yea. good in valtan not in vykas. vykas > red dust > finish strike, sword storm and tempest when vykas is down u can use > red dust > strike wave and hell blade.
Watch Kanon's interview of Vini for a preview of the absolute best Mayhem rotation Lets you cast all skills on CD, while having all but one under Red Dust each cycle Basically this : 1) Red Dust > Strike Wave > Sword Storm > Finish Strike > Tempest Slash > Chain Sword > Hell Blade 2) Red Dust > Tempest Slash > Sword Storm > Finish Strike > ~6s downtime > Chain Sword > Strike Wave 3) Red Dust > Hell Blade > Sword Storm > Finish Strike > Tempest Slash Then back to 1) + Chain Sword > Dark Rush as filler About stats 750+ Swift then Max crit is recommended for T3 Mid+ (relic accs), this is because it provides 13% AS/MS, which with 15% from Mayhem, and 12% from Ancient Yearning (support) set that we will get with brel, lets you reach cap So basically, when buying your relic accessories, just get one Swift Earing, or Ring if you plan to build Swift on your bracelet (will provide an extra ~100)
Maybe its look stupid, but for chaos dungeon i run with Whirlwind spell with bleed rune. Just spin to win (same like in PvP island). No need to use extra other spells.
mayhem zerker main myself here (1480, full relic, 4x3). generally solid guide but i have a few things i do not agree with. it doesnt make sense to me that u recommend grudge to ppl for clown raid when yet it is never manditory for anything. u need 5x3 dmg engravings but u can easily skip grudge and go may,mt,kbw,rc and cd and u gonna be just fine there. on top of that u recommend such a risky playstyle with grudge which requires quite the skill to not die etc but u also recommend tenacity on finish strike? for chaos dungeon okay but for raids? that i cant get behind at all because with legendary galewind + 700 ish swift from relic accs + yearning set from supports, u should always go for enchanced strike tripod on FS since it is ur hardest hitting skill (not counting awa) and the longer cast time wont be as noticable with the buffs mentioned before. the tripod is kinda bad if u dont have lvls in it i do agree but getting a +3 on it isnt hard at all anymore and it boosts the dmg of the skill by an insane amount. also worth mentioning would be storm slash tripod instead of driving hit for TS. storm slash hits harder but it moves u a little bit forward and is a little slower aka a bit harder to hit than driving hit, so it comes down to personal preference i would say. anyway thats it, good luck and have fun :)
@@DaimonoZ no one runes RC over Grudge, if anything u run CD over Grudge. u always go for RC cause it has no downside. (in a 5x3 scenario) also the dmg intake from grudge is massive, as it makes us the second most squishiest class in the game. currently it might not matter and seem all ezpz but not for future content that we dont instantly overgear.
berzerkers can actually push out more dps with entropy set, but you become dependent on food buff and support to keep your mana up. even more so for bosses that jump around a lot and don't let you unload on them, since it can be difficult to force down the mana addiction, and entropy set lets you keep crit cap with more swiftness.

I have a video idea that might be very attractive for viewers. A lot of people are starting to play this game for the first time recently, have you considered making a "Late Start Begginers Guide."

Great guide right here GJ, i just wanna ask if having grudge and cursed doll has a better potential damage outcome than raid captain. I’m planning to try grudge curse-doll in vykas raid.
@@LostArkTips Hey :) What about Raid Captain and CD instead of Grudge and CD? (KBW,Mayhem, MT) Im just asking cause i dont like to play with Grudge without nice supports in grp... thanks in advance! (Thanks for the awesome guide
@@LostArkTips question: if i use both CD and Grudge AND the defensive card set, will i still be one shotted? does the defensive set balance the downsides? i would like a more "balanced" build. My alternative is to switch Grudge with Raid Captain (and go for a little bit more swiftness, around the 900 mark)
50/50 is better when you use entropy and ambush master its a weird set up but the damage is stupidly high, saintone is using this build atm its not a suggested build but it work
Yeah I run that, it’s like a 60/40 crit swift with entropy and 5x3 including mayhem,kbw,mastersT,ambush,and increase mass. Mass isn’t normally run but if you use chainsword and have enough swiftness you end up being capped at attack speed and almost capped at move speed with 135% so increase mass is super viable with this build letting you take advantage of blue pots for a full heal instead of needing purple pots with cursed doll
Zerkers have been ruined by the balance patch. Not only are they no longer S tier DPS, their survivability is the worst (unless you use WMA + FOG card set).
