Frenzied Berserker Tree Changes

[Twistense]

Some of my thoughts for how the tree could be updated since it has kind of been outshined by the dragon lord tree recently. This will most likely be OP if it was to be implemented exactly the way i have it, but i think the general idea of it could be a nice upgrade to keep up with the times.

Or, and stay with me here it's about to get wild - it's pretty much fine and doesn't need to be overhauled as a result of the tree for another unrelated class.

This is possibly the worst rebuild of a tree I've seen. Losing 1.5k hp for a battle trance is terrible, as other trances in the game require zip. Not only that, but you put it as the core 6, which makes no sense and makes it completely useless until epics. Core 1 grants too much, and it looks like you just copy-pasted the rest of the wiki. Lash out doesn't even scale so I'm not sure why you kept that in, as its one of the worst tier 5 enhancements. 50% strikethrough imo is also nothing huge. Yes the tree needs a rework, but this is definitely not it.
