[QUOTE="JerichoPenumbra, post: 9465984, member: 7037007"] Yes, but remember the Metal Skin feature from Bronze Protector reduces damage other than Electric and Psychic based on the level of the spell slot used before Resistances are applied. So the reduction of damage is in effect doubled thanks to Resistance (as long as it fits the conditions). Then Adamantine Protector (the next feat in the line) provides potential bonus duration by making the effect last 10 minutes with a 4th level spell slot and 1 hour if you use a 5th level or higher slot. While under Metal Skin after taking Adamantine Protector and using at least a 3rd level spell slot you then gain proficiency with and use at-will the Hurl Ally maneuver while also being treated at one size larger for it. Hurl Ally is a bonus action toss an ally in reach 20ft to melee an enemy to attack them at the cost the ally's reaction. Said enemy then has to make a Dex save or that attack is a Critical Hit. So if you want to focus on short term gains with smaller spell slots and only focus on getting BPS Resistances, then yeah, sure, take levels in Berserker for the build (or just be a pure Berserker for that matter). But go the way I suggested, you can have a way to have the BPS Resistances for multiple hours instead of multiple minutes, and be a battle platform to chuck your allies into potentially doing crits every round. Doesn't have to be Cleric (again just suggested it for flavor) but it works with any full caster. Understand that for such a build, while you can play as a typical battle caster with some martial might, it would be more suited to playing as a defender/controller role using your spell slots to fuel greater martial might.
