Build Overview

This is a basic skill leveling guide focused on Frenzy. Because we are only using a Basic Skill you won't have to worry about Fury Management. With the buff to Basic Skills this Season this will be a strong option for leveling.

For a complete and comprehensive leveling strategy, watch this video: The Ultimate Leveling Guide (All Classes)

Strengths and Weaknesses

This will be your starting variant. For gear at these levels you just take anything that is an upgrade and has an aspect on it. Any legendary gear will gain additional stats over yellow gear so those are always upgrades even if the aspects don't affect your build.

Your weapon selection will be Dual Wield for this set up.

At level 10

  • Tempering unlock. As long as you can afford it putting Elemental Surge on as many weapons as you can greatly increases your damage, even with rare temper manuals.
  • Flasks unlock at level 10 and you gain an addition 5% experience.

How it Plays

Frenzy Rotation

  • Cast Call of the Ancients to give you additional Attack Speed and damage.
  • Use Challenging Shout, Rallying Cry and War Cry on Cooldown.
  • Hold down the Frenzy button/keybind and never stop swinging!

How it Works

Defenses

  • Aspect of Might will proc the Damage Reduction by hitting an enemy with Lunging Strike. This has to happen once every 2 to 10 seconds, depending on how good your Aspect of Might is.
  • Aspect of Disobedience gives you armor by attacking enemies with any form of damage or by taking damage from enemies. You'll need to do damage at least once every 4 seconds to maintain the extra Armor it gives you.
  • Aspect of Numbing Wrath gives you Fortify for each point of fury you generate over max. If you have 100 Fury and you use Lunging Strike and it generates 10 Fury you'll gain 10 Fortify. Fortify gives you 15% Damage Reduction. If you combine Lunging Strike with Rallying Cry any damage you do, will generate Fortify for the extra Damage Reduction
  • Aspect of Bul-Kathos will not only cast an Earthquake when you Leap, it also gives you increased Damage Reduction while in an Earthquake and for 4 seconds after even if you don't use Leap
  • To maintain all of your defenses, you'll need to cast Frenzy at least once every 4 seconds.

Offense

  • Edgemaster's Aspect increases the damage of your next skill cast based on how much Fury you have. Because we are using Frenzy to proc Aspect of the Expectant and Frenzy generates Fury.
  • Aspect of Berserk Ripping will make enemies Bleed as long as you are Berserking. Leap will grant Berserking as well as War Cry
  • Aspect of Aspect of Inner Calm will give you a small increase to your damage at all times, even if you are moving. If you stand still that damage bonus can triple.
  • Aspect of Ancestral Echoes is just here to add a bit of fun to the build. This can be replaced right away, if you find something better like Earthquake or Aspect of Incendiary Fissures.
  • Rapid Aspect gives Frenzy increased Attack Speed.
