-Gained at level 30 from {{quest|The Affray}}, the '''Berserker Stance''' is your stance for becoming the unstoppable force with Berserker Stance-unique abilities such as [[Intercept]], [[Berserker Rage]], [[Whirlwind]], [[Pummel]] and [[Recklessness]] as opposed to being the immovable object([[Defensive Stance]]). The +3% crit is a decent improvement to your overall DPS, but not the highlight of this stance. The +5% damage taken should be viewed by warriors as both a blessing and a curse. The good part of it being the increased rage generation when being hit, the bad part which is the obviously quicker death.

-==Tips==
+Crafted with [[Plans: Ragesteel Shoulders]], which drop off of any of the enraged elementals in [[Shadowmoon Valley]].
-This stance is the primary stance of a DPS warrior, both soloing and in groups, whether talented in Arms or Fury.
+== Notes ==
-Over the long run, the Berserker 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.

+*This has identical looks to [[Herod's Shoulder]], except that where Herod's Shoulder only covers the right shoulder, this covers both.
+==External links==
-Useful in PvP, especially for the Fear and Incapacitate removal and immunity 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.

-To get the most out of the Critical Bonus, consider [[Cruelty]] and [[Poleaxe 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 Dual-Wield fast swords or daggers, or a very large Two Handed weapon, and use [[Slam]] to counter the slow timer.
