Anet don't seem to be aware that this build exists, so it's very underwhelming, but can still do ok if allowed time to ramp up, and the cleave is great.
5 stars
Pandawarmachine gave this build 5 stars • April 2019
Due to break bars it's not as powerful as Power Core, but it's still strong and performs well. Rotation seems long but once you understand WHY, it's very logical and straightforward to use. It lacks in trash clearing, excels in longer fights that don't phase too much. 4.5 out of 5.
3 stars
Chinkeeyong gave this build 3 stars • January 2019
Mediocre condition DPS. Difficult to pull off in real fights due to how alacrity and ping dependent the rotation is.
