Why is Berserking crammed down barb’s throats so much? Anyone else out there want to make a viable build that does NOT berserk? No? Just me? Okay…
Do you want to make the Yoga barb instead? 
Yeah for sure. You can make a non-berserking barbarian. It’s more than enough to do the end game. The end game being that we create alts, ironwolf faction farm and secure our 6 stygian stones and the spark and then do it over again.
That is your end game, and the non-berserker will work just fine.

Maintenance buff. Barbarian is balance around having berserking up 100% of the time. You will be punish for not using the buff.

Core skill shouldnt even be call a core skill,it does nothing
I went whirlwind instead ds and I can’t maintain berserk only couple seconds. Then why do I need massive stats just have some up times.
Do you have cooldown reduction on any of your gear? whats your build exactly? It shouldnt be too hard to keep berserking up as WW. I’m running WW Dust devil, tripple shout, wotb and ground stomp. Marshal rune makes shouts help wotb and ground stomp cd’s. Ground stomp has the ability to help ultimate CD per targets hit. You can temper wotb cd into rings and neck.
Relentless Berserk aspect exist. It should help with keeping berserk uptime.
You need Relentless to refresh Berserking, high Lucky Hit, Berserk Duration Paragon and Temper, and WoTB for WW QoL.
If you could Shout, use Defensive Skills, Weapon Mastery, CoTA, and WoTB while Channeling Whirlwind, it would be an entirely different story and huge QoL improvement.
yeah that aspect too, i forget about it all the time since I no longer needed it but also very good option
Don’t forget Blood Rage and make sure to apply some form of bleed damage even if it is a trivial amount.
It is just dumb to have these “temporary powers” that you can easily have (and need to have) always active.
- Vulnerable
- Berserking
- Shouts
- Disobedience
Etc. Are all absolutely ridiculous. You are going to take Exploit probably and 1 other source so enemies are always Vulnerable. Why have something make enemies “Vulnerable for 4 seconds” when you can spam it or duration really does not matter all that much because you are going to 1-shot an enemy after making them vulnerable immediately after.
Berserking? JFC - having to take Wrath of the Berserker so the arbitrary 5 second Berserking cap is upped to 10 seconds? Great thing we have all of these things to increase Berserking Duration! It should come as no surprise that most builds use WoTB in some capacity almost strictly from a QoL standpoint.
Disobedience? Why the heck would you want to rely on Armor stacking and getting 1 shot relying on it to cover the gap? If you need a cheap source, take Juggernaut and eat the hit to Evade CD.
Shouts? Oh man. 6 seconds? Maybe like 7ish with 3 points? Lol. Have to stack so much CDR just to have the Skills be functional. These are such stupid Skills. When I can get them to be pretty much a 100% uptime, it feels great. When they fall off, uh oh, your build sort of breaks!

The run speed bonus is cool.
