Rather than attempt to surgically modify the Berserker class descriptor in situ, this addon adds the Berzerker class (distinguishable by the 'z'), with a mix of old-style and new-style talents. In particular:
- The new-style Technique/Two-handed assault and Technique/Berserker's strength trees are dropped in favor of the old-style Technique/Two-handed weapons and Technique/Two-handed maiming trees.
- In slight defiance of the preceding, we poach Relentless Fury from Technique/Berserker's strength and add it to Technique/Two-handed weapons, on the theory that there's no such thing as too many ways of restoring stamina.
- One of the reinstated old-style talents, Sunder Armour, apparently picked up the ability to shatter damage shields a la Shattering Blow somewhere between 1.1.5 and current, so that's a freebie.
- AFAICT New-style Berserkers also include changes to the Technique/Bloodthirst tree. I never used that tree, before or after 1.2.0, so lacking perspective to judge whether said changes are for the better or for the worse, I left them untouched.
