Effective PvP Zerker?

[BanginCarAudio]

Is there one? My definition of effective is you can walk into and duel game on bnet and own -- unless there happens to be someone retardedly good there.

Any build can stomp a pub if you're using good equipment and are a half decent dueler.

Sure.

a tele-zerker is about as effective as a wwbarb in BvC. It's a totally different strategy though. You need to bait people into running so you can ignore thier blocking. You will 1-hit kill almost every non-barb, even pure vita cta using chars. You can go toe to toe with smiters if you are smart. Again, bait them into running (usually they will run towards you.) Characters that don't block are much easier. Then it becomes a game of who is the quickest teleport and attack. If you are good, you will likely get called a hacker, since people will not understand that berserk can kill in 1 hit.

What do you use on your pvp zerker? All gear, both vs casters/pallies/melee/pubs? :)

[akumaxxyz]

griefpb/phenoix is best
forget killing anything melee like smite/ww/fury with berzerk. the rest of the casters you can kill pretty much except dins too hard to get on blind spot

It also leaves you unable to use your skills for 0.6 sec. Yuck.

[The Cow King]

I'm pretty sure you can zerk / tele during the timer

where do you get this?

Since you probably won't use and act1 faith merc in pvp (if you do use a 2h death), use a grief phase blade for 9fpa. Versus smiters/dins use max damage charms. Try to get them to run at you so you can ignore block/defence and score a 1 hit kill.

Versus elements, absorb and 1 hit kill.

Regular wwsin is easy kill. Hybrids with mindblast and traps are much harder.

Use howl on necro and druid summons. Then 1 hit kill them after you show them you can teleport faster than they can.

The standard gear is in my guide in the barb forum.

No you can't.

Regular firestorm from torch has the same effect but lower duration.

@Damric: I disagree with most of that but thanks for info though :)

Actually, the torch firestorm is the firestorm used by Diablo, thats why it has such a longer distance than regular firestorm. Diablo's firestorm gives absolutely no timer, but the phoenix firestorm does, in fact, take away the skills for .6 sec.
