohesion with itself and other traitlines and its gameplay consists of one trick pony gimmicks like Arc Divider and Gunflame.They did too much to it. All people wanted was for Berserk Mode to proc adrenaline traits when its used...they did that, but then they did a bunch of other things that were unnecessary and turned it into even more of a meme spec than it already was (primarily gunflame).

Blocki.4931 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 All I want is that they change the mechanic. Go Berserk at full adrenaline, stay in berserk as long as you can continue to keep using Bursts/don't run out of adrenaline. One of these would be wonderful. That said, why would you ever NOT be in your strongest state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion.If we are going thematic, berserk mode should end as soon as one goes out of combat, it's the same principle as adrenaline loss. however, that would probably be pure evil in competitive modes when one can disengage to force a. wasted berserk (even if going ooc would end it without setting it on cooldown). :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you went for a burst but for whatever reason it failed. Times like this when you’re kiting away from a fight to reset CDs is a time you would want to end Berserk sooner rather than later.

sarangajit.5648 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 F2 ends berserk mode and 33% of the time left in berserk mode is given as cooldown reduction for berserk mode. This might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
