	- ~~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.		- Per a request, a stun-resistant variant of the [[Frenzied Berserker (Barbarian 15/Fighter 6/Weapon Master 19)\|Frenzied Berserker]]. Good for CTF and Open World PvP. Bad for duels. Not ideal for Shard Runs, but you're close enough to a True Weapon Master in damage output that you could get by against most enemies.

	- ~~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.		- -1 AB compared to the Frenzied Berserker, but a significant advantage in Fortitude. 58 Fortitude will ensure that the standard 61 DC stunner only has a 10% chance of stunning on you a successful hit (even if you are chain-stunned in group PvP, you will burn out a huge number of her Stunning Fists, crippling the stunner's ability to harm the rest of your team).

	- 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).		- Gear: +12 STR/CON, +5 Armor/Natural/Deflection/Dodge, Haste, Fortitude, +7/10 DR . Discipline and Saving Throws as needed.

	~~- 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.
