A battle axe would be nice, but not necessary. Maybe the brew could give Strength 1 & absorption 2 for 1:00? In a battle rage, you cease feeling pain, so only a lethal blow will kill (ie: decapitation, poison, pierced heart, etc.) blood loss, although yes this is typically ignored until brink of death while in a berserk rage Your sight going red was never reported to affect your vision, and neither does any other psychedelic or semi-hallucinogenic drug on the planet. If anything, it should be a focused view similair to the barrow-wights, but with everything blurred out.

I think that instead of this all, it should give Strength 1, Resistance 1, Fire Resistance 1 and Speed 1 (Speed is debatable) for 5 minutes, but after that goes away you have Weakness 2 and Fatique 2 for 5 minutes, with a Nausea for 10 seconds.

Berserkers were known to be fire-proof in Scandinavian lore, they would bite the edges of their shields, swallow red-hot coals and were immune to all bladed weapons, and so were mostly only killed with blunt force, even while wearing little to no armor.

I believe that it is the Amanita Muscaria that was a consideration for what the Berserkers ate, as it has hallucinogenic properties and also was commonly found in the regions where Berserkers were common, however, the Amanita Muscaria has already been added in the game, in the form of the 'Red Mushroom' as you can see the similarities below



Therefore, I believe that the 'Berserker Draught' should be, if anything, only buyable from Dunlending Druids and not be brewed at all, as this should be a only-dunland specific draught which should give reason to people to join Dunland

Also, all Dunlending Berserkers should have the effects of a Berserker Draught when they aggro, making them more effective as a 'Shock troop' used to deal a charge, and reel back once the effects start wearing off, seeing as they have terrible armor.
