Berserker
“No matter the number of opponents, damage is the most important. Taking down my foes is my priority, regardless of my own health. Defending comes second... My weapon comes first.”
“No matter the number of opponents, damage is the most important. Taking down my foes is my priority, regardless of my own health. Defending comes second... My weapon comes first.”
The Berserker School focuses on dealing as much damage as possible and as often as possible. Typically, they will sacrifice their defensive capabilities to enhance their attacking.
The Berserker specializes in sustaining themselves while carrying out constant aggression and fighting many foes at once, giving a new meaning to "The Most Effective Defense is a More Powerful Offense."

Passives
The Berserker receives the following passive effects:
Initiate - Primeval Might
The Berserker is an unstoppable force, channelling primal raw strength behind their every action. The Berserker can choose between one of two status effects, that are always active:
- Immovable Object: The Berserker is immune to non self-inflicted Disadvantage on Defense, Knockback, and Rough Terrain
- This gives Advantage on Attack for 2 rounds, stacking up to 2 times.
- This can only be stacked once per attack or ability and is applied afterwards.
- If The Berserker has two stacks and is already receiving Advantage on Attack from another source, they deal an additional Minor Wound on hit for each additional stack of Advantage on Attack they have over the cap.
