Berzerker In PvP

[Foxraging.1269]

I usually run core warrior in pvp and do very well using hammer/gs or axeshield/gs.However recently ive been running power berzerker spec with various weapons and finding that im doing less damage while being more squishy.Anyone have any advice on power berzerkers viability in pvp?

Core warrior has amazing sustainability which is why you seem squishier than it. With the nerfs to cast times berserker warrior has become near obsolete, especially considering how spellbreaker is everything berserker is with near core warrior sustain.

I have been trying Zerk and SB in WvW and will run SB up until they nerf Full Counter... not because they should but because people are complaing about having to stop mashing buttons for 1.5 secs. Once SB is useless Im going back to core.

Zerk is my favorite just doesnt seem viable in WvW.

If you're coming across a lot of cc in pvp, then you could get a lot of mileage out of RR with beserker. You have better lockdown too.

I think you could make a go of it in pvp, but the days of Berserker face rolling are over.

The only reason FC seems OP is because people are running SB 2-2-2. They are literally putting all their eggs in their basket. I personally prefer 3-3-3 if running d/d or 3-(1 or 2)-3. That way if I miss FC I'm not weak for the next few seconds.

Yeah I understand that it was done to make all specs play different. Strength 3-2-2, Defense 1-1-2, Discipline 2-3-3. Running this build will mean landing your bursts and might stacking will give you Godly insane sustain. 133 healing per might, 366 for healing signet, and 133 per second per stack of Adrenal Health. So three stacks of AH means 399 + 366 + 133 = 898 healing per second.
