[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 6873499, member: 6801226"] The funny thing about the berserker is that it is fine if you play strategically. Just remember the wording of frenzy is that "you can choose to go into a frenzy when you rage", so if you save you frenzy for the fight with the big bad, and use regular rage for the rest of the fights, you will be fine. You are just a main event player, letting the other guys shine in the prelims. As Exhibit A that this is how it is supposed to be, I will point to the berserker's retaliation subclass ability that also takes up the bonus action. If you used frenzy every fight, you would never be able to use retaliation. [Admittedly, if they had given retaliation at 3rd level and frenzy at 14th level, this would have been a) more clear, and b) more useful and elegant.] In a lot of ways, it is the martial version of a caster class. No one says wizard is a trap, because he/she can't cast their highest level spell every single fight. [/QUOTE]
