Rotation
Lunging Strike (Two-Handed Mace) is our main damaging skill, letting us dash to targets while generating Fury — and even spending it when using Shard of Verathiel.
Ground Stomp is a core supporting skill used for 4 reasons. It generates Earthquakes to trigger the multipliers from related Aspects, reduces the Cooldown of our Ultimate thanks to Strategic Ground Stomp, groups up monsters due to the new S11 changes and applies the Paingorger's Gauntlets mark.
War Cry as our offensive Shout grants us Berserking, but more importantly, delivers a hefty damage multiplier.
Challenging Shout as our defensive Shout gives us a massive damage reduction buff and bonus Maximum Life to make sure we outlive the harshest demons of Sanctuary.
Iron Skin as a low-cooldown defensive buff. The latest S11 changes make it useable at full health, while also providing us Barrier, bonus Maximum Life and Life per second or Fortify.
Wrath of the Berserker when up or at least every Supreme Wrath of the Berserker from resetting.
Ground Stomp when up or at least every 8 seconds.
War Cry for the massive damage boost.
Challenging Shout for its defensive capabilities.Note: You can also choose to pocket this buff for upcoming tough fights.
