Specializations

Variants replace with Can't find such trait "Vigorous Training"! Please refer to our trait index or is up to you if you don't choose warhorn in the offhand

Variants replace with if you want more control and defensive via taunt or for more offensive power with might and quickness. I prefer the Axe Trait for more AoE Cleavedamage and Chill. Personal Preference, every Grandmaster Trait will work here.
