Berserker & Fury viable?

[GhostRipperNL]

I am currently using the ack & brunt, hardly levelled it up, and from what I've heard it's high crit chance (20%) makes it very good for a body count-Blood Rush- Berserker build. And I'm definitely going to use it, but I have a mod slot to spare, and was wondering if a fury mod would help it a lot (non-primed).

Otherwise I would probably put in a true steel mod (to boost crit chance and subsequently berserker) Or just put another elemental mod in.

I really like high attack speed on weapons, but too much is too much, and the extra damage wouldn't hurt, thoughts?

Berserker is enough, you don't need THIS MUCH attack speed.

I personally don't run fury (nor it's prime variant) in my Ack & Brunt, seeing the Final Harbinger is a really fast combo, during it's spinning attacks.

So, I'd say you're fine with only Berserker.

I had that thought as well, but what would I replace it with?

Body Count.

More damage or range ?

Crit damage & chance also

[GhostRipperNL]

I am currently running:

Blood Rush / Body Count/ Berserker combo

2 Elemental mods to factions

Jagged Edge

Pressure Point

-Mystery mod?-   So, either another elemental or True Steel, I really have no clue

I love insane attack speeds, regularly getting above 1.5, and put Primed Fury on absolutely everything. I get the slow-but-powerful meta, but if Primed Reach-Primed Fury can't reach the same dps by hitting everything in the room, then well I'll be! XD

(edit: I main longer weapons, mainly. Shorter ones aren't too viable for the room-length standard I set myself at)

Would reach be a viable addition to Ack & Brunt?

Organ shatter, you have crit chance covered with blood rush, you need crit damage now.

Blood rush, body count, pressure point, organ shatter, reach, true steel and 2 elements. That's how I would build it 

[Naftal]

It is very viable. The attack speed bonuses are multiplicative and not additive.

Of course if you use a very fast melee it gets faster than you can click but on things like heavies or spin attack builds it's VERY good.

[AandOE]

A regular Reach would help you to get higher Body Count by not having to be directly in the enemy's face. I use Primed Reach to regularly maintain a 3x or higher multiplier by hitting enemies on the other sides of walls and doors, as will the regular Reach. (to a slightly lesser extent, of course) If not wanting to use a Fury, a Reach is a great compliment.

Get Organ Shatter for sure. With a crit build like that, Organ Shatter (which will nearly double your final damage) is a must-have.

If you want to add in another mod like Reach or something, then from there, Jagged Edge has the lowest priority and can be removed if necessary.

[GhostRipperNL]

Alright guys, it's clear: Organ Shatter, didn't even think of the obvious.

Should've seen that at blood rush x2, the incredible crit chance should be complimented.

Thanks a lot guys!

Stick Berzerk, Blood Rush, Body Count, Max Primed Fury and a crit setup on ANY large, cumbersome weapon and just watch the magic as you turn into a ragdolling murder-machine.

Jagged edge is strictly worse than a 3rd 90% element and always will be unless they come out with a weapon that is 100% slash. 

On the Ack & Brunt why would you add 90% of 40 slash (36) when you can add 90% of 50 total damage (45).  After increasing the base damage with pressure point the gap only gets bigger.

[CGs_Knackie]

Try lifestrike instead of fury. :)

There is enough attack speed when you can't even perform combos anymore.
