Berserker Class
The Berserker class on The Heroes' Journey (THJ) features several unique adjustments compared to Live servers. With expanded skill access, enhanced damage abilities, and custom mechanics, Berserkers are powerful melee damage dealers. This guide covers key differences, auto-granted AAs, skill progression, and combat disciplines.
Berserkers on THJ benefit from expanded skill availability, powerful auto-granted AAs, and finely tuned melee disciplines. Mastering these changes allows players to optimize damage output, survivability, and group support for maximum effectiveness.
