Notes
This build relies on the Blademaster and Dual Wielding to commit to dual wielding swords with no weapon swap instead of the standard condition traits.
You will need to use various skills to upkeep Berserk. If you drop out of Berserk, it can be very punishing. However, if perform the skills as required, the state can be sustained and the build is very fun and rewarding.
