Usage

Damage

The primary damage skills are Cyclone Axe, Dual Strike, and Whirling Axe. You should use these skills whenever available and fill in the gaps with Throw Axe/axe autoattacks. Never interrupt autoattack chains, as most of the damage is loaded in the last hit of Triple Chop.

Activate Signet of Rage and "For Great Justice!" off cooldown for boons.

Use Eviscerate off cooldown.

Survivability

Remember to always dodge and sidestep attacks if possible. Don't get hit by anything you can move out of.

You can slot Dolyak Signet, Signet of Stamina, or Endure Pain for more damage mitigation.

You can cleanse conditions by weapon swapping or using Mending. For more condition-heavy fights you should run "Shake It Off!"

• Throw Bolas
