Overview

Unlike most other characters, they do not fight to achieve a heroic goal or defeat a loathsome villain. Those are mere excuses -- it is the thrill of combat that draws them. For the frenzied berserker, the insanity of battle is like an addictive drug -- they must constantly seek out more conflict to feed their craving for battle.

Notes:

• This can be a confusing enhancement line as each tier does similar, but slightly different things. Here is a breakdown of what you can expect when wielding a greataxe with the improved critical: slashing feat and using these enhancements:
  • With tier1, Raged and Frenzied: 19-20 x3 criticals, +2d6 bonus dice from frenzy, 1d3 self damage.
  • With tier2, Raged and Frenzied: 19-20 x4 criticals, +2d6 bonus dice from frenzy, 1d3 self damage.
  • With tier3, Raged and Double Frenzied: 19-20 x6 criticals, +6d6 bonus dice from double frenzy, 2d3 self damage.
    • Note the huge increase at tier 3, this is because tier 3 enhances both your rage and gives you an additional stacking frenzy clicky.
• Another example, using a falchion instead of a greataxe. Again with improved critical: slashing feat and using these enhancements:
  • With tier1, Raged and Frenzied: 15-20 x2 criticals, +2d6 bonus dice from frenzy, 1d3 self damage.
  • With tier2, Raged and Frenzied: 15-18 x2 criticals and 19-20 x3 criticals, +2d6 bonus dice from frenzy, 1d3 self damage.
  • With tier3, Raged and Double Frenzied: 15-18 x2 criticals and 19-20 x5 criticals, +6d6 bonus dice from double frenzy, 2d3 self damage.

Bugs

1. Frenzy Berserker multiplier increase does not work correctly. It works partially - base damage is multiplied. But burst damage on weapons is not correctly increased. Bugged and reported since: 2 weeks into Mod 9 beta release. Official Known Issue: No
2. Frenzy and Death Frenzy cause annoying flinch and scream animations on every single swing. Bugged and reported since: 2 weeks into Mod 9 beta release. Official Known Issue: No
3. Official description is very inaccurate. Official description leaves out important details like "only on a 19-20" and refers to incorrect terms such as "critical threat" instead of multiplier. Bugged and reported since: 2 weeks into Mod 9 beta release. Official Known Issue: No
