The core gameplay revolves around maintaining Berserk uptime for increased Thorns damage and defense. Use War Cry to generate Fury and cast Leap or Whirlwind to actively engage enemies and maximize Thorn application. Frenzy helps with single-target damage and Fury generation.
Remember, you don’t need to directly attack enemies; let them come to you and be shredded by their own attacks.

Excellent AoE damage and crowd control
Incredibly tanky with high survivability
Easy to play and manage
Weaknesses:
Lacks single-target burst damage
Can be slow against enemies immune to Thorns
Requires specific gear for optimal performance
Variations:
Rend Thorns: This variant incorporates Rend for additional single-target damage and Bleed effects.
Frenzy Thorns: This variation focuses on maximizing Frenzy damage with Wrath of the Berserker uptime.
Remember, adaptation is key. Modify the build based on your gear, playstyle, and the specific challenges you face. Be a walking fortress of thorns and watch your enemies crumble before you!
