Berserk - and why this class should be immediately changed [Long] [it seems 2.3 fixes it all]

for a class deemed by some as broken OP and very very very very very (...) VERY strong - with special attention focused on Cloaked in Savagery - results are pretty 'meh'

and i bet that 95% if not more of these took the 40% more damage. turning entire class into a walking 7Link

just as i expected and contrary to some people in this thread insisted

im still waiting for a Cloaked in Savagery build - build that works BECAUSE of CiS not DESPITE it using this node

in 2.3 it might work (because the node gets quite a big buff), in 2.2 i havent seen a single one (yet)

Not very likely to happen now.

I do have an evasion dual wield VP claw Berserker a la TL2 planned out, but it never got its turn. Probably should have built that instead of CoC goddess unleashed, didn't really like how that one turned out in the end, but I didn't have any good claws sitting around.

I made a build that is totally based around Cloaked in Savagery for PSC. Not only that but it's single-target melee. It might be better with Lacerate, however.

Berserker is fine as a class, especially now that 8 points are possible. The buffs are really great as far as playability is concerned, especially the permanent mana leech. War Bringer also got a MASSIVE buff, Rite of Ruin got a MASSIVE buff, I think Berserker is just fine.

Cloaked in Savagery + scold's bridle + insane mana cost = 100% leech permanent uptime.

I played my coc,cwdt berserk this legue and i have to admit that it was pretty noob friendly.
Never cared for map+strongbox roll´s, the game would always freeze anyway´s.

But Tier 10 was the highest i could find and Mal/piety+ dopple damage roll oneshoted me (6.5oo total lifepool). Therefor, i may drop herald´s completly and pick EQ with passive reset, because of MoM.

I kinda agree that berserk isn´t that strong, if you dont want to get damaged.
Those change´s are pretty cool, unconditional leach.
