Usage
General
- The build is all about finishing people off in CC chains.
- The quickness not only rpovides an excellent damage boost but also make it easier to land slower CC skills such as or . Weaker but quick CC such as can be a good setup for these.
- Try to space our your CC skills, don't overlap them. If there's still ~2 seconds left of your stun for example it's better to pummel them with autoattacks and time your next CC closer to when the stun's about to run out.
- Your CC skills grant extra adrenaline via and adrenaline itself feeds into some of your strongest CC skills.
- Try to use and at full adrenaline whenever possible, use your other CC to build up your adrenaline. Yet if you swap weapons and your adrenaline is full, it's best to use these skills first. With a little luck it should be possible to keep enemies stunned for 6 seconds using these and other weapon skills while building adrenaline back up to maximum, allowing you to stun them again with these burst skills before swapping weapons again.
Ratings
I disagree with this having "low damage". Hammer #2 can hit in the 5-8k range on a 4s CD, both F1 skills got their damage back, there are nearly a dozen sources of Quickness in the build basically providing permanent uptime during CC chains, and 10s+ long CC chains are a very real possibility. Most enemies don't even live that long against this. Defense offers a 37% damage boost during stunlocks. I recognize there are way to prevent this and some specs can be really tough to face, but there's a near unlimited supply of CC spam in the build and you really don't need to land a lot of things to demolish people.
Suggesting to give up Disclipline is a bad idea in general, doesn't matter what build you run (unless it's Bladesworn). Against certain spec with decent Stability uptime you're probably not going to have a great time though, the build is admittedly something of a gimmick, but it only needs 1 opening to exploit to win.
A build using a combination of the buffs to hammer and mace in addition to changes made to merciless hammer and aggressive onslaught. Unfortunately mace and shield offer too little damage output, and thus discipline tree is somewhat wasted on them. If you're going to use discipline you're better off using greatsword as the other weapon because this currently has no mobility and gets kited easily. If you want to go use these weapons I would replace discipline with berserker 3 - 3 - 3
