if you zone them successfully they have nothing except shot and axe slash to touch you

It depends on what class you are
but countering their their dash’s with grabs
and using area of effects to create longer closing times
blocks are more effective in general against them
And abusing their down time

If your dealing with gankers love pots and wind potions should be effective

im warrior aoe

I’ve played warrior a total of two times in my entire time on Arcane Odyssey, but I’m sure I can help you out a teeny weeny bit.

I feel like this first point I’ve noticed speaks for itself, I’d say it’s better to run only one AOE weapon at absolute maximum, but I understand where you’re coming from if, for say, you aren’t too confident in your own aim.

I play conjurer myself, and run Bronze Musket, Sunken Sword & Poison Tooth Dagger , and I’d argue this mixup of movement abilities alongside punishing tools is an exquisite counter for berserkers.

The only other recommendation I personally would have is running Triasta, Sunken Staff of Greenwish Cultist Staff (not too familiar with the stat differences) for a bigger more reliable projectile as an alternative to musket.

As for skill notes, completely up to preference, but as @iforgotmeword rightfully stated, have a grab to be able to counter moves such as crash and prevent followups from moves such as shockwave smashes.

  • Too little intensity to be used efficiently
  • Too little size for an “AoE Warrior”
  • Too little agility to make a difference to your movement
  • 1800HP is a bit low for 93 Power (and 1900/103 on the 2nd build)

Here’s what I’d do with your build to improve it, from what I’m seeing, you favour Agility & Attack Speed as your substats, so I’m going to try and build something around that rather than this “AoE Warrior” business you have going on. :pray:

does the build still work if you replace the blasteds with frozens/crystalline and use only insanity 1 ?

I feel like you’d have some problems on 61 Power, as you’d have to alter your playstyle quite a bit to accommodate lower damage , but I can try make some tweaks to make it a bit more similar to the build above, hopefully sacrificing attack speed instead of a primary stat.

I had to get a bit creative with this but I hope this does something. :sob:

aint agility useless rn

If you asked me this a couple days ago, I would’ve said yes, until I saw this in balcord.

Even so, at the end of the day I’m doing it for the OP’s satisfaction, if they want a stat, I’ll make a build for them with it. :man_shrugging:

bruh vetex forgor to list :skull:

Imma suprise you but try to stay away from berserk as they cant do anything to you when there is more than 10 meter distcane between you 2

run and fly

Use Maria’s flintlocks with rapid fire and multi shot
Multi shot is the equivalent of shotgun in this game
I recommend tempered plunderers

Who is out here needing to counter the four Berserker users ever?

i was using mostly fast attacks weapons before the update came out which was triasta, scimitars and claws, tho the little damage and the mediocre build i had wasnt rly of much use so i decided to switch to aoe

i have seen alot of warlords, warlock and berserkers lately with 300+ kills above

I think this setup still works in 1.17, albeit you might benefit from alot more power investment.

Zerker is in an absolutely horrible spot rn, jsut backdash and spam projectiles.
