I am guessing a few of you may have read the other Epic Build I documented called the Blood Thirster. He depends on Duel and Bloodlust to really shine. He feeds on doing damage, causing him to do more and more damage until everything is dead. This build requires neither, instead he uses Rage and Flurry so succeed.
I thought I'd show a different take on the 2 Handed Style by introducing the Final Incarnation of the Berzerker. Just like the Blood Thirster, he depends on mostly Advanced Skills, but the choices are very different. This character will instantly turn into a death machine at will. Just press the Rage then Flurry and you've got a 117 DPS monster. This build can obtain 195 point critical hits without counting Fury 3, which adds 65% MORE damage when under 188HP.
With this build you'll need:
6+ Strength (should be 8 plus the +2 belt)
6 Agility
4 Endurance
1 Intellect
1 Awareness
Two-Handed Expert 3
Cleave 1
Fury 3
Flurry 3
Precision Strikes 3
Massive Criticals 3
Heavy Hand 3
Battle Rage 3
This build has flexibility, as I didn't allocate 4 skill points for you to use for Death Ward, Spiritual Ward, any of the basic skills, or whatever you want. I would go with Death Ward 1, Spiritual Ward 1, and Resilience, but it's up to you.
Weapons(you need all 3 to be effective):
Cruelty (for trolls)
Executioner's Axe (for undead)
Great Axe of Falling Stars (for everything else)
Also, since this build doesn't have a lot of armor, get the best equipment you can. Myrosian Plate, or Legion Armor is the best to have, however full plate will do.
I tested this build in the Trollfens, and it did considerably better, although both were equally fun to play.
This image is him maxed out with Fury. Max crit is over 300 damage...
