Introduction
Savage. Unstoppable. The Berserker is the raging, Shape-shifting fighter without any fear. Based on a type of Viking that intoxicated themselves using mushrooms before battle to become fearless, the Berserker is able to shape-shift into a resilient bear or a swift wolf.

General Information
A ferocious and powerful attacker, the Berserker utilizes high-powered, high-speed attacks to eliminate anything standing in the way. He is able to wield and use any weapon to their maximum potential, with the exception of the skills related to these weapons, and is even able to wield two one-handed weapons at high ranks of Weapon Mastery. However, unlike the similar Warrior, the Berserker have a lower base armor (70) and should therefore refrain from tanking too much.

Dual Wielding
With a high Weapon Mastery (12), the Berserker is able to wield two one-handed weapons at once, allowing the Berserker to use 2 different prefixes and suffixes at once, such as vampiric and zealous, or bring two of the same, such as dual Vampiric for high life stealing. When using weapon specific attack skills when dual wielding, the right weapon will hit (in the event of wielding a sword and an axe), or simply one of the weapons (in case of wielding two axes/swords). For every point above 12 Weapon Mastery, the Berserker will have a 5% to dual strike, meaning hitting with both weapons in rapid succession. Dual Striking is not possible when using attack skills.

Bludgeon
The main weapon of the Berserker, the Bludgeon, is a one-handed blunt weapon, which, like the Hammer, is capable of knocking an opponent down, though with less ease than the Hammer. The main use for Bludgeons, however, is to inflict the much overlooked Cracked Armor condition, which is utilized by many Berserker skills.