You shouldnt look to play S tier dps because anything that becomes s tier will get nerfed at some point to keep things balanced, just play a class because you have fun playing it and you won't be disappointed
Nah, you shouldnt run crit tripods on those for max DPS, but his rotation isnt ideal either, check out Kanon's interview of Vini (top 1KR) for the actual best one
The alternative way to run berserker is still S tier ambush master and entropy with 60/40 or 50/50 crit swift is really really strong but you have to position for back attacks, The problem with the normal zerker is everybody complains about it being squishy, if you run mayhem and grudge you end up with 25%health and 45%damage reduction giving you only 70% of your normal effective health, mayhem without grudge puts you at 90% effective health and is much more forgiving to newer zerker players
Not at all. Why the hell would you run those two when one of ur main dps skills has no back attack? Zerk also doesn’t have an east way to get behind bosses like martial artist classes. If you’re getting cruel fighter with that build it means ur teammates are terrible
@@msghia5252 most of the important abilities are back attack, aside from one. Also you can use shoulder charge or he’ll blade to reposition for back attacks aside from you dodge roll, when the boss attacks you dodge to his back it’s that simple… also this is a very viable build and is accepted in the community as good so your lone opinion on this is completely invalid against the mountains of people who say this is good. At the end of the day play what you want how you want and if you can’t position for back attacks this isn’t the build for you💯
@@PenguLord well the reason why it isn't recommended for zerker to use those engraving and entropy set is because zerker got a long animation cast time. A back attack class can get in 1 or 2 more skills while the zerker is just finishing one. Also you have to pre-view upcoming content and how those bosses rarely sit still. Running back attack with grudge and mayhem is actually playing the game on hard mode. I agree to play what you like but everyone should be get all information at hand before they invest heavily into a class and sets that cost them. Pheons not cheap :(
your rotation is wrong, u do red dust then strike wave 100% of the time, strike wave can give u easily 24 mil with each tick doing 6 mil late game, its by far the highest damage ability in berserker if done properly
You dont because then you loose DPS by loosing 33% Red Dust uptime since you end up delaying it You pair both 50% of the time, have a look at Kanon's interview of Vini (top 1KR) for a preview of the optimal Mayhem rotation
@@badassq8467 Yes, but he doesnt ALWAYS pair it with Red Dust because that'd be loosing DPS He does 3 combos that he cycles, only the first one has Strike Wave on Red Dust, did you even watched the video ? So you dont "Red Dust then Strike Wave 100% of the time" like you said, because that'd mean delyaing either Red Dust or Strike wave by 12s, which would lead to a much bigger loss
@@Jugement yeah but what i meant by 100% all the time was in regards to if u had all the cooldowns up, if not u can red dust and use other abilities, you will have time to do another red dust + strike wave combo
grudge should not be recommended for mayhem berserker. mayhem by itself has double the damage taken penalty that grudge gives and guides are telling people to take grudge on top of that. this is why berserker has a floor pov reputation. and not only that, berserker has t1 super armor on every skill except red dust. it means u actually do more damage without grudge by just facetanking mechanics with your super armor
Well grudge still the best damage boost you can have atm no matter what class u are playing grudge is good, i can understand that berserker have hp anxiety but playing with grudge is something that berserkers need to learn 😐
@@LostArkTips but thats not true. example: grudge berserker has no choice but to walk out of valtan whirlwind and wait for the mechanic to end.. or else he dies. a berserker without grudge can facetank that and continue dps. the extra squishyness that grudge puts on lowers the dps uptime more than the extra damage it gives
Typical mayhem players xd this is why insta decline any zerker applying to my raid lol. And BTW if u don't have grudge for kakul trust me u won't be able to find any static group :)
@@crownjun5930 you need 1-2 million dps across your entire 4 man group to kill clown before he enrages. if you need grudge to meet that dps check, you have other issues
Bruh ur on drugs if u think Berserker is doing the same damage as everyone else. Before the nerf zerker is S tier after the nerf zerker is A tier at best and could even consider B tier. FYI, I'm a 1485 zerker and the balance patch is stupid... how they nerf zerker and buff scrappers and soul fist to do billions of dmg... how is that balance lol.
