Solo Berserk overwritten by Group AE Berserk?

[Derelict_Co]

<DIV>I just dinged 24, and got a group AE berserk(Battle Chant).  Seems all and well, but it overwrites my self-buff berserk spell(Focus Rage).  Is this intended, in groups am I going to have to sacrifice my berserk to allow the others to berserk as well?</DIV>

<font color="#00cc99">Working as intended. Your higher level berserk provider will always overwrite your lower level one. In almost every case, including the current endgame scenario, this means that group berserk overwrites self-berserk. The effects don't stack as they are both called Berserk, essentially.If you want to retain your own personal berserk while still allowing your group to berserk there is a small trick, put up both berserks then cancel the group zerk from your effects window. It should still remain in your maintained window, buffing other players Only problem is that now if people get too far away from you, you zone, or otherwise drop buffs, such as dying, you have to recast and repeat. For the most part it isn't worth the hassle...</font><div></div>

Agreed, it's not really worth the hassle.  And just because one overwrites the other, and they don't stack, doesn't mean that having both on doesn't help, because it does.  You effectively have a better chance to go berserk with both of them on.  So again, even though they don't stack, you get a better chance for atleast one of them to proc.  Kinda like having 2 strength rings that proc DPS...They don't stack if they both happen to go off, but you are giving yourself a better chance of ateast one of them going off.
