Equipment Variants

Relic

• Relic of the Nightmare
  when using
  "Feel My Wrath!"
  for pure glass cannon combo for condition cover, Poison, Fear, and 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 of Compounding
  over
  Sigil of Doom
  when taking
  Relic of the Nightmare

Usage

Elite specialization mechanics

• Quickness generated from
  Potent Haste
  ,
  Overwhelming Celerity
  ,
  "Feel My Wrath!"
  is what makes this build works paired with Axe Auto
  Core Cleave
  and
  Permeating Wrath
  will cause massive Burn. Unless the enemy is just standing still, it will be hard to do this so this where your other skills comes.

• Quickfire
  is a must as this will enable you to do more burns even your
  Tome of Justice
  passive is on cooldown.

Set-up

• Start in your mace and shield weapon set.

• Make sure you have
  Mantra of Truth
  and
  Mantra of Potence
  charged up.

• Make sure to bait out dodges, stun breaks, Stability, Blocks, and Invulnerability, first before doing the combo by using Chapter 3 Heated Rebuke,
  Protector's Strike
  , or
  Shield of Absorption

Combo

• Once you find an opening that's when you use
  "Feel My Wrath!"
  then use
  Blazing Edge
  right away as its a very fast animation. If you successfully pull the enemy in, immediately follow up with
  Symbol of Vengeance
  and
  Zealot's Flame
  while the enemy is mid way.

• When they are in front of you start using 2 charges of
  Echo of Truth
  and
  Potent Haste
  at the same time while pressing axe auto
  Core Cleave
  and sending
  Zealot's Fire
  from torch skill.

• By then the enemy will be likely be using a long blocking skills such as
  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
  Voice of Truth
  and
  Overwhelming Celerity
  . Once
  Voice of Truth
  successfully land, it will give many condition cover such as Slow Immobilize Blindness Weakness Vulnerability plus Poison from the sigil swap and Chill from
  Glacial Heart
  after using
  Blazing Edge
  and
  Symbol of Vengeance
  Daze from
  Unrelenting Criticism

• If everything lines up. Spam only using your axe auto attack
  Core Cleave
  +
  Bleeding Edge
  + Searing Slash which stacks tons of Burn and minor Bleeding

• 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
  Tome of Justice
  + Chapter 4 Scorched Aftermath at the end of the enemy blocks or before pulling in with the
  Blazing Edge
  combo.

• Tome of Justice
  + Chapter 4 Scorched Aftermath deals a lot of damage paired with
  Permeating Wrath
  and
  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 of the Defender
  all your Aegis heals you. Skills such as
  Protector's Strike
  ,
  Shield of Judgment
  ,
  Tome of Courage
  , and Epilogue Unbroken Lines. Just make sure to stagger them a few seconds to have as much of the heal amount.

• Use
  Tome of Resolve
  + Epilogue Eternal Oasis for the 20% Heal increase plus 5 condition cleanse such as Poison before using
  Signet of Resolve

• Don't be afraid to use
  Tome of Resolve
  + 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,
  Tome of Courage
  + 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 Unblockable

• Tome of Courage
  + Chapter 4 Stalwart Stand is another Stun Break.

• I found that while using
  Tome of Justice
  + Chapter 4 Scorched Aftermath for pressure relief while charging
  Mantra of Truth
  and
  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
  Mantra of Truth
  and
  Mantra of Potence
  .

• You can also use
  "Feel My Wrath!"
  to charge up
  Mantra of Truth
  and
  Mantra of Potence
  quickly if you are in a pinch.
