The Latest Berserker Build in Lost Ark
The Berserker class comes from the warrior archetype that uses a two-handed greatsword to annihilate their foes in battle. They are one of the most sought-after classes ever since the release of the western version of the game. The play style is beginner-friendly, and the skill rotation is pretty simple yet effective. These high burst skills are paired with decent mobility that lets you control the battlefield. I'll help you build your berserker to the end game in this guide.
Mayhem VS Berserker's TechniqueIn every class in the game, there are two viable builds. As for the zerks, you can play as Mayhem or Berserker's Technique. Both are excellent on their own term, and selecting between the two builds depends on your preferences. But first, let's list down their class engravings:
Mayhem: Fury Meter remains at max and turns into Burst Mode with the power of darkness. It provides 16% Atk. Power and 15% Movement Speed, and all incoming damage are reduced to -65%. However, when Burst Mode is activated, your HP is reduced to 25% Max HP can only receive 40% of healing and 25% shield.Berserker's Technique: During Burst Mode, Crit Damage +70%. Negates Exhaustion after Burst ends. Note: Due to the recent balancing of western Lost Ark., Berserker's Technique now provide a +32% damage increase. I have two berserker alternate characters at 1460, and here is what I got to say. Mayhem berserkers provide constant damage and have high mobility compared to Berserker's Technique. However, opting for Mayhem Berserker is a double-edged sword. Why? It's simply sacrificing most of your survivability just to have constant burst mode uptime. While Berserker's Technique offers less benefit, this build provides higher burst damage than the Mayhem build if you can hit most of your shots. Berserker's Technique Build usually involves proper decision-making and skill accuracy. This is because you must fill up your Fury Meter to initiate Burst Mode. In short, Mayhem Berserkers don't have to worry about building their Burst Mode and can head straight to battle. However, Berserker's Technique has one of the worst DPS down time due to the high cooldown.
Skill Build for Mayhem Berserker in Lost ArkMayhem Berserker has a simple game style, and you just need to master landing your skills most of the time.

Note: As you can see, you will need a lot of Galewind Runes that are available on Guardian Raid and other horizontal contents. This is because most of the berserker’s skills involve skill lock animation. Awakening SkillThis skill is considered as ultimate ability in other MMORPGs. This build has two choices:
Berserk Fury: This skill hits hard, but you need to channel it for two seconds before releasing it.
Chain of Vengeance: This instant-cast skill is highly recommended for beginners.
Ideally, you will choose Berserk Fury over Chain of Vengeance, but some berserkers prefer the latter. This is because they can instantly get nightmare set buff when casting this skill and give them a small burst window before any boss patterns. However, experienced berserkers use berserk fury since it provides DPS equivalent to two DPS skill rotations.
