Bannerslave Berserker Guide

General Information

Welcome to our Bannerslave Berserker Guide for Guildwars 2. Here you will learn everything you need to know about playing a Bannerslave Berserker in a raid environment.

1. Strengths

• Reliable breakbar damage on a short duration cooldown (Headbutt).
• Can obtain more breakbar damage while giving up a small amount of personal damage ( -> ).
• Provides 3 of the strongest unique damage buffs in the game – Empower Allies, Banner of Strength and Banner of Discipline.
• Extremely high personal damage for a support spec.
• Can hit targets far away with properly placed .
• Gains additional DPS against large hitbox targets.

2. Weaknesses

• Relies on high alacrity uptime to properly execute the rotation.

3. Current Viability

The November 7th Balance Patch introduced Druid as the new source of 10-man Might, allowing Warrior’s to disregard gear and food choices selected to provide might and focus completely on DPS while providing 10-man Banners and 5-man to the raid. This build deals roughly the same DPS as pre-patch CPS, but without Grace of the Land as additional buff.
