Berserker (Origins)

Berserker is one of the specializations available for the warrior class in Dragon Age: Origins. It provides minor strength and health bonuses and four potential talents.

Oghren will teach this specialization if his approval rating is high enough. Alternatively, there is a manual available from Gorim Saelac's initial stock in Denerim Market District for .

Berserker talents are complemented well by those gained from the Templar specialization. Berserkers can easily fall victim to magical spells such as Vulnerability Hex, which require a large mental resistance to withstand. With the Mental Fortress ability, it is possible to shrug off many of these attacks. Add in Righteous Strike and Cleanse Area, and this specialization gives the Berserker a much better chance of dealing heavy damage to a mage.
Acquiring Reaver as a second specialization allows the Berserker to deal heavy damage while using the sustained Aura of Pain and Blood Frenzy talents, and then finish the attack, when their health has dropped to near-zero, with the potentially devastating Final Blow.
Pairs extremely well with Champion in a dual-wielding dexterity dagger build. The Defense stat is proportionally better the more you have, and Champion's Rally gives +10 to defense alongside War Cry's -10 to enemy attack to further boost the defense gained by dexterity, potentially ending in a character that is unhittable. The +8 damage per attack of Berserk is most impactful with a build that attacks fast.
