GW2. Best Open World Build. Celestial Berserker. Warrior PvE.
Last Update: April 2024
This Berserkser build offers a good balance between self sustain, decent damage and quickness generation.
Build adrenaline and go Berserker mode (F2) to use your Primal Bursts (F1) and use your healing skill to refresh and use them again. You can open with Headbutt to build adrenaline but can also be used defensively with the Defy Pain trait.
Besides the Strength Banner you can build more Might using blast finishers like Longbow skill #3 on the fire field from Scorched Earth. Leap finishers will also give you Fire Aura that you can detonate by King of Fires trait.
Skill Rotation:
- Headbutt > F2
- Longbow F1 > Heal > F1 > 2 > 5 > 3 > 4 > F1 > 2 > Swap
- Sword F1 > 5 > 2 > 4 > 4 > F1 > Swap

Any ideas on rune and relic for this?
Build is updated now, mace and akeem
why use mace and akeem instead of sword and relic of fractal?
I was testing, I think mace with Akeem offers more damage but I reverted to Sword with fractal relic because its more fun to play 😀
Why akeem in PvE? It seems it only applies 4 stacks of confusion and you need 5 to trigger it?
You right, was an issue with the split balance for WvW, ty for letting me know its fixed now
Which relic can you recommend from those that can be bought at the auction? possibly craft? (I can’t find the one listed on tp) I’m a newbie and I just joined path of fire
Relic of the Krait maybe, not many good options
Would I be losing too much sustain with Viper’s or Trailblazer’s trinkets instead of Cele?
nope its fine that way too
