Berserker Passive Question

[AlienPrimate]

Does the berserker damage reduction work like endurance and prevent one shots or is it just when actually low health?

[Llama8]

Yes, i believe it works like endurance.

No, Berserker’s damage reduction does not function like endurance. Please see lead developer Trasochi’s responses from Discord concerning this below:

Discord_User: For instance, if I have 1000 health and no protections and take a 1000 damage hit, will I survive (will berserker kick in even though I took the hit on full health)?

Trasochi: It would not, it’s only active when you’re below 35% health.

Trasochi: Unlike Endurance, “Less Damage taken at low health” effects only apply if you’re already at low health.

@Llama8 I’m surprised you don’t recall this interaction with Trasochi about this:

Llama8: That’s not what we’ve been told. We’ve always been told that the damage reduction applies to the portion of the hit that takes you below the threshold rather than requiring the hit to occur while you’re below the threshold.

Trasochi: It does not function the same as endurance. Only endurance has support for applying to part of a chunk of damage like that.

I am pretty sure that Mike did said previously it should work the same as endurance.

I also was under the assumption that this is the case and what Trasochi said here does conflict with that.

But I would believe Trasochi in this case, because he is the Lead Dev, sorry Mike

You lot are lucky I remember my own name sometimes.

And as Heavy says, we’ve had conflicting info from the devs.
