Barbarian Berserker Feats Leveling Guide

Hello! This is a continuation of my previous post about Feats, Barbarian Feats Guide (Berserker) - Solo PvE/PvP. This guide will show you exactly how you should (IMO) spend your feat points as you are leveling. I will not be going too deeply into WHY I feel you should go this route, if you care to see my take on each feat in the tree, head on over to Barbarian Feats Guide (Berserker) - Solo PvE/PvP.

**This guide is for those who want to play Berserker, or 2H, all the way from 1-80.
**It is currently recomended to play Berserker to level 50, then respec to DW. For a guide on that, see: Barbarian Feats Leveling Guide (Berserker to 50, then Reaver)

For ease of finding specific info, I have broken it down into blocks of 5 levels.

  • Levels 10-14
    • 5 points into Blood Rage Stance
  • Levels 15-19
    • 5 points into Great Weapons Master
  • Levels 20-24
    • 1 point into Paralysis
    • 1 point into Staggering Punch
    • 3 points into Shock and Awe
  • Levels 25-29
    • 5 points into Reverse Swing
  • Levels 30-34
    • 1 point into No Escape
    • 1 point into Combo Earth Shatter
    • 3 points into Finishing Blow
  • Levels 35-39
    • 5 points into Atrocity
  • Levels 40-44
    • 3 points into Insanity
    • 2 points into Unstable Mind
  • Levels 45-49
    • Save 5 points
  • Levels 50-54
    • 5 points into Rampage
    • 5 points into Hammer and Anvil
  • Levels 55-59
    • 3 points into Scatter Foes
    • 2 points into Fearsome Agility
  • Levels 60-64
    • 5 points into Combo - Decapitation
  • Levels 65-69
    • 3 point into Fearsome Agility
  • Levels 70-74
    • 1 point into Thirst for Blood
  • Levels 75-80
    • This is up to you, lots of options.. doesn't matter much since you may be looking to respec now anyway :)
Hope this helps :) There may be a few issues, considering that some Feats have level requirements, but I'm pretty sure I took care of them all. If not, let me know!

Are you sure about all this? Your level ranges seem off, as don't you get two feat points at certain levels?

Putting this into the feat calculator,we get 2 feats at 20, 30, and 40.

For example, by the time you get to putting 3 points into shack and awe, you're level 23, not level 24., and 32nd level by 3 points in finishing blow, not 34.

Also, a lot of the talents LOOK like pvp only talents. Is there a lot of fearing going on by mobs that you need Insanity? Or is that because of the immunity you get from unstable mind, kind of like an oh-crap button?

Im a lowbie barbarian, and want to make sure I level fast, not necessarily go into pvp early on.. in a pve server. Would talents like grisly wounds be better than some of the pvp talents? Or perhaps stuff from general tree?

I'm not sure if you actually get 2 feat points at those levels or not. I've noticed a few quirks with the calc, including indicating required levels, which could be related to getting 2 points at certain levels. I'll certainly look into this a bit further and make adjustments if necessary :) Thanks for the tip.

As for Insanity, it's just a prereq for Unstable Mind. While these ARE PvP orientated feats, there's not much else you can put them in. And, if you play on a PvP server, it will be quite helpful. But no, I don't think I've encountered a mob yet that fears.

This is just an outline, definitely feel free to tweak it a bit and let me know what you come up with :)

Just wanted to chime in and say that this guide (and your blog) is proving indispensable as I enjoy leveling my Barbarian. Just hit 20 and looking forward to more advanced feats and combos :-).

Cheers

The POS 1st Boss in the Tomb instance off of the Field of the Dead drops fearbombs like they are going out of style... he also drains all mana and stam over and over. That instance is lvl50+ and is a sucker to do. *I would hope that Insanity feat helps, but it may be worse since even the tank gets feared... you will get the aggro and die a quick and painful death.

Anyway, the Feat calcs out there don't account for the EXTRA feat point every 10 levels... so the guides need to be reworked (they are still a nice starting/reference point, good work).
Located below are links to the few Feat calculators out there... seems like most prefer Goonheim's

- http://www.conankave.com/kave_calc/barbarian/kave_calc.php

- http://www.tentonhammer.com/aoc/feats?class_id=2

those are the ones I have seen, have fun and keep up the good work... see you on the AoC forums

Yeah, I need to take the extra points more into consideration. There hasn't been much mention of them and I'm not sure if its bugginess in the calc or the way it actually is. If the bonus points are there though, yeah I'll change it up a bit.

Nice info. I'm compiling a list of AoC leveling and class guides. I'll definitely add this info. I also plan on compiling some map resources as well. Thanks for the great info!
