Berserker and perk deck

[Sploo]

What would you guys reccommend using as a perk deck for the berserker skills, since you can't get health?

[Duende Tuneado]

Anarchist or armorer
Personaly i like to run hitman

[Piterros990]

Anarchist would work the best with Berserker.

muscle

Normaly you have 230 HP, Frenzy puts you at 30% max HP, which is 69 HP
With muscle you have 80% more HP, which means 414 HP. 30% of that is 124,2.
On top of that you heal 3% of your MAX HP every 5s, which is the 414 aka 12,42 HP/3s.

Now remember that aced frenzy gives you 25% less damage on both armor and HP.

Since i like to use MGs on my frenzy builds i need that panic, and with muscle you fight the biggest drawback of frenzy.

Unless you run joker for heals or want to stay near death at all times for true glass cannon, then bow to your new anarchist overlord

Armor and shall we say "non-health" builds tend to work best with Berserker builds since Frenzy slashes your max health down to 30%. So you want to survive by methods other than health. The tough thing is trying to get your health to drop even further (for a higher damage buff) without going down. Maniac seems to help with this due to its damage absorbtion.

Yeah but, you'll never take advantage of being at low HP for Beserker.

It's just cannibalizing Muscle tbh.

anarchist, with some extra skills you can get 270.4 armor with lw vest

Anarchist and Armorer would be the obvious answers, you have really high armor to tank hits and protect your uncomfortably low amount of health (which is even lower with Anarchist, to the point where you'll go down in 1 unarmored hit). That 2-second invuln period is a plus. Armorer is the budget option if you don't have UE, but Anarchist is the true armorgate meta deck if you're into that.

Hitman is similar to Anarchist and Armorer in that it will change how your armor works to make armor-based survival easier. Instead of 2 seconds of invulnerability, you get a full armor regeneration 1.5 seconds after the armor breaks, which is game-changing when timed properly.

Crook is pretty good IMO... on Mayhem and below. You get a pretty good amount of dodge, 136 armor with LBV, and Frenzerker damage reductions all in one nifty package for your survival-related needs. But it costs a lot of skillpoints for the full benefit and that 136 armor isn't worth anything on harder difficulties. I personally like Crookzerker because I mostly play with lower-level friends on Overkill and Mayhem. A better player could probably run Crookzerker in higher difficulties but I am not that player.

Avoid pure-dodge like Rogue or healing like Grinder. The former is too fragile to take advantage of Frenzerker (basically get 2-shot no matter what) and the latter reduces the damage bonus with its healing effects.
