[2019] Kinda wish they'd just ditch the rage mechanic and give the Zerker something else.

And by that I mostly mean more cool warcry sh*t. So, uh, warcry (and a few other) ideas!

Piercing Cry

• Stun nearby enemies for 0.5 seconds when you use a Warcry

• 50% increased Warcry buff effect duration

• 10% increased Warcry Cooldown Recovery Speed

Terrifying Presence

• Enemies affected by your Warcry are intimidated

• 25% increased Warcry buff effect

• 20% increased Area of Effect

• 10% increased Warcry Cooldown Recovery Speed

Rip and Tear

• Attacks which Impale enemies also cause them to bleed

• 20% chance to Impale enemies on hit with attacks

• Bleeding enemies take 10% increased damage

Crave the Slaughter

• Destroy corpses of enemies you kill

• +2 to Melee Weapon and Unarmed attack range

• 10% increased attack speed

• +25 Life gained on Kill

Aspect of Carnage

• Deal no Elemental Damage

• 10% more damage

• You have Onslaught

I know some other ascendancies also use some of those mechanics, but there's nothing that says a given mechanic has to be the sole domain of a given ascendancy. For example, both Hiero and Chieftain get totem bonuses. I see no reason why Berserker shouldn't be able to impale, cause bleed or get onslaught; those all seem very Berserker-y things to do.

Also like virtually all posts of this nature I didn't spent too long thinking about the numbers, these are more just ideas of things I'd like to see the Berserker be able to do.
