Condition Berserker

August 2022

Condition Berserker can achieve very good DPS, but due to a long rotation, it’s not the preferred choice for novice players.

Build Fundamentals

You have the ability to almost permanently be in Berserk. After step 33 in the rotation, follow the guide below. One of the main things to keep in mind is using Rage skills to increase the uptime of your Berserk and making use of the reduced Weapon Swap cooldown from Fast Hands.

For learning purposes, the rotation can be broken down into a few main elements:

• Flames of War, Blaze Breaker, Pin Down, Shattering Blow and Sundering Leap should be used off cooldown. Sundering Leap should be used inside a fire field, preferably Scorched Earth. More information below.
• Use Outrage off cooldown too, but also use it to break self-stun from Head Butt if possible.
• Use Fan of Fire and Scorched Earth twice during each longbow part of your rotation, use Scorched Earth 3 times if you have Blood Reckoning available. Use Fan of Fire as the first and last skill in the longbow part of your rotation.
• Arcing Arrow should replace Dual Shot twice in the Longbow part of the rotation when Pin Down, Sundering Leap and Shattering Blow are on-cooldown. And once when Pin Down, Sundering Leap and Shattering Blow are off-cooldown.
• During the sword part of your rotation use Blaze Breaker, Flames of War (if it is off cooldown), and Flaming Flurry once.
• Use Final Thrust off cooldown when your target is below 50% health.
• Do not delay Weapon Swap.

Upkeeping 25 stacks of Furious is hard to do but can be achieved by cleaving enemies and positioning your Scorched Earth so that it hits 3 times. Doing this correctly will noticeably improve your DPS.

Once you are comfortable with the rotation you can start to implement Savage Leap into it every time you swap to Sword/Torch. Using this in your fire fields will create a  Fire Aura on you due to Leap Finisher which you can then detonate using any Berserker skill for extra DPS, thanks to King of Fires. The same is true when using Sundering Leap in a fire field, mentioned above.
