Barely a stance at all in the traditional sense and more a righteous thirst for destruction, let's just call it a sign that the Warrior's a little pissed off. By it's definition, it renders the berserking player furiously reckless, increasing both damage dealt and recieved. The stance works best with either two very fast weapons, or one very big one.
  
   
  +
=== Phase One - Plaguemaster Middleton's Abilities ===
−
Abilities unique to the Berserker Stance: [[Intercept]], [[Berserker Rage]], [[Whirlwind]], [[Pummel]], and [[Recklessness]]; [[Berserker Stance]] shares some abilities with [[Battle Stance]], but none with the [[Defensive Stance]]. rendering its focus on the rapid accrual and usage of Rage.
  
   
  +
*{{abilities|Slime Ball| Middleton releases a tiny ooze that rushes across the chamber in a straight line, exploding upon contact with anyone and dealing nature damage and applying the Slime Splash debuff. |image=Spell_nature_corrosivebreath|notes=}}
−
This stance is mostly a soloing one, although it has some use in Main Assist positions, provided the Main Tank is able to regain aggro from a lucky run of berserk critical hits, given that it is the opposite of [[Defensive Stance]].
 
  +
**{{abilities|Slime Splash| Increases nature damage taken from all sources. |image=Spell_nature_corrosivebreath|notes=Stacks to 99.}}
   
  +
*{{abilities|Blight Bomb| Middleton hurls a vial of explosive blight at the position of three random targets. The vials explode upon striking the ground, dealing nature damage to all nearby targets.|image=Spell_nature_corrosivebreath|notes=}}
−
Over the long run, the Berseker Stance is marginally more successful and time efficient for solo xp work than [[Battle Stance]], with quicker fights, but longer rest required between fights, so in the end, it's a matter of personal preference. For farming low-level (Grey or Green) enemies; to complete old quests or harvest loot, Berserker Stance helps speed the process up enormously.
  
   
  +
*{{abilities|Aura of Blight| A cloud of blight surrounds Middleton, reducing all damage he takes and increasing his health regeneration. Players close by will take periodic nature damage. |image=Spell_nature_corrosivebreath|notes=Reduces damage taken by 90% and increases health regeneration by 90%. Deals nature damage to anyone within 10 yards}}
−
Useful in PvP, especially for the Fear protection that [[Berserker Rage]] provides. Most non-melee enemies will try to avoid a direct brawl with the Warrior, and use any type of fear available, so clever timing with this ability can turn the tables completely. [[Pummel]] is also an invaluable PvP tool. A good tactic is to start in [[Battle Stance]], use [[Charge]], then swap to Berserker Stance for the rest of the fight.
  
   
  +
*{{abilities|Path of Blight| When Middleton moves, he leaves behind a trail of blighted ooze. Anyone walking across it takes massive nature damage every second. |image=Spell_nature_corrosivebreath|notes=Blighted ooze trails last for 30 seconds.}}
−
To get the most out of the Critical Bonus, consider [[Cruelty]] and [[Axe Specialization]] Talents as part of an accompanying Talent Build. The bonuses work best either with lots of very fast hits, or very large ones, so use Dual Wielded fast swords or daggers, or a very large Two Handed weapon, and use [[Slam]] to counter the slow timer.
  
   
  +
*{{abilities|Active Soul Magnet| Activates a Soul Magnet. |image=Spell_nature_corrosivebreath|notes=5 second casting time}}
−
To acquire the berserker stance, a quest must be completed on an island south of Ratchet any level 30 or after. For Horde characters, the quest can be obtained from a warrior trainer in any major city.
  
   
  +
