ChargeCharge: Changed into the Quick ReprisalQuick Reprisal version of the skill, Quick ReprisalQuick Reprisal is a great skill to use for some extra damage in an AOE in front of you.

Circle StrikeCircle Strike: This is your bread and butter alongside the Battle FrenzyBattle Frenzy. Circle StrikeCircle Strike does incredible damage in an AOE circle around you to all enemies caught in the spin.

War CryWar Cry: This is a great prebuff but also removes slows thanks to UnchainedUnchained for you and the team. That's not all though, it also acts as a debuffer for mobs thanks to Thunderous RoarThunderous Roar.

Crushing LeapCrushing Leap: Good CC and execution skill, stunning enemies and dealing more damage based on the missing health of the mobs, use it as mobs get to about 30% of their HP.

Battle FrenzyBattle Frenzy: Every attack or skill used stacks up charges of this special ability. Once you reach 10 charges, you can press T to use Battle FrenzyBattle Frenzy and start spinning, doing AOE damage to all nearby enemies.

Mana BoostMana Boost: This is important to maintain good mana sustain even though the build shouldn't have mana issues as it mostly relies on Battle FrenzyBattle Frenzy for damage. The build is also using Mana SiphonMana Siphon to help with mana regen based on how much damage you do.

CleanseCleanse: Good for clearing annoying debuffs. You can also opt for SprintSprint for movement speed.

With the max level currently being 20, it is unrealistic to assume anyone would have more than 15 weapon mastery before or at fresh level 20. If, for some reason you have more than that, consult the PVE Destroyer Build for more.


Rotations

AOE Full Rotation ↴
War CryArrow right.webpQuick ReprisalArrow right.webpCircle StrikeArrow right.webpBattle Frenzy

The rotation is very simple but requires weapon swapping which means that you must have Crimson Eclipse-epicCrimson Eclipse equipped at the beginning. First, you want to use War CryWar Cry to prebuff and debuff the mobs. Then, use its auto-attacks coupled with Quick ReprisalQuick Reprisal and Circle StrikeCircle Strike to deal damage and build up Battle FrenzyBattle Frenzy stacks. Once you are at 10 stacks, re-equip your Pistonbreaker's Edge-epicPistonbreaker's Edge and use Battle FrenzyBattle Frenzy to spin and deal damage but make sure to fully channel the skill so once it ends you get 5 stacks, making it easier to stack up back to 10 to use Battle FrenzyBattle Frenzy again.

Use Crushing LeapCrushing Leap when mobs get low to about 30% of HP or if you need to stun them to avoid damage.
