Notes from DA's Build Guide
- Somewhere between a True Weapon Master and a Warlord, the Frenzied Berserker is a powerful melee build. It has similar damage but slightly less AB than a True Weapon Master whilst raging but benefits greatly from the powerful control capability of Terrifying Rage. Less AB than the Warlord, but better damage (and the Warlord does not have Terrifying Rage). Good for CTF and Open World PvP. Decent, as far as melee character go, for Shard Runs.
- This build is feat starved. You cannot achieve Cleave/Great Cleave/Overwhelming Critical/Devastating Critical without sacrificing Great Strength and losing both AB and Dev Crit DC.
- Your Barbarian DR does not stack with +7/10 on armor, therefore you are losing one of the best perks of being a Barbarian (since Arcane Archers pierce +7 DR, you will get your Barbarian DR against their arrows, however).
- Unless it was fixed recently, Barbarian Speed still does not stack with Haste (I tested this in-game about six months prior to this post from 2013).
- Gear: +12 STR/CON, +5 Armor/Natural/Deflection/Dodge, Haste, Fortitude, +7/10 DR, Discipline.
