Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

  • Stamina will lower regeneration time
  • No attributes increase the damage or otherwise affect the Dragon Berserk


Usage Strategies

Suggested modifications are "Fury," "Steal Life," and "Blood Frenzy." These will increase his offensive powers massively. The other modifications all work to increase the duration - they are unneccessary as hits already make the form last longer even without mods. Landing hits faster, harder, and more reliably is more important.

In Bronze and Silver, the Dragon Berserk can go toe-to-toe with most bosses and be used as a boss-slayer due to high life steal and offensive power.

In this form the Dragon Mage's normal combat arts are replaced with special new ones, though he can still use his Divine Gift while in Berserk form.

Needless to say the Dragon Berserk cannot ride a Horse or Draconicon. The Dragon Mage will automatically dismount to shapeshift and cannot re-mount until changing back.

  • Extremely powerful in lower difficulty levels, especially with the Life Leech ability enhanced with "Steal Life" mod.

Cons

  • A player cannot open containers, talk to NPCs or use mounts, merchants, smiths or runemasters while in this form. He also cannot manage his inventory, CA's or combos.
  • Without the Community Patch, the Dragon Berserk suffers significantly in offensive and defensive capability in Platinum and Niobium.
