Usage

General

• This build is mostly suitable for team fights while it is also possible to win duels. You will mostly use Signet of Fury on recharge to spam your burst skills building up your 24px Ferocity stack via Signet Mastery. Use it already at the start of each match.

• Hitting with your burst skill will give you guaranteed critical hits for a while depending on the adrenaline level you used via Burst Precision. You will always want to try to get your hammer CC chain in after your burst for even more damage because of Merciless Hammer. Notice that Backbreaker will recharge your Fierce Blow the skill with the highest damage output so one example chain would be 4,2,5,2.

• Use Rampage for finishing off foes or getting out of the fire line and prevent damage.

• Use Dolyak Signet as stun break or as a last resort heal.

• Mending will give you six seconds of Protection (via Thick Skin and Relic of Durability so it could make sense to use it preemptively before entering a high damage situation.

• Use your bow's burst skill Combustive Shot if you need guaranteed condition removal. The closer to you you hit the ground the faster the condis will be removed.
