Build Overview

An up-to-date snapshot of my current Earthshatter Berserker.

Earthshatter Berserker is an excellent League starter, arguably the best.

Gearing is very straightforward and easy - try to get a high-PDPS Vaal Axe / Karui Chopper and gear with armor and resistances. Make sure your Viridian Jewel has mana leech.

This build revolves around empowering your Earthshatter with warcries and their effects, making use of Autoexertion and Overexertion Support.

Mana cost is solved by crafting the “Non-Channeling Skills have -# to Total Mana Cost” modifier. Before that, using a mana flask is perfectly fine if you need it.

Unwavering Stance is used for stun immunity and has almost no downside, since we mainly use armour items.

Resolute Technique lets us ignore accuracy and is very cost-effective thanks to our pathing.

Our defensive layers consist of armour, life leech fromBlood Rage, Fortify from the Fortify Mastery, Endurance Charges from Enduring Cry and Disciple of the Unyielding. Molten Shell, Blood and Sand, high maximum resistances from the passive tree, Defy Pain from our ascendancy and arguably corpse destruction from the Axe Mastery.

We anoint Hatchet Master, it's affordable and a great way to improve our map clear speed.
