AI Guides
This is a message for players of Path of Exile (PoE) who like to play as Berserkers, the fierce warriors fueled by rage! There are some important updates to how your Berserker gains rage and uses its power.
More Attack Speed with Rage: Now, every point of rage you have will make you attack a little bit faster. This replaces the old way where you gained rage more easily and had some bonuses that only worked when you had a lot of rage. You’ll still gain rage when you hit enemies in melee combat, but it works a little differently now.
Warcries More Powerful: Your warcries, which are powerful shouts that can buff you or damage enemies, can now affect twice as many attacks. This means they’ll be even more helpful in battle!
Smaller Changes: There are also a few smaller changes. Some Berserker skills that used to give you a small attack speed bonus now give you a slightly smaller bonus.
