Berserker

Berserkers are a sect of fighters who focuses more on brute strength and the direct approach instead of the complex combat maneuvers of the warriors. They are known to have a foul and uncontrollable temper, walking a thin line between sanity and insanity. At times, they are known to be overwhelmed by their temper and plunge into a frenzy of rage. While in this state, a berserker is known to inflict massive amount of damage on their opponent as well as being able to withstand incredible blows from others. There are times when a berserker may be overcome by panic when they cannot see. During this period the berserker may begin to land blows at frantic pace until his panic subsides. At midpoint of their career, the members of this guild choose a focus for their deadly rage thus becoming unstoppable juggernauts of fury, or more controlled zealots able to always calm their deadly anger only to call upon it once again when it serves them best. Late in their career they may choose a single weapon type to gain expertise in, thus becoming more skilled with it then mere common swordsman. Soon after their choice in Path Focus flowers into fruition and they gain further abilities dependent upon their earlier choices.

-Swing is no longer a passive skill, it is now an active AOE attack. Zerks will swing with one or both weapons (if dual wielding).

-All zerks now have ferocity (berserk spam for the win) 10-13-23

-Zerks have a new skill called rampage. Whenever you kill something you get a boost to damroll for a while and you heal based on the level of what you killed. Repeat kills always heal you but the damroll does not stack on new kills, though it does refresh the cooldown. 10-13-23
