Berserker

General description

Berserker is a simple and straight forward class specialized in dealing huge bursts of damage in very little time, this coming at the cost of lacking in defensive abilities at low levels and a complete absence of more situationally useful abilities or varied options. This melee centric class counters this fact by using its sheer strength to break through most challenges, and, at higher levels, by to sustaining themselves off the damage they deal.

Unique mechanic(s)

Berserkers have abilities that allow them to stack physical damage boosts on top of themselves, allowing them kill enemies quickly enough to not even leave them a chance to counterattack.

Berserkers should focus mostly on their strength and intimidation stats, while still not forgetting their agility.
