Usage

Damage

• Use "For Great Justice!" and Shattering Blow off cooldown
• This build does not have an actual rotation due to its skills having no real loop. Instead, it features a priority of skills:
• Head Butt + Outrage to open fights, and throughout the fight to maintain Berserk
• Longbow: aim to use Scorched Earth 2-3 times, depending on if Blood Reckoning is up or not, and Fan of Fire twice. Use Pin Down and Arcing Arrow off cooldown
• Sword: aim to use Flaming Flurry 2-3 times, depending on if Blood Reckoning is up or not. Use Blaze Breaker and Flames of War off cooldown. Use Savage Leap directly after Flames of War for the Fire Aura, which is especially useful against groups of enemies. Against foes under 50% HP, use Final Thrust off cooldown.

Defense

• Shattering Blow blocks attacks and reflects projectiles.
• Smoldering Arrow can be used to blind enemies.
• Remember to always dodge and sidestep attacks if possible. Don't get hit by anything you can move out of.

Crowd Control

• Head Butt
• Pin Down
• Wild Blow
