Build Overview
This build runs relies on
Rallying Cry to give us insane amounts of movement speed and Fury Generation. All the damage we use to increase
Whirlwind also increases
Tornado Whirlwind. We gain those damage increases from
Mighty Roar War Cry,
Damage Bonus Challenging Shout and
Attack Speed and Damage Bonus Call of the Ancients. All of this combines together for some massive damage!
Arsenal Selection
This build will be running on a Dual wield set up. You will need one One-handed Axe and one One-handed Sword. This will be selected for
Whirlwind . This will allow you to take advantage of the Two-handed Polearm expertise. We are running Dual-wield for
Ambidextrous and a One-handed Axe for
Cleaver in the paragon board which is why we run this set up.
For the Overpower variant, your Arsenal selection will be Two-handed Mace.
Overpower
Overpower has changed with the launch of the Lord of Hatred. There is no actual Overpower Damage. We gain extra All Damage by having stacks of Overpower Buff. By default every player can gain 4 stacks. There are ways of increasing that through aspects like
Tidal Aspect. It is no longer a multiplier, it acts as a buff to your damage. There are ways of taking that buff and turning it into multipliers with items like
Banished Lord's Talisman. The one thing that Overpower does is add a lot of additive damage. This is harder to come by, so it becomes a very valuable resource.
Depending on how you build your build, you will have several different ways of generating overpower. It will be important to maintain the buff. Your overpower buff will last for 4 seconds and then 1 stack will be removed. If you have something like
Blood Boiling Aspect and you pair it with
Dominate eventually will have stacks of overpower 100% of the time. This is just one example of how you can gain Overpower stacks.

How
Melted Heart of Selig Overpower Variant Uses Overpower
This build will give you 4 stacks of Overpower. We are also gaining from
Blood Boiling Aspect which is our most important Aspect for this build. Because your stacks fall off one at a time every 4 seconds, every 6 seconds
Blood Boiling Aspect adds another rank of Overpower and you will never lose your stacks.
The
Melted Heart of Selig Overpower variant does not use
Tidal Aspect because it does not run
Banished Lord's Talisman or
Banished Lord's Talisman.
Tidal Aspect is only worth using if you are running this as a option. This variant does use Overpower for several different buffs. If you would like to use these you can re-arrange the gear to look like the example below. The damage difference is the same if not slightly less but the best part of builds this season is you can play them so many different ways!
Tidal Aspect replaces
Aspect of Channeling
Aspect of Channeling replaces
Heavy Hitting Aspect
Endurant Faith replaces
Gohr's Devastating Grips
Banished Lord's Talisman replaces
Endurant Faith
Pit and Tower Resolve Stacking
This variant gains survivability through the new Resolve stacking mechanic, giving us enough Damage Reduction to drop
Endurant Faith or
Endurant Faith. To make this work you will need to Temper all Armor and Amulet with Maximum Resolve Stacks. You will need to Masterwork most of these Tempers in order to get enough Damage Reduction. Resolve does not work for all builds or even in all content. For this variant you will rely on
Aspect of Dominance to build your Resolve stacks.
Challenging Shout is considered Crowd Control when taunting, and will activate
Aspect of Dominance to give you stacks of Resolve. You have to pair your Resolve with
Aspect of Glynn's Anvil to give you the crazy amount of Damage Reduction from this method.
Warning
Resolve cannot be stacked fast enough with this build for it to be used on Bosses. Because they cannot be Crowd Controlled you won't build up enough stacks, which results in having zero Damage Reduction and you will die.
Vulnerable Damage
This build uses
Ceh to apply Vulnerable (All Variants Except Pit/Tower Push)
Resolve variant will use
Bac +
Ohm with
Vulnerable War Cry and
Exploit. This will give you almost 100% uptime on Vulnerable.
Ultimate Selection
We are using
Highlander Call of the Ancients because of the significantly reduced cooldown. This allows you to cast
Call of the Ancients once every 6 seconds to maintain the attack speed and damage buff. This is still used post patch, even with the bugs to
Highlander Call of the Ancients. You still gain the bonus from
Attack Speed and Damage Bonus Call of the Ancients by casting
Call of the Ancients.

Aspect Interaction
Earthstriker's Aspect give you a damage bonus without swapping weapons. You just need to have the Overpower buff on to activate the second half of the aspect.
Weapon Master give you a damage bonus without swapping weapons.
Fury Management
Affixes
- Resource Generation will help increase the amount of Fury you gain and pairs really well with
Rallying Cry. - Fury Regeneration needs to be added onto the Helmet, Chest piece, Pants and Boots.
- Do not spam
Whirlwind if you are not near monsters if you can't maintain Fury. - You can also use Tempers that add Lucky hit chance to restore primary resources.
