===Equipment Variants===
 
'''Relic'''
 
* {{Relic|Relic of the Nightmare}} when using {{Skill|"Feel My Wrath!"}} for pure glass cannon combo for condition cover, {{Tooltip|Poison}}, {{Tooltip|Fear}}, and {{Tooltip|Chill}}. Wait 6 seconds before using your elite again due to the elite on 24 second cooldown vs 30 second cooldown on the Relic.
 
 
'''Sigils'''
 
* {{Sigil|Compounding}} over {{Sigil|Doom}} when taking {{Relic|Relic of the Nightmare}}
 
 
==Usage==
 
'''Elite specialization mechanics'''
 
*{{Tooltip|Quickness}} generated from {{Skill|Potent Haste}}, {{Skill|Overwhelming Celerity}}, {{Skill|"Feel My Wrath!"}} is what makes this build works paired with Axe Auto {{Skill|Core Cleave}} and {{Trait|Permeating Wrath}} will cause massive {{Tooltip|Burn}}.  Unless the enemy is just standing still, it will be hard to do this so this where your other skills comes.
 
 
*{{Trait|Quickfire}} is a must as this will enable you to do more burns even your {{Skill|Tome of Justice}}  passive is on cooldown. 
 
 
 
 
'''Set-up'''
 
 
*Start in your mace and shield weapon set.
 
 
*Make sure you have {{Skill|Mantra of Truth}} and {{Skill|Mantra of Potence}} charged up. 
 
 
*Make sure to bait out dodges, stun breaks, {{Tooltip|Stability}}, Blocks, and Invulnerability, first before doing the combo by using {{Tooltip|Chapter 3 Heated Rebuke}}, {{Skill|Protector's Strike}}, or {{Skill|Shield of Absorption}}
 
 
 
 
'''Combo'''
 
*Once you find an opening that's when you use {{Skill|"Feel My Wrath!"}} then use {{Skill|Blazing Edge}} right away as its a very fast animation.  If you successfully pull the enemy in, immediately follow up with {{Skill|Symbol of Vengeance}} and {{Skill|Zealot's Flame}} while the enemy is mid way. 
 
 
*When they are in front of you start using 2 charges of {{Skill|Echo of Truth}} and {{Skill|Potent Haste}} at the same time while pressing axe auto {{Skill|Core Cleave}} and sending {{Skill|Zealot's Fire}} from torch skill. 
 
 
*By then the enemy will be likely be using a long blocking skills such as {{Skill|Fortified Earth}} or a disengage, you will want to wait to use the last charge of the mantra.
 
 
*Once there is an opening or they did not have any above, then use the last charge of the Mantra {{Skill|Voice of Truth}} and {{Skill|Overwhelming Celerity}}.  Once {{Skill|Voice of Truth}} successfully land, it will give many condition cover such as {{Tooltip|Slow}} {{Tooltip|Immobilize}} {{Tooltip|Blindness}} {{Tooltip|Weakness}} {{Tooltip|Vulnerability}}  plus {{Tooltip|Poison}} from the sigil swap and {{Tooltip|Chill}} from {{Trait|Glacial Heart}} after using {{Skill|Blazing Edge}} and {{Skill|Symbol of Vengeance}}  {{Tooltip|Daze}} from {{Trait|Unrelenting Criticism}}
 
 
*If everything lines up.  Spam only using your axe auto attack {{Skill|Core Cleave}} + {{Skill|Bleeding Edge}} + '''Searing Slash''' which stacks tons of {{Tooltip|Burn}} and minor {{Tooltip|Bleeding}}
 
 
*{{Tooltip|Immobilize}}  will help you land your auto
 
 
*If everything lands and don't address the burn with cleanses the enemy will be dead in about 2 seconds. 
 
 
*For against tanky builds or if you feel like it, you can use {{Skill|Tome of Justice}} + {{Tooltip|Chapter 4 Scorched Aftermath}} at the end of the enemy blocks or before pulling in with the  {{Skill|Blazing Edge}}  combo.
 
 
*{{Skill|Tome of Justice}} + {{Tooltip|Chapter 4 Scorched Aftermath}} deals a lot of damage paired with {{Trait|Permeating Wrath}} and {{Trait|Quickfire}}
 
 
 
 
'''Survival'''
 
*Once your done with the combo switch to mace as soon as possible as this will help you survive and sustain before the next combo.
 
 
*Try to survive as much as you can as your combo cooldown lines up to about 30 seconds. 
 
 
*By Utilizing {{Relic|Relic of the Defender}} all your {{Tooltip|Aegis}} heals you.  Skills such as {{Skill|Protector's Strike}}, {{Skill|Shield of Judgment}}, {{Skill|Tome of Courage}}, and {{Tooltip|Epilogue Unbroken Lines}}.  Just make sure to stagger them a few seconds to have as much of the heal amount.
 
 
*Use {{Skill|Tome of Resolve}} + {{Tooltip|Epilogue Eternal Oasis}} for the 20% Heal increase plus 5 condition cleanse such as {{Tooltip|Poison}} before using {{Skill|Signet of Resolve}}
 
 
*Don't be afraid to use {{Skill|Tome of Resolve}} + {{Tooltip|Chapter 2 Radiant Recovery}} for a quick 2 condition cleanse + heal as it only cost 1 page and low cooldown. 
 
 
*For ranged opponents or classes with lots of projectile, {{Skill|Tome of Courage}} + {{Tooltip|Chapter 3 Valiant Bulwark}} to start is a must for survival.  Due to the massive reflect bubble, this can reflect projectile damage back to the opponent.  The only downside to this is it does not reflect {{Tooltip|Unblockable}}
 
 
*{{Skill|Tome of Courage}} + '''Chapter 4 Stalwart Stand''' is another Stun Break.
 
 
*I found that while using {{Skill|Tome of Justice}} + {{Tooltip|Chapter 4 Scorched Aftermath}} for pressure relief while charging {{Skill|Mantra of Truth}} and {{Skill|Mantra of Potence}} works well as most players don't want to stand in fire.
 
 
*If the enemy is ranged, use terrain to block your line of sight while charging {{Skill|Mantra of Truth}} and {{Skill|Mantra of Potence}}.
 
 
*You can also use {{Skill|"Feel My Wrath!"}} to charge up {{Skill|Mantra of Truth}} and {{Skill|Mantra of Potence}} quickly if you are in a pinch.
