In Sacred 2 the term 'Buff' refers to a specific type of Combat Art that affects the player in a positive manner over a period of time. They are Combat Arts that can be 'permanently' active and are indicated in game with the word (BUFF) beside the combat art name. In order to use Buffs they must first be equiped. Pros -Lessens damage taken while active -Easy to increase shield power since it is in the RT Tree Cons -Takes up a buff slot requiring concentration -Only absorbs 'partial' damage and is a buff while Divine Protection is an activate CA and absorbs 100% damage. Equip it into your buff slots (Lower right of the screen, there are 4) You can only use 1 slot to start, Concentration unlocks more. You must click it to activate it, and if you mod or level it, recast it. Implemented a new ingame options menu. Added new bosses to reward exploration. Added eight new portals for more convenient travelling around Ancaria. New 'level-of-detail'-system for better general performance. Better pathing in some areas. End bosses use more/improved special abilities. Opponents in dungeons are more challenging now.
Improved Interface
The Graphical User Interface, or GUI, is newly redesigned for Sacred 2. The GUI was also altered to fit onto the consoles. You can find that information here. Console Interface
GUI Descriptions
The basic parts of the GUI are described below, with a close-up view of each section.
1) Health Bar - Shows how much life you have. There is also a Shield Bar that appears alongside this when the Temple Guardian or Seraphim is using an Energy Shield Combat Art/Buff.
2) Experience Bar - Displays your current experience and experience needed for the next level.
3) Level Indicator - Shows your current character level. Also flashes with a '+' (plus sign) when you have leveled up and have new points to allocate. Clicking it will take you to the Character Screen.
4) NPC Icons - Icons inside the minimap are NPCs in the nearby vicinity. Icons on the edge of the minimap are NPCs who are further away, and can be found by traveling in their direction.
- Horse Trader (horseshoe). Purchase a trusty steed here.
- Merchant (money bag). Buy and sell your items.
- Rune Master ('runemaster'). Exchange runes for other runes (for a price).
- Blacksmith (anvil). Forge items and runes into slots.

5) Character Arrow - Your character is identified by the green arrow. Opponents are red arrows. (Boss monsters are shown as a triple red arrow.)
6) Quest Pointers - Main quest (orange) and side quest (silver). These show the direction you need to travel to get to your currently active quests. (There is also a character-specific blue quest-line.) Select a quest in your Quest Log to make it active.
7) Minimap Options - The top 'eye' button opens a menu where you can show or hide symbols (such as NPCs) on the map. The bottom 'gear' button opens a menu where you can adjust the Minimap and Tab-map options. (The Tab-map expands from the Minimap when the Tab key is pressed.) Options include size, scale, curvature, translucency, and rotation. The gold 'triangle' button in the corner will show or hide the Minimap.
8) Hero Chest (Player Stash) - Icon (a chest). Store your extra items and access the shared stash here. Found in various locations throughout Ancaria.
9) Questgiver - Icon (? or !). NPCs with a quest for you to do have a blue question mark '?' above them. This is replaced by an exclamation point '!' if you have completed the quest and need to turn it in and collect your reward.
10) Relic Holder - Contains four groups of three relics, but only one group is active at a time. Click a group or press F5-F8 to rotate.
11) Divine Gift - Also called the God Spell. This is an extra Combat Art dependent on your chosen Deity. Press the 'G' key.
12) Weapon Slots - You start with one, and more are obtained as you increase in level, up to a maximum of four slots. Each can hold a weapon (or a weapon and shield, or two weapons if you chose Dual Wield as a skill). Press F1-F4 to switch between them.
13) Potion Slots - Clicking will activate the currently equipped potion. You can drag any potion you choose into these slots if you don't like the default selection. The Space bar still 'drinks' a health potion. All potions will still stack in your inventory, up to 20 per stack.

20) Buff Slots - A maximum of three simultaneous buffs is allowed. You start off with one. Choosing the Concentration skill will allow you a second, and then getting mastery (75 points in Concentration) will give you the third. Press 5, 6, or 7 to activate.
21) Mount Button - Click to call your mount or mount/dismount. When you have your mount, you may choose from either a small horse icon (if you have a horse), or a special icon (if you have your character-specific mount). Press '0' (zero).

Modifications
|
| ||||||||||||||||
Skills and Attributes
The following skills will affect this combat art:
- Dragon Magic Lore - increases casting speed but NOT the damage or any of the Dragon Berserk's abilities. Allows for modification points.
- Dragon Magic Focus - reduces regeneration time and allows for higher level combat art without penalty, allows for modification points.
- Concentration - directly improves regeneration time
- Tactics Lore, Ancient Magic do not raise the damage - no skills do.
The following attributes will affect this combat art:
- Stamina will lower regeneration time of Dragon Berserk (but not the regeneration time of his special CA's)
- Neither Strength nor Intelligence increase his damage
Usage Strategies
- All of the Dragon Berserk's innate abilities (and his special CA's) scale with CA level. However, they also scale with character level, meaning a Dragon Berserk with only one rune read will be much more powerful when the character is level 50 than when they are level 1. This scaling (partially) makes up for the fact that no attributes or skills increase his power.
- Suggested modifications are Fury,Steal Life, and Blood Frenzy. These will increase his offensive powers massively. The other modifications all work to increase the duration - they are unneccessary as hits already make the form last longer even without mods. Landing hits faster, harder, and more reliably is more important.
- In Bronze and Silver, the Dragon Berserk can go toe-to-toe with most bosses and be used as a boss-slayer due to high life steal and offensive power.
- In this form the Dragon Mage's normal combat arts are replaced with special new ones, though he can still use his Divine Gift while in Berserk form.

- Needless to say the Dragon Berserk cannot ride a Horse or Draconicon. The Dragon Mage will automatically dismount to shapeshift and cannot re-mount until changing back.
Combo Recommendations
Dragon Berserk can't function as part of a combo as it is a shapeshifting form
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely powerful in lower difficulty levels, especially with the Life Leech ability enhanced with Steal Life mod.
- With the Frenzy modifications, hits can easily sustain the Dragon Berserk form. But even without them, so long as the Dragon Berserk remains in combat and able to land hits, he can sustain the form indefinitely.
- The Community Patch significantly improves the offensive and defensive powers of the Dragon Berserk while granting him access to potions, buff slots, and alchemy trophies, making the Dragon Berserk viable even in higher difficulties.
Cons
- A player cannot open containers, talk to NPCs or use mounts, merchants, smiths or runemasters while in this form. He also cannot manage his inventory, CA's or combos.
- Without the Community Patch, the Dragon Berserk suffers significantly in offensive and defensive capability in Platinum and Niobium.
- No skills, equipment, or attributes affect the powers of the Dragon Berserk. Only the level of the CA (and higher character level) will increase his power.
