GW2. Raid Build. Power Berserker. DPS Warrior PvE.
Last Update: December 2023
Overview
The Power Berserker is a DPS warrior build with sustained damage through adrenaline generation and the low cooldown of the axe Primal Burst, Decapitate. It gets heavy damage from staying in Berserk Mode, but this requires fluid skill rotations to upkeep or you lose Berserk Mode and lose your ability to dish out massive damage.
Playstyle
Role: Tank 
DPS 
You deal much more damage in berserk so always go into berserk mode when possible, UNLESS there will be downtime wasting its duration or with nothing to hit with Rage skills to extend its duration.
- Headbutt > Berserk F2 > Outrage (to stun break)
While in berserk mode, prioritize using the primal burst F1 when possible to do the most damage, then fill in the gaps with Rage utility skills to extend the duration of berserk mode and get adrenaline for your next F1 burst.
Skill Priority:
Swap between Greatsword and Axe/Axe depending on when your Blood Reckoning is available, since it is the only way to reset your Greatsword Primal Burst cooldown, making it worth to swap to. The general skill priority can be simplified to:
- F1 Burst
- Rage Utility
- Weapon Skill
When in Axe, alternate between using F1 and a combo that will get you enough adrenaline to use the next F1 since there is no cooldown on Axe Primal Burst if it lands.
Axe/Axe Priority (Essentially always use F1 when available)
- F1 Decapitate
- Headbutt + Outrage
- Wild Blow
- Axe 2 + 3
- Axe 4 + 3
- Axe 5
Use Axe 2 before swapping to Greatsword to have enough adrenaline to instantly Arc Divider. Then Blood Reckoning and repeat. Fill in the gap before your final Arc Divider with Greatsword 2 until you can swap weapons.
Greatsword Priority (Essentially always use F1 when available)
- F1 Arc Divider
- Blood Reckoning
- Headbutt + Outrage
- Wild Blow
- Greatsword 2
- Greatsword 3/4
