The minimum and maximum damage range of Northern Rage is huge and impressive. The damage bonus from Frost Breath applies after your entire damage is calculated. The damage done by Frost Breath increases buff. Don’t let the wand(s) get stuck in your beard!

It can be a little difficult to get Permafrost to have its effect in the best manner possible, but it is nevertheless an excellent AoE skill that should really prove itself. Your main skills here are Frost Breath, Northern Rage, Permafrost and Glacial Shatter. You wouldn’t really need too much Vitality when you are in a more stable phase on the build, but you shouldn’t be surprised to see yourself putting in some points in the stat early on. For the requirements of the Berserker in general, we’ve also added a good amount of points in Strength, though Dexterity gets a larger priority because of the associated critical strike chance. The obvious source of damage comes from the Tundra skills, and also the strong investment in the Focus stat. You might struggle initially in the build, but it can later on become quite powerful – so powerful that you might even laugh at the site of a wand-wielding Berserker causing havoc. Funny as the class might seem with a wand, the Berserker is actually equipped with some really powerful ice-based skills in the Tundra tree. This is actually a caster build for the Berserker. No, you haven’t accidentally landed into the world of the Embermage to find out a Frost caster build.

It heals 10% of your max health and 60% when maxed. Shadow Burst is a short dash which stuns enemies, giving you enough time to either attack them, plan your moves, or at least to escape from there. This will ensure that you are doing 150% additional weapon damage to your enemies, and when this effect is combined with that of the bleed from Eviscerate, and the Shred Armor from the Shadow passives, it will do some serious damage in very little time. The main damage sources in this build are Eviscerate and Battle Rage, which combine brilliantly with your Strength, which is all the way at 300. Though this may not be the wisest approach in co-op games, it can be used during a solo run quite well. This is the most conventional way to play the Berserker – as a high damage dealing DPS character.
