Okay, so to start things off, I'm just a bit shy of level 5 berserker. That said, I feel I can hold my own pretty much with the class. I've learned that Crawlers are the bane of my existence, and how to kite and survive. Anyway, I've started to dedicate myself more to the role so that I can get my first level 6 perk.
My loadout is usually Lar/Katana/Axe, or Katana/Claymore/.44 mag. I've been favoring the traditional Lar build, but I've come into a bit of a problem. The Christmas Scrake..Yes, I know I can primary fire his face off with the katana and win, but I also know that I'm supposed to be able to stun him with the axe's secondary fire. The problem is, I can't find his bloody head?! I swing, he keeps walking, swing, swing, swing, I've tried aiming just to the left, to the right, and I still can't find it. Maybe it's just the Christmas model, but I'm pretty sure I've seen bersekers stun even that thing before.
That's problem one, problem two is the Fleshpound. With the Claymore, I can kite that sucker pretty easily. The range is nice on it and I just weave in and out. The axe? I'm not so good with. Seems like I just move way too slow and can only dodge half the hits he throws out. Not to mention, I hit him, back out, move in so he swings, back out, then hit again, but doing this sometimes causes him to rage even after he's taken a swing at me. What gives? I know he rages if you stay in his los for too long without him hitting, and if he takes too much damage, but he does it even after he's just swung most times.
Oh, and..the Patriarch
I want to try being able to kill him with my katana, seen it done, but I just can't do it. That dildo thing on his chest just rapes me, can't seem to dodge him at all!
So, help me be a better berserker!
Note: All these things are tested on the testmap 6 man HoE, but I've tried lower difficulties just to see if it's just the setting and it's not.
