Usage

  • Use to start fights. Immediately follow it with to break the self-stun.
  • A note about Fury Fury: Fury is a significant portion of your damage and you only generate it from and . Since is not typically part of the rotation, it can sometimes be worth using it at level 3 outside of Berserker mode in order to generate 16 seconds of Fury Fury. This should usually be done right before using , but requires some setup to do.

The basic Greatsword Greatsword priority is as follows:

  1. to open fights, and throughout the fight to maintain
  2. - use this off cooldown.
  3. at 0 adrenaline to instantly refresh
  4. Fill with auto-attacks.

For Axes Axes, the priority is similar:

  1. to open fights, and throughout the fight to maintain
  2. off cooldown
  3. Fill with auto-attacks.
  • On Axe/Axe in particular, the goal is generally to avoid auto-attacking as much as possible.

Defense

  • can be used to evade attacks and reposition.
  • heals you based on damage dealt, continue to deal damage
