The new Berserker degen is the worst joke ever

Imho Berserker is about STILL doing damage while any other class already lies beneath the earth/ground.
It's about single target/crowd control as long as you're enragend / in rage, ignoring most of incoming damage/fatal hits.

Yet GGG is trying to transform this class into some shitty dps blob with degen effects during battle,sad.

Pls take a look at some old school rpg's like Eye of the Beholder, Baldur's Gate 1&2 or Icewind Dale or Neverwinter Nights.
Or read the description of "Berserkers" in old norse sources.

Yea I totally agree on that.

The funny thing is that I have mentioned something similar back in the 3.0 beta forum, I said Berserker should be something that fits to the common and historical perception of berserks that is specialized as much and as less as every other ascendary class in the game instead of just a dps and leech or instant regen token for everything that likes to utilize the strongest game mechanics in the moment without any gear investment.

Then I had to let myself getting schooled for like 50 pages by the wise beta community about how I have no idea how this game works for them and how GGG intends the game to be. 50 fucking pages full of people outsmarting me with bullshit talk while they had no idea whats going on and whats going to happen after another league of "who is the best RF zerker".

Now see what happened. GGG obviously got tired of balancing the game around berserker and after nerfing most of the game mechanics related to him they gave up on him and transformed Berserker into an anti righetous fire attack only leech pile of "increased attack damage and attack speed" that is more of a build itself than an ascendary class. Who would have thought this could happen in build diversity rainbow and sunshine land?

Haha git gud

The double effects of rage shouldn't include life degen anyways. GGG are just a bunch of retards who cater to a small audience. 3.0 through beginning of 3.2 "Waaaaaaaaaah berserkers are OP!!" When people were making scions with BF / cleave and can close to 2 shot all bosses... yeah berserkers op...

What's really sad is that this used to be a great budget build for dual ancestral warchief totems. Now the degen just completely ruins it... I can get one shot now in any map with patches of ground. Can't do any form of less or no regen maps. And now hits from bosses are 10 x worse because your hp potion won't be enough and doing your enduring cry will always leave you open for a good full second.

The list goes on for how badly it ruined this build.

Be fair mane, its not all of GGG but just the balancing pro team.

After playing gladiator till I realized that getting dual wield block capped is too much pain in the ass of an ivestment I am playing cleave zerker again, 87 right now, char name Berserker_degenerate.

I just realized how fucking perfectly pidgeon hole well designed Berserker is to play Mind over Matter with Pain Reaver and Warbringer.

The trick when playing hardcore is to not go for 10% degen but just 5%. Pain Reaver - Warbringer - Crave for Slaughter - Aspect of Carange is the way to go for melee builds I guess. Yea with totems you are sadly fucked XD.

I agree rage should stop on 1 HP. It makes berserker can be used with CI again.

For builds diversity, berserker should not be forbidden to be used with CI.

forbidden? if you dont go for vp or zo and also avoid no regen maps, ci berserker is actually pretty decent...
