Berserkers are a pure melee class focused on dealing heavy damage through aggressive combat abilities, powerful strikes, and thrown weapons.

=== Class Titles ===

In the original [[Kunark]] expansion, classes would gain new titles at levels over 50. In EverQuest Legends, these titles are not available, and it is unknown how they will be presented. While they may be available with future level cap increases, they are included here only for posterity:

== Picking the Right Race ==

When creating a character you must first select your primary race. This race will be locked in at level 11, and can't be changed until you unlock other races. Below are the race options for this class, as well as their stat line.

When selecting a race, a big consideration is the factions it is associate with and opposed to. There may also be some racial benefits or penalties to consider as well. Clicking on the name of the race will take you to the detailed race pages where these are defined in detail.
