Torchlight Infinite: Best Berserker DPS Build

When deciding how to play Torchlight Infinite you will need to be thinking of the different classes and characters to choose from. While all have advantages, some are better than others.

And one of the best ones to play nowadays is the Berserker class – and today I am here to share my favorite Berserker DPS build in Torchlight Infinite. I am sure you will instantly become a fan too!

I recommend this insane build for Rehan. He is the typical type of melee and in-your-face character that is most often seen in almost every hack-and-slash game.

He already has AoE skills that you will want to put best to use when among a lot of enemies. So sometimes, you will want to actually drag as many enemies as possible first. But let’s see what traits to work on first!

These are the traits I recommend focusing on

There are 5 traits that you should be focusing on when building my amazing DPS Berserker in Torchlight Infinite:

• Frenzy Furious
  • +3% chance to hit on a critical hit for every rage
  • At maximum rage, you will automatically go berserk.

• Anger
  • When you get hit whilst also berserk is active, burst will go off once (cooldown: 0.2 seconds)
  • +1 extra burst damage for every level

• Rampaging
  • Now, Burst has two slots for support skills.
  • When you beat an enemy, you’ll get three rage.
  • 3% damage protection per 20 rage

• Uncontrolled Anger
  • +40% more damage from attacks while berserk is on
  • 15% of your max life is lost every second whilst also berserk is on.
  • +50% more rage when berserk is active

• Boiling Anger
  • Getting a critical hit gives you 15 rage (cooldown: 0.3 seconds)

Best Gear to Equip

This is a certain type of gear set that you should be aiming for when playing with this build. This is what you will need to go for:

• Weapon 1 – Dangerous Dream

• Weapon 2 – Fire Lord’s Sin

• Ring 1 – Frozen Flame

• Ring 2 – Frostfire Ring

• Boots – Fallen Knight’s Footguard

• Belt – Quickness Belt

• Gloves – Ardour

• Necklace – Shooting Star

• Armor – Martyr’s Staff

• Helmet – Tide of the Styx

Now, if you can’t get the complete set of items, you can still do well – but try to tick as many of these items if you want your build to be perfect.

The Best Skill for our Berserker DPS Build

The whirlwind.

As for the build, go for fire conversion because it can let you ignore enemy resistances, which makes gearing easier. 

This lets you do the most damage and save the most time in the game, since you do not have to worry about enemy resistance.

In terms of the skill itself, whirlwind is fairly much a spin-to-win skill, even within other ARPGs. In this case, it’s clear what to do. 

Not only that, but you can also continue pushing while rotating at the same time. This makes the game run very smoothly and quickly, especially when you’re clearing maps.

It’s also great for people who are just starting out because it doesn’t depend on a plethora of mechanics to work. 

Everything you have to do is press down the Whirlwind button to begin destroying enemies on the way.

I hope that this guide has helped you out and made you a better overall Berserker. Have fun!
