Notes

Key Features:
Beginner-Friendly: The build is an excellent choice for league starters, as you can wield Ground Slam right from the beginning, requiring minimal gear. With a 4-link setup, the Berserker Ascendancy, and clever use of the whetstone recipe, you can easily conquer act bosses and areas.
Safety First: The Ground Slam Berserker doesn't compromise on defenses. With inherent mechanics like Fortify, Warbringer heals, and the ability to stun enemies, you'll keep foes at bay while delivering devastating blows. By maintaining 6+ Endurance Charges, you achieve 24% physical damage reduction and 24% all resistances, making your character robust and resilient.
Versatile Performance: This build excels both in boss killing and mapping, thanks to its remarkable single-target damage output. Whether you're facing a powerful foe like the Awakener 8 or breezing through map packs, the Ground Slam Berserker can handle it all with ease.
Linear Gear Progression: The beauty of this build lies in its reliance on Resolute Technique (RT) and pure physical damage. You won't stress over critical attack breakpoints or elemental damage conversion. While high-end gear upgrades like a 6-link chest or top-tier uniques enhance the build, they aren't necessary for entry into maps and currency-making activities.

Pros:
Suitable for league start due to easy access to Ground Slam and effective gearing.
Offers strong defenses with innate mechanics like Fortify, Warbringer heals, and stunning enemies.
Great at both boss killing and mapping, making it versatile for various content.
Linear gear progression minimizes the need for complex item interactions.
War Cry synergy enhances your character's capabilities.

Cons:
Cannot tackle physical reflect maps due to lack of mitigation.
Not optimally suited for hardcore due to glass cannon nature.
Melee range combat requires close interaction with enemies.
Not the fastest at off-screen clearing or long-range engagements.

In-Depth Gear Explanation:
The Ground Slam Berserker build revolves around 2H Maces and underused uniques to deliver massive damage. Gearing up with rares is straightforward: prioritize high life rolls (50-75+), cap resistances (6 Endurance Charges help here), and add Intelligence and Dexterity as needed for skill requirements.
