Technique

How to play 1. Use your Ultimate (often) to generate resources and buff yourself 2. Use Rallying Cry to become unstoppable WHENEVER AVAILABLE so it can be autocasted by Yen's (unique boots) 3. Use Steel Grasp to pack mobs 4. Use Hota every 5 seconds (on a guaranteed Overpower) to gain the 40% Dmg boost 5. Start Deathblowing

  1. Enjoy the Overpower every 2 cast and Repeat

Pro tips 1. Keep your hota stacks for a better fury generation early on 2. You heal 100%+ max health / cast, don't be afraid of getting hit !

  1. DO NOT CLICK Cooldown Shrines ! Not spending resource = no heal

Weapon setup

  • Skill: ASSIGN 2H MACE to Deathblow

+Ranks to INVIGORATING FURY (chest temper) IS MANDATORY, you want to reach 7/3 ASAP

HORDE FARM:

  • Swap Grandfather for Ancient Oath and abuse steel grasp

Variations

Option1: Don't have Grandfather, fury issues, can't reach 175/200 max fury ?

  • Use Weapon master aspect instead of Fortress (makes Deathblow cost go down to 175 fury)
  • Use Endurant Faith (new unique gloves) the healing received will help you sustain your fury as well.
  • Salvage the 7 Paragon points from the Decimator Board (max HP north of legendary node) and put them in the Warbringer board to get more max fury

Option2: Don't have Doombringer ?

  • Replace Doombringer with a 1H weapon with Accelerating or Elements aspects

Build Notes

How It Works

The CORE IDEAS behind this build can be summarized below:

1.Turn Deathblow into a core skill with a cost using The Third lance (Unique)

2.Deathblow having really good animation and damage/rank scaling, we'll stack bonus ranks and Attack speed wherever we can

3.Abuse the easy to get 100% Critical strike chance

4.Further scale damage with Max Fury or Overpower and some Aspects

5.Get permanent buffs with shouts and Ultimate thanks to high CDR and Marshall (Glyph)

6a.(Dual Wield variant) Sustain your LOW Deathblow cost through the Starless skies + Fighter Deathblow combo 6b.(Overpower variant) Sustain your VERY HIGH Deathblow cost through the NOW FIXED Starlight Aspect & +Invigorating Fury ranks Secret Technique
