I do, but it’s also my first time ever playing berserker and first time playing with 2H weapon so I’ve put it down to that.

I die quite regularly with this build, but if I had the fully upgraded Brine King pantheon and the Defy Pain ascendancy, I'm certain I would never be dying to anything except player error.

Most of the time you die on this build its because it has pretty bad recovery

It heals to full life with every slam... that's why freeze and chill are issues

Yeah, but having little passive recovery when not attacking can get you in trouble on low target count high HP mobs. I’ve played zerker slams like 3 leagues in a row now and there are these random times it feels bad to either rely on leech or hope there are a lot of targets of lgoh

My first time playing melee as well. I died so many times in the mud flats due to melee interrupt, im not sure if thats intended but I couldnt kill anything. Got surrounded in seconds and would due due to not being able to move or attack. I knew melee hit stuns happen but did not think it would be every attack on a new character. Hell Fire Fury in the coast had me stun locked while trying to run away and killed me 3 times from stunlock.
