GREATSWORD BERSERKER (GUTS) - INSANE DAMAGE > PERFORATE OF BLOODSHED

You want to be a savage berserker, with a greatsword in your hands, spreading destruction and chaos on the battlefield? This build is for you. Tired of meta builds, abusing broken mechanics and unethically immortal? This is for you. Love Berserk and Guts? Guess what, this build is for you. This is no walk on the park, you have to be fast, you have to be furious, kill before get killed, strike fast and deadly!

This is a build that uses berserker’s war cries coupled with Perforate of Bloodshed, a new slam build introduced in 3.23. This build uses buffed exerted attacks, impale and bleeding. This is not finished yet, as I’m still trying new combinations to bring damage even higher. But as it is, it’s already BUTCHERING all non uber bosses in the game. Since I’m a poor skilled player, I never tried ubers with this build, but the normal content feels kinda ridiculous (except Maven puzzle on her last phase, that sh!t is &*#@)
