Beserker Stats Build

[xangszane]

I absolutely love the Beserker class - however, I'm not entirely sure what stats to build on him. Strength is obviously an important stat on him - having a high base damage is very useful. Dexterity seems very important as well - having more crits and dodge is useful too. However, Dexterity is somewhat useless when you fill up the Rage bar, as it gives you 100% crits anyway. If you were to go raw STR and DEX, you'd be really squishy too. So Vitality seems good as well.

I know there isn't a set in stone stat build, but what have you guys found to be successful?

Well, it's about what you're comfortable with. But for me, Strength & Vitality are equally important so I make sure they are about as even as possible. Focus & Dexterity are secondary, but these stats are more important in Torchlight 2 than in Torchlight so it wouldn't be wise to overlook these stats.

It depends on many things. In Normal (sorry but I haven't tried the Berserker class in Veteran or Elite but surely things are quite different there!!) I used 2 for STR, 2 for DEX and the last point I alternated between Vitality and Focus (first levels on Vitality because of the still low mana cost of skills).

My Hunter Berserker relied in melee criticals (with Frenzy or not) for extra healing and I seemed to get them quite often (not bad for 14% critical chance out of Frenzy?). Once I got it running, healing potions used became rare.

My Shadow Berserker I was doing the same but planning for less Vitality as the healing was more guaranteed by Shadow Run, and Shadow Rush (with a good weapon and mana to support the skill) seems faster/funnier killer than anything the Hunter has. Probably I should had spend less points in Dexterity but when I started, I was not sure about playing pure Shadow or hybrid with Hunter (longer Frenzy, heal on Criticals, skill that heals while damaging...).
