Time to get Angry!
The Berserker can trigger a berserk mode after building up enough adrenaline. While in berserk mode, players have a shortened adrenaline bar, but also gain the ability to use the “Primal Burst Skills” which are only available to the Berserker in berserk mode.
These primal burst skills have a shortened recast time which allows the Berserker to use the skills more frequently along with the shortened adrenaline bar.
