Follow on question... so Berserker it is for me for continued/consistent stun-lock... my follow on question is in reference to you Lvl 1-69 Berserker Passive tree... can you briefly go over (key nodes) I should be aiming for as I lvl up... don't want to take nodes that are geared for 50-65 lvls t say lvl 30 cause I went the wrong path. Bullet list of node sequence I should be hitting. Thx

The way you develop your tree should depend on your play-style and gearing. To give a general picture, if you look at all the passives nodes for the lvl 69 tree, there are 5 categories: damage, life, damage exclusive to maces, jewel sockets, and Resolute Technique. You should probably pick up Resolute Technique early on, and avoid mace related wheels and jewel sockets. To decide between a damage node and a life node, you should just ask yourself which one you need more at the time you allocate each point. It's very hard to go to the wrong path with our build because all we do is getting damage and life nodes... both of them are helpful at any stage of the game.

To give a sample path, I think you start with melee damage from the early levels(refund those points later), proceed to Butchery then pick up Resolute Technique. Then you can go straight from Warrior's Blood to Master of the Arena(refund +10 points along the route later) and pick up every single node in the Slayer area(besides jewel sockets if you don't have any jewels). You can pick up Revelry to solve your mana issues(also refund later). Then you just pick up the rest of the points, they are mostly life nodes. When you find a good rare mace that you can use for the rest of the story line, then pick up those mace-related damage nodes.

You can take all the mace nodes early on, but if you fail to find good maces but a bunch of really good swords/axes you will be sad.

I think i find my starter build here! Thank you for your detailed and organized guide.

Just one question, i never played sunder or heavy strike and i don't know how they perform in early leveling and early mapping, so for leveling and early mapping we only use sunder until we can get a 5L Tidebreaker, or is it possible to do all early leveling and early mapping with Heavy Strike?

Heavy Strike is only a viable choice for clearing after getting both threshold jewels and slayer splash. You should definitely use Sunder for leveling, even for boss fightsI. You should probably make your first Heavy Strike attack after you start mapping.

I want to play the Berserker version so i guess Heavy Strike is out of the question for clearing without Slayer splash? Is there any other good clearing skills beside Sunder? I'm not really fond of it.

Lets say I wanna go full physical damage. That means I wont need HoA and Hatred. Should I got Blashphemy + Vulnerability + arctic armour? or is there a better setup to go with?
