Suggestions ? :)

I did not try it yet. Did just start up my game but will give it a go

Multistrike and the initial hit fix have made this feel incredible, especially with a Paradoxixa (I got an incredibly great one for 1 ex :D)

Been testing all the gem possibilities, and not sure if Multistrike is better when replacing Close Combat or Pulverise. Close Combat makes it feel smoother 'cus of the leap slam benefits it gives, but that Pulverise AoE though..

If anyone else has tested this and has done better testing, please do share!

Hyo.
In this reddit thread and video I covered this topic fairly thoroughly.

Hello Incredible

I have a question if you are willing to answer. I really enjoy bladestorm berserker. I bought some nice gear too. However, i really don't know what would be best gem setup. I read your guide, still i am a bit confused. I will link you my character, and can you tell me what to improve on (gems preferably?). I don't like carrying granite flask, it knocks back all my enemies :( And i would like a bit more AOE for clearing. Thank you so much in advance! I will post my character here.

Hy m8,
there are multiple recommendations I can give you.
If you do not like the Lion's roar swap it out for an Atziri's promise or a Taste of Hate. If you do this you need to swap brutality as well. Either for pulverise, ruthless or rage support.

Then, you are not using the impale nodes on the tree. Id suggest to either get them and change up the tree a bit or take out the impale support for either pulverise, ruthless or rage once again.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Thank you very much for the reply! I thought i was getting enough 'impale effect' from my dread banner, and impale support gem. So, impale nodes on passive tree are actually realy worth it??

Btw, i have another question. This is first time i have aquired some currency, so i can get some nice gear. I have great dps, however, my character feels really rippy. I fought Aziri, and she two shots me (Physical melee attacks, not the fire rings.) Minotaur straight oneshots me (again, just simple physical attack.) Any recommendations for survivability? i am so so happy with dps, but i am dying so much :(

Thank you again in advance! Have a good day sir.

I do not know your life pool but try to achieve a life pool of at least 6k. Aim for 6.5-7k.
You can put endurance charge on stun into your leap slam setup. Leap slam stuns all enemys at 100% health so you keep your charges up.
Atziri has 2% base reflect. You might oneshot yourself there and think she did it ^^ If it is too hard take out a support gem to deal less dmg :D
In the end dodging manually is the best way to survive. Do not stand in Minotaur aoe's :D

I'm farming fossil with another build, trying to get a fossil crafted +1 maim chest. However, the base that I got is armour based, and I'm not sure if it's better than carcass jack.

Any suggestions on the mods of the chest? (maim, crit, -mana cost, life) Which of those are necessary? How much crit chance is enough, and how much life is enough?

Heyho,
1. Maim, crit, -mana, life all are good stats of course. While the maim is a nice 15% more multi, life and crit seem more important to me. Since we run blitz charges we loose quite a bit of the crit chance and making up for that by getting better base crit should totally be worth it. -Mana is nice to have. Not more really. I mean if you tweek here and there you might get another herald up or something. Didn't do calculations on that.
2. You should have about 50% crit chance in your hideout without charges and stuff. Thats a good number to aim for that is achievable and works. Anything higher obviously is better.
3.Better than carcass jack? This is subjective. Carcass jack provides huge aoe since we do not have other sources of increased area of effect this scales multiplicative with brutality which is quite insane.
However Carcass Jack is not the best armour when it comes to tankyness or damage. More crit/maim would result in higher damage. Bigger life and phys taken as fire would result into better defence. However for quick clearing I would use the carcass and since the damage is pretty high already you gotta decide if you need more.
The Carcass is difficult to colour though. Without links expect ~2 ex. With links 8+.

Hope this is helpful to you,
have fun with the build
