I kinda hope they go back and reevaluate every skill and rune combination. Frenzy used to be awesome and I miss it being that way.
It's like a bitter ending to a really serious relationship lol.
I'll give it a try once I start doing Paragon levels on MP and elites don't die in 5 seconds.
So I've been playing consistently with groups and found that Frenzy seems to really suck for groups. Everyone plays MP0 pre-60. Can't keep stacks up. I've switched to Bash w/ Punish and use HotA w/Smash. Combined with everything else its been a really awesome Dual Wield build. Anyone know if Frenzy gets better in Inferno with higher MP?
@Tequila, you know, I actually used to have Leap in my build along with Furious Charge. Was really, really mobile! I might use it again. What rune do you think fits Leap for a berzerker? Toppling Impact? Death from Above?
@Aldoran, I like the shouts, ALOT! Do you prefer a 2H weapon over two 1H? I go with dual weild and would like to hear (read?) more!
@vingor, not too worried about farming high MP right now. I think I'm going to just have fun until the itemization patch hits. Then gear out. I'm so torn about how to make this guy feel awesome! I could either go no Fury Spenders with the Berzerker Rage passive, or take the life regen runes from Frenzy and Rend to keep health up. I could go AoE Zerker with Seismic Slam and the Strength from Earth rune. Just not sure. What do you think?
A couple things that I know I want this build to revolve around also are these:
Frenzy ability
Axes
Single Target, but not be completely useless against large hordes
So, I'm leveling a new Barbarian right now and want to start gearing him to actually "feel" like a berzerker. I don't need this guy to be a super BiS Barb, I just want what's feels fun, 'cuz that's how I like to play mah D3. I don't use the AH and only use items that I craft or find on other characters.
My request is just some input: How would you build a barbarian to actually feel specialized in being a berzerker? If you would like to suggest abilities (w/ runes), gear affixes or comment on some ways that I might achieve this, please feel free!
My idea of a berzerker is as follows:
Somewhat low HP for a melee class, but higher evade/resist.
High crit chance and attack speed
Life regen, either through abilities or basic attacks (like a bloodthristy savage)
High mobility
A focus on single target damage
