Hammer of the Ancients, or HoTA, is a solid leveling skill that does decent single target while also having some clear thanks to Aspect of Ancestral Force which makes HoTA also create a shockwave on use. We're taking advantage of Deathblow and Expose Vulnerability to make HoTA apply vulnerable to enemies and to proc our Walking Arsenal Key passive. Overall this is a strong build that should carry you through leveling and World Tier 3 and into the endgame.

How it Plays
- Use Lunging Strike or Leap to engage with enemies, hit with Deathblow to prime Expose Vulnerability and then HoTA repeatedly until everything is dead.
- Use Warcry for maximum damage and Rallying Cry for extra movement and fury generation.
- Try to keep your overall fury as high as possible because we get a major damage multiplier from having fury.
How it Works
Paragon Board
- Warbringer is the ideal first board.
- It has a lot of maximum fury increase which gives us major damage thanks to Furious Hammer of the Ancients.
- Avoid taking glyph nodes until you can get your hands on the Exploit Glyph. Socket that into your tree and gather all the Strength in it's range.
