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.

I will be adding more info soon.
