Is this enough defense to play berserker? Initially I'm looking at profile and thinking it should be fine. But in POB i'm wondering if that is enough with aspect of carnage. I haven't played Berserker before so I don't know, but 7.5k max phys hit seems pretty low for melee without other layers of defense. Ele defense looks a bit low too if endurance charges are down to me as well. Are they ever dropping off? Chaos res is solid, so not that.

What is going on with your flask set up? Do you usually have it like that or is it for the build?

Edit:

If it's not ailments getting you, I think you might need more armour.

Yeah Belegur is spot on. U have waaaaaay too little armour. U need a better chest, with at least 4000 armour. On top of that ur Flask setup isn't good.

Get Utility Flasks like Granite and Basalt with "Used when Charges are full" and "Gain 3 Charges when Hit". 66% Ailment avoid is also not very helpful. Either u get 100% avoid or u should just focus on getting reduced effect of shock to 100% instead. Combined with the Brine King Pantheon for Freeze immunity and 50% reduced chill effect. That covers at least two of the most nasty elemental ailments for the time until u can get 100% avoid.

Another thing u should consider is Spell suppression. I know some people think u don't need it anymore, but I think it's a must on Berserker. Getting Iron Reflexes and Evasion/Armour gear with spell suppression helps a ton.
Also u really shouldn't need Pride for ur damage. Just use a 6link autoexertion setup. That might save u some points in reduced mana costs aswell, since u have more mana to play with.

U can take a look at my Berserker, but keep in mind this char is very well developed by now.

There's tons of stuff to improve, but that's where I'd start.
