Character/build -> Berserker currently lvl 84.
Non-crit with Resolute technique.
Ascendancy passives -> War bringer, Crave the slaughter, Rite of Ruin, Aspect of carnage.
Gem links -> Rage vortex, fortify, pulverise, brutality, rage, melee phys.

My feedback is that the skill has very good damage potential & utility, but it requires Redblade banner shield to be viable.

Even with ascendancy giving rage on hit + rage support + war bringer, the rage generation is too slow to use the skill consistently.

Its a great idea for a skill, but limiting it by requiring a unique item is not the right move. There's just too much difference between using the shield and not using it, since with it and using any warcry you go instantly to full rage when below 25.
ssfhc point of view
Berserk 90(character died long time ago, but whatever)

First of all: Weapon type restriction. Why prohibit staves? They already suffer from a lack of skills variety.

Second: Slowing down mechanic. Some mobs despite being white or blue have a large amount of hp. For example, expedition fat monsters are all white, little cockroaches from harvest also white & etc. Fighting with them sometimes feels like hell. Vortex should slow down more even on low rarity opponents. Or just give skill more dmg, so white mobs could die while he just passing by, lol.

Third: Redblade banner is pretty much mandatory

As of 3.21 the animation for the rage storm in rage vortex does not animate. the only thing that happens is the visual scratches on the surface.
