General Notes

The Berserker's Garb Set is is nice for low level Barbs, but deals very poor damage and overall set bonus. The fact that it uses an axe is a negative too, since they are clearly the weakest of all weapon types for the long run.

These are the stats for the set in Diablo II Expansion Pack: Lord of Destruction, where there are partial set bonuses and hidden item bonuses.

• The odds of gambling a set item is 1 in 1000.
• Item Level: Used in many in-game calculations. Monsters must be of this level to drop the item.All items in Berserker's Garb have an Item Level of 5
• Clvl req is the character level you need to be to be able to wear the item. All items in Berserker's Garb have a Clvl Req of 3.
• Hidden Bonuses usually work in conjunction with other items. For example, if you are wearing a set helm that has a listed hidden bonus as "Wearing 2 Items: +15 Str", it means that if you wear the helm with any other item in the set, the helm will show an additional bonus of +15 Str in green text. These bonuses apply to the individual item only, but most sets will have several items with these properties, so you can quickly find that simply wearing 3 items from a 4 item set will give you several additional magical bonuses. The bonuses stack together, so if you have an item that has bonuses for wearing both 2 and 3 items, if you are wearing 3 items you will receive the bonus for wearing 2 items as well.

Weapon Notes

• Damage Bonus: This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage. Multiply by the listed value per 100 points in that stat (eg if you have 200 points, multiply by 2). All bows are 100 Dex, almost all melee weapons are 100 Str, most throwing weapons are 75/75.
• Weapon Speed: A relative comparison to other weapons of the same type. 0 is the base -10, -20, etc is faster, 10, 20, etc is slower, always in increments of 10.
• Range: Melee only. From 1 (least) to 5 (most) in D2X. Numbers are fixed across item classes: a 3 javelin = a 3 sword = a 3 hammer, etc.

Armor Notes

• Light Armor: No stamina or speed penalties.
• Medium Armor: +5% stamina drain and speed penalty.
• Heavy Armor: +10% stamina drain and speed penalty.

Set Bonuses

Obviously intended to be a Barbarian Set, and wouldn't be bad at low levels. The full set bonus is particularly underwhelming though, probably the worst in the game.

Diablo II

These are the stats for the set in Diablo II, where there are no partial set bonuses or hidden item bonuses.

Item	Item Name	Attributes	Commentary
	Berserker's Hatchet Double Axe	5-12 Damage 48 Durability 43 Required Strength Axe Class: Normal attack speed Swing Speed: P - Fast Am/B/N/S - Normal Clvl 3 Required 30% bonus to attack Rating 5% mana stolen per hit	Decent stats for a low level character, but very lacking damage.
	Berserker's Hauberk Splint Mail	90-95 Defense 60 Durability 51 Str Required Clvl 3 Required +1 to Barbarian Skills Magic damage reduced by 2	Not bad for a low lvl Barb, decent defense and bonuses.
File:Berserkers-headgear.gif	Berserker's Headgear Helm	Helm 30-33 Defense 48 Durability 26 Str Required Clvl 3 Required +25% Fire Resistance +15 Defense	Good for the fire resistance, but again, only for a lower level character.

Set Bonuses

Obviously intended to be a Barbarian Set, and wouldn't be bad at low levels. The full set bonus is particularly underwhelming though, probably the worst in the game.
