AoB and Standard Games

Realistically for a melee build, what you really need is Bru->Bru->Ber->Bru and a non-sucking melee weapon to go with that. If you like charging in and slaughtering, MBm will be a good master trait to go for, otherwise MVm is a "safe" survival-enhancing melee master trait. Also, due to a bug, 'zerk triggers (by damage taken) less if you took any additional Iro (fixed for 0.9.9.8). Maybe this is why you feel the the berserk effect isn't triggering often enough. Also, if you are going for Ber, I highly recommend taking a third level of Bru -- it does help with the damage-doing trigger of 'zerking, unless I have remembered wrongly.
100% is unnecessary unless you are going for specific badges or challenges. I play on HMP these days, and I can assure you that if you kill enough of the enemies up to and including Cybie, you can easily reach cLev 7 or 8, where you have access to your Master trait and possibly one to two additional traits. That's enough to win the game.
I have no idea what MVP is -- did you mean MVm?
I have no experience with MMB builds, so I will not comment on that. But your observation of mobility is very poignant -- it is often better to have DoomGuy do something faster than tank more, be it shooting, hitting or moving.
White Rider:
Barring Malicious Blades builds on AoB, I prefer taking 3 levels of Brute before I take Berserker, particularly if I feel suicidal enough to attempt Arena. So instead of:
Bru -> Bru -> Ber -> Bru
I enter Arena with:
Bru -> Bru -> Bru -> YASD (damn Arena)
Early Ber might be a good idea on UV though since so many enemies show up at one time and so early on.
Eyro:
Well crap, I am learning a ton about why I'm bad at the game, I keep trying to 100% levels on high difficulties as a beginner. I would've thought the extra XP would be worth the risk.

yes >_< Brainfart. Sorry.
Thanks for the insight, though. It helps.

This I definitely recognize. I tend to avoid challenge levels when I play AoB, at least early on. The only one I specifically aim for is Chained Court, and that's only for the guaranteed Chainsaw.
