Berserker Levelling and Starting Point

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion

Hey all,

I am not writring often here but now with FoA I thought I start a thread about FoA and the Berserker class.

I started now on HC and Veteran and started with Onslaught which was kinda meh, later then I switch to Wereraven which is kinda fund to play and I sticked now to the cold version.

Has anyone already found out a good strategy for levelling the firs 10, 20 levels with Berserker?

Haven’t yet tested Werewolf as starting skill.

But now I am heading to Twin Falls and it’s fun! :slight_smile:

Werewolf goes absolutely BRRRR(awr) for me. Decent AoE, lots of mobility, innate lifesteal. Facetanking lots of stuff on veteran, some of which I was surprised to be able to facetank. Definitely not HC viable with my playstyle, but solid overall

I’ve been dual-wielding two Barrog’s Bloody Arms from the beginning, putting Implements of War at 18/12, and getting as much bleeding bonuses as I can find. I’m still only near the end of the first act, but so far it’s been a cakewalk… and it’s only level 5 weapons lol

Not sure what I’ll do for a second mastery yet though. My plan was to focus on pierce damage instead since it gets lots of support from easily farmable equips and see where it goes from there.

Yes, I saw Paikis video yesterday and it looks like Werewolf is the way to go especially with his movement skill :smiley:

The biggest issue so far with Wereraven is the energy… consuming like crazy…

Yeah that is my experience too

Werewolf
pros - free extra movement skill
cons - not great AoE

Wereraven
pros - great AoE
cons - energy consumption blah, and berserker has no spirit

I’m at lvl 62 with Primalist, cold were raven the whole way. Focus on spirit with augments and constellations and it should hold up just fine. Up to between +3 and +7 over max on the 3 were raven skills, 50k dps tooltip now on ice talons right now and it’s just annihilating everything as I mow through the new content.

I went from this to the bloodreaper’s set, which has been carrying just as hard

In the end I respec’d to pierce damage during Act 2, bleed started feeling pretty useless in those harder undead areas. And once you reach Homestead and get a couple of Dermapteran Slicers, oh boy…
