GW2. Best Open World Build. Power Berserker Open World. Warrior PvE.
Last Update: September 2024
The Power Berserker for Open World is a traditional warrior build designed to hit things very hard and fast with a big weapon, because that is what defines the Berserker specialization. This build allows you to do so with two of the warrior’s biggest weapons: the Hammer and Greatsword.
You have access to tons of CC to lock down enemies from the Hammer which then generates quickness due to the Aggressive Onslaught trait. You can keep this up permanently for a very fast-paced playstyle. The Zakiros Relic allows you to heal when dealing damage so you can ignore any damage being dealt to you as long as you are healing more by dealing damage yourself.
Gain adrenaline quickly by using Wild Blow or Headbutt. Then immediately enter Berserk Mode (F2). Prioritize using your Primal Bursts (F1) while in Berserk Mode to deal damage, grant buffs, and extend the duration of your Berserk Mode further. Fill in the gaps with Rage utilities and hard hitting weapon combos.
Skill Rotation:
- Use Wild Blow and “For Great Justice!” whenever possible to maintain Fury for critical chance.
- Headbutt > Enter Berserk F2
- Hammer F1 > 2 > 5 > 2 > 4 > 3 > Swap
- Greatsword F1 > Blood Reckoning > F1 > 2 > 3 > Swap

The check this one: https://guildjen.com/celestial-berserker-open-world-build/
Thanks! sadly i already made full trailblazer for my warrior… :_) should have looked things up better…but i guess im gonna try this version with mace/shield…
LOVE this build! Been gone for a while and always enjoy Berserker and now my favorite open world build. Been using in the new rift events and easily rip the demon apart while providing some defiance break love to those around me during my Berserk.
Is it worth using gs now that is nerfed?
yes because what else would you use?
Can I use Marauder instead of berserker or is it nonsense?
Yes you can
I appreciate the thought & work that goes into these guides & video.
Props to Jen and Vallun.
Hey Jen, do you have any build with Axe/Shield and Mace/Axe? LOL weird isn’t it? that was my build years ago but fun to play. By the way do you accept new guildy? looking for more active guild for fractals and strikes
You can modify this build with the weapons you want. For open world should be fine.
This seems like a group of casuals attempting to validate each other ,/..-_-
Welcome to Guild Wars 2, the most casual friendly MMORPG in the market. Don’t worry I don’t need any validation, others will need mine tho 😀
The WoW players just called, they want their attitude back.
