Power Berserker Roaming Build

GW2. WvW Build. Power Berserker WvW Roaming Build. Warrior WvW. Small Scale WvW Build.

Role: Assassin

The Power Berserker is a glass cannon warrior build for WvW Roaming that has explosive bursts with the Axe and Mace but can be punishing to play alone due to it being easy to kite. With the Axe/Mace you have more sustained damage and survivability, but you are full melee which can be hard to secure kills on unless you land one of your CC skills. The Staff weapon helps to set up the burst combos of the Axe while also surviving in between them.

The Eternal Champion trait allows entering and leaving Berserk Mode to apply quickness, superspeed, stability, and physical damage immunity. At the cost of losing the ability to cast your Primal Bursts, you can leave berserk mode by recasting F2 strategically to gain the utility of mitigating a specific attack, improving your movement speed to catch up to a target, giving quickness to your burst combo, or stomping an enemy with stability. Since the Axe and Staff burst skills aren’t amazing, it is possible to leave berserk mode early most of the time to better time these benefits and to start the cooldown to get back into berserk mode sooner.

Basic Combo

• Staff 2 > 3 > 4 > Swap
• Mace 4 > Axe 2 > 3 > Enter Berserk F2 > F1
• Mace 5 > 4 > 111

If Staff 4 misses, your Axe combo will not reliably hit, you can use Bull’s Charge or enter Berserk Mode early and use the Staff Primal Burst F1 which immobilizes, then swap to your Axe combo.

The Shield Master trait also grants you the ability to reflect projectiles when you block, including when you have Aegis, so your Staff 3/5 and Sundering Leap will allow you to send projectiles back at your enemies to manage outnumbered situations more effectively.

Alternatives

• Weapon: Axe can replace Mace in the off hand for more damage but less CC
• Sigil:  for quickness on the pull which makes the combos much more fluid

Alternatives

• Utility: instead of Balanced Stance for more cleanse
• Utility: instead of Balanced Stance for more mitigation against heavy burst classes

Arms Variant (Replace Defense for more burst but less utility and survivability)
