Swiftstrike buckler already is a kind of double edged shield (High attack speed, but real weak shielding abilities), and I thought it'd be great to see more of that kind of equipments, to create new ways of playing.
So the "Berserk shield" (very original name alright) could be the following:
No defense at all.
Increase attack speed: Very High
Damage bonus: Very High
Movement speed increase: High
Shielding ability disabled (meaning that you can only bump ennemies with it, but not shield; or give it a very very weak resistance)
Berserk shield

Concept OK, specifics probably OP
The concept is fine, but the abilities of it might need to be toned down.
In general, I think it's better to err on the weak-side, as most players prefer a buff over a nerf.
+1, not too sure about all of those at the same time. I think the damage is too much. With the movement and attack speed Very highs, you can literally run loops around everything chopping things to pieces.