Yeah berserker are not top dmg i can agree with u for that, but they still doing ok. The patch was a little rude for red dust but hey lets be honnest berserker was way too strong. Maybe in the future they will up berserker again i hope so for us
It was bound to get nerfed eventually, anything S tier gets nerfed eventually, look at surge deathblade or sorc, the new balance patch nerfed sorc again, wardancer got nerfed and so did soulfists, Brazil secret got a huuuge buff, if it stays, itll more than likely outdo mayhem while being tankier even if you run grudge. Rn the engravings and accessories are cheap, if you want to prep for future build, get them now while they're still low.
@@LostArkTips I definitely think it will get buffed next balance patch (in ~3 months) Its currently middle of the pack DPS wise in KR end game, while having the least EHP out of all classes and cluncky animation locks as melee even with maxed AS Inven zerk forum has been on fire since the nerf for that reason : risk aint worth the reward anymore So maybe not directly through dmg (could also rework animations or increase EHP), but i definitely think a buff / rework will happen soon
The damage numbers and synergies prove that zerker in its current state is the worst class in the game. You can have all the cope you want with "spend as much gold as you can and play perfectly to be 1/4 as good as any other class"
![INSANE BUILD SHADOWHUNTER DEMONIC IMPULSE UPDATED [LOST ARK]](/img/1.gif)
You'll do more damage with this rotation
Red Dust > Strike Wave > Finish Strike > Sword Storm
Chain Sword > Hell Blade > Tempest
rinse and repeat
yea. good in valtan not in vykas.
vykas > red dust > finish strike, sword storm and tempest
when vykas is down u can use > red dust > strike wave and hell blade.
Watch Kanon's interview of Vini for a preview of the absolute best Mayhem rotation
Lets you cast all skills on CD, while having all but one under Red Dust each cycle
Basically this :
1) Red Dust > Strike Wave > Sword Storm > Finish Strike > Tempest Slash > Chain Sword > Hell Blade
2) Red Dust > Tempest Slash > Sword Storm > Finish Strike > ~6s downtime > Chain Sword > Strike Wave
3) Red Dust > Hell Blade > Sword Storm > Finish Strike > Tempest Slash
Then back to 1) + Chain Sword > Dark Rush as filler
About stats 750+ Swift then Max crit is recommended for T3 Mid+ (relic accs), this is because it provides 13% AS/MS, which with 15% from Mayhem, and 12% from Ancient Yearning (support) set that we will get with brel, lets you reach cap
So basically, when buying your relic accessories, just get one Swift Earing, or Ring if you plan to build Swift on your bracelet (will provide an extra ~100)
great guide, the only thing i recommend is to have atleast 700 swiftness, the best stats for endgame are 1300-1500 crit , 800-900 swiftness.
Maybe its look stupid, but for chaos dungeon i run with Whirlwind spell with bleed rune. Just spin to win (same like in PvP island). No need to use extra other spells.
its not stupid at all i was using it for a moment whirilwind is actually very good skill in chaos dungeon 🙂
Same, for chaos i use whirlwind instead of strike wave, works pretty well
Yea I do the same thing.
thank you for the guide, just made a zerker yesterday and its t2 right now :)

Sure you can run RC over grudge but it IS a DPS loss. The damage intake difference of grudge honestly isn't that big a deal.

what engravings did you use books for? What is the best way to get to the other engravings?
i have a video for 5X3 engravings maybe it will help you
berzerkers can actually push out more dps with entropy set, but you become dependent on food buff and support to keep your mana up. even more so for bosses that jump around a lot and don't let you unload on them, since it can be difficult to force down the mana addiction, and entropy set lets you keep crit cap with more swiftness.
Can't you use BT with Mayhem, since they both support burst mode?
