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.

Combo Recommendations

Dragon Berserk can't function as part of a combo as it is a shapeshifting form

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely powerful in lower difficulty levels, especially with the Life Leech ability enhanced with "Steal Life" mod.
  • With the "Frenzy" modifications, hits can easily sustain the Dragon Berserk form. But even without them, so long as the Dragon Berserk remains in combat and able to land hits, he can sustain the form indefinitely.
  • The Community Patch significantly improves the offensive and defensive powers of the Dragon Berserk while granting him access to alchemy trophies, making the Dragon Berserk viable even in higher difficulties.

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.
  • No skills, equipment, or attributes affect the powers of the Dragon Berserk. Only the level of the CA will increase his power.
