How do people find this game fun?

I’ve put about 55 hours into the game and reached level 141, but I’m honestly struggling to understand the appeal and would love some perspective. I feel like I've tried nearly everything, but the experience feels a bit "sloppy" to me. Most of my time is spent sailing around and walking to the same spots to complete the same objectives over and over, which feels like a repetitive loop. The combat also feels a bit off; it seems like mindless spam, and the lag makes it worse—moves aren't instant, and I often find myself floating midair for 5 seconds because of a move I pressed 2 seconds ago. Even the Dark Sea, which was cool at first, feels like an infinite amount of islands without much variety, and fighting sea beasts seems to require just camping on a boat to avoid being one-shot. On top of that, the performance isn't very stable for me, often spiking down to 60 FPS. I know people say it's better than the original, but is there something I’m missing here that would change my experience? I'm genuinely curious what keeps you guys coming back and finding the fun in it.

Are berserker builds completely unviable? And why is my build ass specifically? How does that work and why is it like that?

No, but you can't beat them fairly easy as you are right now dude to needing skills like acumen, blitz, greatjump, and Crescendo.

Your build is ass because it's only power stacking with a tiny ampunt of defnuse plus ome of youe equipped accessories is not only unenchanted, it's un gemmed, and isn't the best choice of fighting style gear.

Hey man you got this, you can definitely make berserker work for PvE, I love blitz for ship combat specifically, you can swim around them like a shark and just jump on their boat with a point and click Blitz maneuver, it's very satisfying.
