Berserks are the primary and most primal manifestation of a [[Barbarian]]'s [[Inner Fire]]. By releasing the rage that lurks in their hearts, Barbarians are able to continue fighting long past where others would drop from exhaustion or wounds. But, like all things, it comes with a price.


Berserks no longer have the knock down, stun, or death results when they end (some restrictions apply), and have had their restrictions on vision and movement removed.
==Starting Berserks==
Blood- 2nd circle, learnable from any guildleader. Boosts offensive combat.
Stone- 5th circle, learnable from any guildleader. Boosts defensive combat.


When berserks are activated, they consume a large of Inner Fire, and further have a small drain while they are active. While it is possible to have multiple Berserks going, the cost will make it impractical without a steady stream of victims.
==Benefits==
* According to GMs, many provide an amount of damage reduction, though no method to test the amount provided by each has been formulated.
* Compared to [[Barbarian Dance|Dances]], Berserks provide a much smaller boost to a greater number of skills.


Berserks may break the effects of a meditation, and they cannot be started while Berserking.
==Penalties==
* The first and most problematic of the penalties is that, when under the affects of a Berserk, the world becomes blurry behind a curtain of blood red, with only your enemies being important enough to note:
: ''Your world is a crimson haze. Shapes and figures loom out of the bloody fog as you seek your next kill.''
:: NOTE: There is a bug which allows you to look normally if you ''>look other'' I have bugged this many times, but they don't seem to have fixed it yet, not that I'm complaining.
* The second penalty is that with the exception of Nightmare, Cyclone, and Grave, Berserks do not allow {{com|retreat}}ing or {{com|flee}}ing.
* Finally, although the various berserks provide a boost to one or several stats, they all decrease Intelligence and Wisdom for the duration, they do NOT decrease the rate of learning.


BERSERK LIST - Recall all known berserker rages you can perform.
==Ending Berserks==


BERSERK <ability> - Throw yourself into the specified frenzy.
''Feeling barely fazed by your mad rage, you glance around for another enemy to kill.''<br />
*Best way to end it. You come out with 75% health and 75% fatigue.<br />
*Can happen 100% of the time if you've been in continuous combat during the berserk, and had full inner fire before entering.<br />


BERSERK STOP - Attempts to end all active berserks.
''Blood-red vision fades, along with your frenzied rage, leaving you gasping for breath.''<br />
''You crumple from exhaustion!''<br />
*Not a good way to end it. You come out with 75% health and 50% fatigue. At least you aren't stunnned!<br />
*Most often happens after starting a simpler berserk with near empty fire.<br />


''The crazed strength that has been sustaining you suddenly wavers, leaving you feeling drained and weak.''<br />
''You collapse from fatigue!''<br />
*A bad way to end it. You come out at 75% health and 25% fatigue, often accompanied with a stun lasting less than a minute.<br />
*Tends to happen when you don't let your inner fire recover before entering a more advanced berserk.<br />


{| border="1" cellpadding="4" class="sortable"
''You feel the frothing rage subside, and as if stepping out of a crimson fog, the world around you emerges with vivid clarity.''<br />
''You collapse from fatigue!''<br />
*Apart from dying, this is the worst way to end it. You come out completely exhausted and with a nasty stun lasting a couple minutes or more.<br />
*Often happens when stacking multiple berserks.<br />
