[3.1] The Blinding Blizzard - Whispering Ice Berserker - Viable for Most Everything
" I've found the game crashes quite a lot if I use Spell Cascade. As much as I liked using it for clear, after removing it I haven't had any more problems. Luckily once you get your damage up high enough you don't need it. |

Berserker rip with next content update!
Time to find another ascendancy the next weeks while they reveal the others. |
|
" ? all of the ascendancies we need still appear to be present. ---------------------- Ah, never mind, I reread the new ones more carefully. Maybe it's back to Inquisitor... Last edited by Graiaule#7461 on Feb 15, 2018, 7:18:19 PM

So what do you guys think about the Berserker changes?
Will the build remain the same with this ascentancy? @Kelvynn Would love to see what the biggest icestorm lover has to say too :-) |

" I don't see anything that would say 'RIP' here:  No nerfs. Which is a bit surprising. GGG doesn't think Berserker is OP? Or maybe just not as OP as some other classes? OK. This class is getting a buff: the Rage. Although it's mostly a melee thing. For a caster this means +20% movement speed for trash clearing. Not bad, but nothing spectacular either. I like to switch classes every league anyway. The build itself doesn't get stale for me because there is always something new in each league (Uber Elder in 3.2! And whatever that Beastcrafting might bring). But I'm very hopeful for whatever changes the patch 3.2 may bring to Elementalist or Scion. If they buffed a class that was not lacking in power already, perhaps they will buff the classes that could use some buffing? Last edited by Kelvynn#6607 on Feb 15, 2018, 7:20:42 PM

0.2% of life per second lost when you have rage. So the Berserker CI build appears to be RIP (as I think, life is rounded down, so 99.8% of 1 life = 0 life.)

" Rip may be a bit to harsh but i guess u all missed the changes to pain reaver? We will need the leech gem for now if we want to stay with berserker |
|

Ooh. Damage -> Attack Damage in Pain Reaver. So Ice Storm isn't considered Attack Damage?
|
|
" Ofc not, icestorm is a spell. It's a comeback of the elementalist, isn't it?! :) |
|
" I doubt that it will bypass ES. Otherwise the whole class would be dead for any CI builds. A class that simply cannot do CI? No way. GGG wouldn't do that. Ohhh... I didn't notice that they added 'Attack' to Pain Reaver. OUCH! OK, then RIP Berserker :( Last edited by Kelvynn#6607 on Feb 15, 2018, 8:55:30 PM
