All day long are the rounds raging without frenzy. Minus the first round of such combats where you lose quite some damage. If you calculate the rounds where you waste damage because of overkill the berserker gets better. If you then remember that the most dangerous enemies may have AC 18 or so and those are the fights where you most likely frenzy, you will notice that despite doing 15% damage on AVERAGE your performance won't lack behind the polearm barbarian.So in the end, the polearm is a lot better versus low AC targets with high hp. The berserker should be good vs dragons or so. Fear aura, high AC. Enough reach to not let the polearm master not get the extra reaction attack. And last but not least, better athletic checks, saving throws and the versality to use any weapon. Most importantly a javelin that can be used before the polearm master closes to melee.If that is worth 5 damage on average ok. I think that is about the point where specializing should be. If you don't have advantage in your most favourable situations you did something wrong.</blockquote>
