Players who wish to buy this necklace are advised to take into consideration its limited usage, as well as its benefits compared to crit rate/prayer-boosting items like the Amulets of Glory and Fury, as well as Holy/Unholy Symbols. Its primary function is only really useful if the player does not have the funds, levels, or quest requirements to use some of the Dragon equipment, or if the player wishes to make use of the alternative damage styles. The Berserker Necklace's usefulness likewise wanes as the player gains levels and funds, allowing the acquisition of stronger alternatives.
Note: The Void melee set's 5% damage bonus does stack with a Berserker necklace.
