Rotation
(2H Mace) Lunging Strike is our main damaging skill, letting us dash to targets while generating Fury — and even spending it when using Shard of Verathiel.
Hammer of the Ancients as a Fury pool and Fury generation steroid thanks to the Enhanced Hammer of the Ancients stacks. Violent Hammer of the Ancients also provides a massive damage boost when your cast Overpowers on top of applying the Paingorger's Gauntlets mark in a small area.
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 and applies the Paingorger's Gauntlets mark.
War Cry as our offensive Shout grants us Berserking, but more importantly, delivers a hefty damage multiplier. Paired with Marshal it also becomes a powerful Cooldown Reduction ability.
Challenging Shout as our defensive Shout gives us a massive damage reduction buff to make sure we outlive the harshest demons of Sanctuary. Paired with Marshal it also becomes a powerful Cooldown Reduction ability.
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 the added defenses.
Start spamming Lunging Strike to dash to your enemies and watch the magic happen as you jump around Overpowering your foes instantly.
Every 6 Lunging Strike (Moni + Xan), press Hammer of the Ancients in order to stack both Enhanced Hammer of the Ancients and Violent Hammer of the Ancients (with the guaranteed Overpower).
