GW2. Raid Build. Condition DPS Berserker. Warrior PvE 2023.
Last Update: Jan 2023
Overview
The Condition DPS Berserker is a warrior build that is great for fights where you need ranged or cleave damage due to its piercing projectiles and large AoE fields. It prioritizes landing Primal Bursts with the large amounts of adrenaline it gains from the Discipline traits.
Full DPS Variant
Playstyle
Role: DPS 
Headbutt to get maximum adrenaline at the start of the fight, but otherwise save it for CC.
Skill Priorities:
Use the longer duration condition skills in longbow then swap to sword to get the higher condition damage modifiers from Arms and Berserker traits while in that set. Prioritize using Primal Burst skills as well as Longbow 2/5 or Torch 5.
Use the Rage utilities, Torch skills, or Primal Bursts (categorized as Berserker skills) to trigger the King of Fires trait when you have a Fire Field to apply extra burning. You can gain these Fire Auras by using leap finishers like the Sword 2 or just passively by critting.
Only use the Blood Reckoning right after the Longbow burst because it uses less animation time than the Sword burst so you can use the second one immediately after.
All Rage skills extend the duration of Berserk Mode so try to use them as soon as you have time to. Staying in Berserk Mode is a huge DPS increase compared to not being in it.
Example Rotation:
Opener: Torch 5 >Sword 2 > Headbutt > F2 > Sword F1 > Swap
Berserk Mode:
- Longbow F1 > 2 > 5 > Shattering Blow > Outrage > Wild Blow > F1 > Blood Reckoning > F1 > Swap
- Sword F1 > Torch 4 > (Torch 5 if up) > Sword 2 > F1 > Swap
Keep swapping between the weapons to maximize the number of Primal Bursts while filling in the gaps between weapon swap/burst cooldowns with Rage/Fire Aura combos as well as the heavy hitting Longbow 2/5 and Torch 4 or Sword 3 (when target is below 50%).
