Below, I have outlined some viable skill builds and glyph builds for the Berserker that I have found to have worked quite well. Keep in mind that this guide only covers a small aspect of the Berserker. If you want a Berserker guide to show you the perfect builds and how to completely max out your character in every way, I highly recommend the Argon's Guide.
As a Berserker in Tera Online, you will be able to unlock literally dozens of different heavy DPS skills as you progress throughout the levels, however you are only able to equip a limited number of abilities at one time. So, knowing which skills and glyphs to use in specific situations will enable you to completely dominate your competition if done right. The build that I will be exposing to you today is a PVE inspired build that I have developed after countless hours of research.
I will show you the skills that I chose plus two glyphs that you can use to compliment that particular skill with the pros and cons of each. Keep in mind that the skill build I created was designed around my own play style. Feel free to change or add new skills according to your liking. Thunder Strike is the Berserkers highest damaging single strike skill that you will be able to unlock. When activated, you will charge at the target and swing its weapon over your head and land about 4 meters in front of you.
Thunder Strike has power of 2743 (when fully charged), cost 100 mana per level of charge and has a cool down of 3 seconds.
Glyph of the Slick: This glyph will eliminate the movement speed reduction when the skill is being performed. A very good glyph to consider getting for PVE.
Glyph of Carving: This glyph will double the critical chance of this skill. This is also a really good glyph as you will be using Thunder Strike often as one of your primary abilities.
Vampiric Blow is an ability that is similar to Thunder Strike. It is another charged attack, however when you successfully hit an enemy, you will be able to get a good portion of your HP back. The percentage of HP that you will get back is usually 15% when Vampiric Blow successful lands. This ability is very useful when you are opting to solo instead of partying with peers. Its estimated power is roughly 700, cost 80 mana to activate and has a cool down of 15 seconds.
Glyph of Power: This glyph will increase the power of your Vampiric Blow by 25% for both its damage and healing capabilities. Important glyph to get for PVE when you are soloing against difficult monsters.
Staggering Strike is an extremely useful ability for interrupting BAM's skills. When activated, you will see a wide sweeping animation that will spin your enemies around and stun them for a brief period. When using this skill against a BAM, you will have a 75% chance of interrupting their abilities, so it is very useful in PVE.
Glyph of Energy: This glyph will decrease the cool down of Staggering Strike by 20%. This is a very important glyph to consider as Staggering Strike is crucial to spam when fighting against BAM's.
Fearsome Shout is an important utility skill that you must have ready when you are fighting lots of mobs at once. When activated, your character will give a AOE shout that will cause all targets within 7 meters of you to run in fear. This is a very nice skill to use if you are overwhelmed by lots of mobs or bosses. The time the enemies are feared will allow you time to either escape or charge up skills to use. It costs 175 mana to activate and has a cool down of 60 seconds.
Glyph of Powerlink: This glyph will increase the power of your next skill (which is Staggering Strike) by 25%. If you require more DPS from your character, this would be a good glyph to consider for PVE.
Bloodlust is a good overall boost to your Berserkers stats when fighting difficult monsters or bosses. When activated, you will receive an increase of strength by 26, impact by 50%, balance by 50% and 15% increase in damage when attack other players. This buff will last for 30 seconds. This skill costs 300 mana to activate and has a cool down of 180 seconds.
Glyph of Brilliance: This glyph decreases the mana consumption of Bloodlust from 300 to 150. This is glyph is rather important when you don't have a large mana pool. The 50% mana decrease will free up your MP for other spells or simply just to spam Bloodlust for the buffs.
Having the right crystal build for your Berserker in Tera is just as important as the right skills and glyphs. Below, I have outlined the crystals that I find to be the most effective for your weapon and armour in PVE situations.
WEAPON
Swift- Gives your character extra movement speed while in combat
Savage-When attacking mobs from the back, you will get bonus crit damage
Forceful- Gives strength buff on back critical
Slaying- Gives critical multiplier when you are below 50% HP
Carving- Increases your critical hit chance by x percent.
ARMOUR
Resolute- Reduces damage taken when you are below 50% HP
Warding- Receive 50% chance of shielding when knocked down
Relentless- Increases your maximum HP by X amount
Anarchic - Reduces damage taken from BAM monsters by X amount
Stalwart - Reduces damage taken from normal monsters by x amount
The builds above for the Tera Berserker should be used as a guideline. The reason I say this is because these builds are targeted towards my own personal preference, play style and of course builds are never set in stone. Builds for your Berserker will always change depending on the situation/scenario you are in and also differs depending on factors such as your own play style, equipment and hot keys. However, there is a way to know exactly what is the best build to use in every situation as an Berserker.
