What berzerker path to choose?

Can anyone give me some advice in choosing a berzerker path? I'm not a complete newbie, but I'm not great either. Any help?

Well:

PATH FOCUS

As the berserker comes to power in his or her guild, they are required to

choose a path of focus for their deadly arts of rage and further hone their

anger towards a certain style. Three paths are avaliable, and unless chosen,

the berserker will remain only capable of producing the bland, unfocused

rage he has used since his birth. The following paths are possible:

path of anger

path of fury

path of devastation

You may gain further help for each skill.

RAGE FOCUS

As the berserker rises in power and begins to focus upon his chosen

path, they gain an additional ability reflected by their choices from

path focus.

path focus rage focus

anger skull crusher

fury powergrip

devastation bloodhaze

You may gain further help for each skill.

Basicaly you path focus will determine you skill selection, from the above list.

Suicidal Ogres are specialy suited for Devastation Path.

And i recall someone saying that Anger Path was the mage killer.

Try to read eatch special skill help, since they hit at something sometimes.

It seems that Path of Fury is not used much, does it suck?

I think os, but i never played a berserker to 50.

Anyhow check this thread on the polls section about this.

Basically, Anger is the weakest of the rages in terms of bonuses when raged but you can relax in combat. Fury is stronger, however you can't relax in combat, only out of combat. Devastation is the strongest, however, don't even bother practicing relax because there's no point.

There are the rage focus skills too, those are in the help files.

I think for a good few race/zerker combos, that a lot of people say Anger is the way to go, but in my opinion just play the one that sounds most appealing to you.

If a minotaur, I would suggest fury...doublegripping an axe and dual wielding another axe is just priceless.

Is that possible? Although minotaurs can use two-handed in one hand, double grip takes a one-handed weapon and allows you to hold it with two, correct? Dual wielding would require a third hand.. :confused:

Dey

yea it's possible. With my mino zerker, I doublegripped the master forgeman hammer and dual wielded another master forgeman hammer. Asked the imms if it's a bug and they said it isn't.

Ouch.

Dey

I don't get it, how does your character hold on to the other weapon if both your hands are occupied?

It's powergrip, not double grip.

Squeezing REALLY hard?

Sure seems that way to me.

I don't know if I can/can't say this. But from my expirements they all grant same bonuses to hit/dam, but they last different amounts of time. If this is taboo please, RAARGANT, sacrifice this post to the red marker of doom.

Minotaurs can dual wield ANY two axes. That means two two handers. I have had Ludans battle axe/bloody cleaver of vigo. Thats a mino perk.

Yea, emp_newb, I wasn't getting at that. Minotaurs can wield any two axes (even two handed axes). When goomf said he double-gripped an axe (Double-grip is gripping a weapon with two hands) and dual-wielded another, that technically means you'd need three hands.

Dey

or tie them both together, end to end... like pugiling a double ended axe.. haha

or with big enough hands can just hold them like that.

Hrmm. Didn't know that. I thought fury granted better bonuses than anger, and devastation better than fury. If that is the case, it makes devastation/fury seem slightly less appealing...

Dey

He's not double-gripping it, he's powergripping it.

Yea, I was posting in response to the double-gripping question.

Dey

EDIT: And powergrip is a natural extension of double-grip, according to the help files. Still holding it with two hands...
