Damaging Skills

Whirlwind, Before casting this skill try your best to cap your fury, cast Warcry * WotB as to snapshot all the damage bonuses, as this will remain until you stop channeling Whirlwind.

Deathblow, Simply bonk elites and bosses that don't die to Whirlwind right away.

Wrath of the Berserker, Use this as max fury and then try to maintain Berserking for as long as possible as this will snapshot the increased damage from WotB.

Supporting Skills

Shouts Rallying when you need unstoppable or fury. Warcry before whirlwinding, Challenging Shout on tougher enemies.

Resistances

Resistances got changed at the start of Season 2 and are now an additive stat that reduces Elemental Damage taken, it caps out at 70% (up to 85% with paragon node, elixirs and incenses) and is subject to a penalty based off your current World Tier (-50% of your total for WT4) There are multiple ways to approach this but we'll go with the standard approach here:

• Main resistances - Fire/Lightning/Poison resistances capping: 3x60% singular resistance on Chest and boot (Items)
• Secondary resistances - Frost/Shadow resistances capping: ~=Rings/Amulet sub stat (Items), 2x30% gems + 1x5% Diamond Gem

Movement Speed

Movement speed will help you be faster, which is a core aspect of the game (farming Helltides, Events, running Nightmare dungeons, dodging traps...), it starts at 100% and caps at 200% and can be increased in two ways:

• Static movement speed source such as : Boots/Amulet affix (Items), Swiftness 3/3 (Skill tree)
• Dynamic movement speed source such as : Berserking (Buff), Rallying Cry (Skill), Wrath of the Berserker (Skill), Ghostwalker Aspect (Aspect)

Due to a change in how the passive Furious impulses works we can now overheal Temerity by simply spending fury.

When you also include the healing we receive from Raid leader it's now possible to maintain a barrier even through the toughest fights!

Not only does this provide incredible levels of defense but also open up the possibility to use powerful offensive aspects such as Conceited.
