This page is about the Ascendancy class. For the Ascendant passive, see Berserker (Ascendant passive).

The Berserker is an Ascendancy class for Marauders.

Overview

The Berserker is an offense oriented class that gears towards being in the heat of combat, with skills that offer unparalleled power at a downside. Berserkers can be built around Rage and make it even more powerful at the cost of life degen with Rite of Ruin, trade consistent critical strike chance for faster attacks with Blitz, or gain straight-up more damage for vulnerability with Aspect of Carnage. The class also offers bonuses to leech and warcries.
