4/4/8 STR/STA/INT, good build?

[Synn_Swiftblade]

I am curious on how well this build will do? Looking for a bit of a change, but don't want to [Removed for Content] myself, anyone have experience with this build?

It is a common build. Certainly nothing gimped about it. I prefer sticking to two trees, but everyone has their own flavor.

don't you got more atk speed and the buff last for more time with 4/8/5 int?

As it is, no sane berserker would sacrifice criticals or double attack from STR and STA to boost his Haste. The damage lost from reducing your double attack rate, or your critical rate, FAR exceeds the damage gained from slightly faster Haste.

accell strike can miss, why put all your points in that

Though I'd probably go with INT 4/5/8 since Accel Strike can miss.

I prefer Int2 over Int3, just because the permanent haste isn't that high, like 18% at lvl8 or so. I think it's better to have AS last longer.
