The problem: Choosing the Berserker subclass of Barbarian gives you only 1 available upgrade to the base Frenzy; Blood Frenzy. 

 

Choosing No Subclass, or the 2 other subclasses, retains the option of Blood Frenzy, but adds 3 other options: Spirit Frenzy (In the same tier but a 2nd branch option in place of Blood Frenzy), its upgrade Spirit Tornado, and the upgrade of Blood Frenzy-> Blood Storm.

 

The lack of Frenzy upgrade options are not in-game listed as a penalty for choosing Berserker in the subclass details (they are simply missing from the Ability tree), seems backwards considering the Berserker is defined by its unique upgrades the Frenzy ability, and removing whole upgrade trees has no parallel in other martial sub-classes that I have found.

 

I tried searching this forum & there have been a small number of other threads on the topic reporting the issue, and 1 even had a response that the issues in the thread were put on the Bug list.  But that thread raised other issues & didn't have any response to whether this issue was intentional or not or that a fix was incoming. 

 

It seems like if this was a bug, it would be significant enough to add to a known issue (or at least have some response).  If this was done on purpose, it again seems significant enough that the options being removed should be documented somewhere in-game in a future patch.  For transparency, it seems like until it is patched in it should be listed somewhere at least on these forums that this is intentional.

 

Thank you.

Weirdly I don't have that issue on my Berserker, I can choose any of the Frenzy upgrades.

I think I could choose both upgrades on my Berserker/Soulblade Witch. The doubled rage cost didn't seem worth it though.

I had a sudden realization when I read the above posts, that I was basing my statement on 2 things: 

 

1.)  the Character Creation "Preview Talent Tree" screen

2.) other posts that had reported the issue

 

It came to me then that I hadn't actually gone past character creation as a Berserker bc those abilities were missing & I didn't want to make a Zerker until it had all of it's abilities properly.

 

Thus, I am now going to actually create one & see if it's actually available in game.  Will report back shortly with results.

I can now confirm, the abilities are simply missing from the Ability Tree Preview on level up. Kind of an odd deal, but they are all available & shown properly on the level up screen in the main game proper.

HI Seroster01,

 

Thanks for the post with the update of it missing on preview Ill get this added if it is not already.

 

Best,
