I'm glad someone finally pointed this out (I'm glad someone posted; I forgot this thread existed).
Tactic: Currently gMS only - requires 45% max Berserk threshold and 40% HP potions (or 35% threshold and 30% HP pots...but how do you plan on mass buying those each time you want to boss?). Use a Ginseng Root after receiving 1/1 and retain Berserk (instead of hitting your Berserk pot key 2-4 times).
Max HP = 30000 (calculating with max since the higher HP you have, the higher Achilles you can have for this Berserk tactic).
Max Berserk HP = 13500.
Damage recovered with a Ginseng Root: 12000.
Damage taken with a 1/1 & 0 Achilles: 13499.
Damage taken with a 1/1 & 10 Achilles: 12149.
Damage taken with a 1/1 & 11 Achilles: 12082.
Damage taken with a 1/1 & 12 Achilles: 12015.
Damage taken with a 1/1 & 13 Achilles: 11942 = Overpot.
The lower your max HP, the lower your max Achilles can be for this to work. This doesn't factor in the healing you would get from Aura of the Beholder, however, as that may coincidentally heal you while you use that Ginseng, putting you above the Berserk threshold. This also doesn't take into account that it's very unlikely that you will keep your HP exactly at the Berserk threshold, meaning an even lower Achilles would be preferred. In short, if you plan on Berserking with Ginseng Roots as your 1/1 pot, the highest Achilles you can have is 13.
