How it Plays
1) Start with
Rallying Cry to generate fury from
Tibault's Will
2) Use
Whirlwind and hold down the key-bind for it.
3) Use Shouts should not be used all at once.
Guttural Yell in your Skill Tree reduces damage that
enemies do when they are effected by Shouts.
4) Use
Iron Skin when you take heavy damage.
5) Do not spam
Whirlwind, make sure there are monsters around that you can hit or you will run out of Fury.
Fury is generated through Glyphs, Abilities, and Taking Damage
How it Works
Pure Whirlwind Damage
This build will be running on a Two-handed Mace set up. That means your Two-handed Mace will be selected for
Whirlwind. This will allow you to take advantage of
Heavy Handed and
Wallop

Offense
Whirlwind will be your main source of damage with this build. - Many sources of your damage will rely on having a lot of resource generation.
- Resource Generators:
Rallying Cry,
Wrath of the Berserker, Wrath Glyph,
Aspects that run off Fury
Conceited Aspect gives you increased damage while you have a Barrier. We will be getting Barrier from
Iron Skin
Vehement Brawler's Aspect gives you damage whenever you Cast your ultimate skill.
Aspect of the Dire Whirlwind will give you additional Critical Hit Chance and Critical Strike Damage as long as you are Channeling
Whirlwind.
Aspect of Earthquakes will give you additional damage for your
Whirlwind when you stand inside of an Earthquake and for 4 seconds after you leave that Earthquake. With
Igni sometimes the Earthquake will not be underneath you, so you'll need to
Whirlwind over the Earthquake to gain your buff.

Uniques
Gohr's Devastating Grips will make
Whirlwind explode every three second. This is reduced by .2 second every time
Whirlwind lands a Critical Strike. With enough Attack Speed and Critical Hit Chance you can explode and gain extra damage every one second, instead of three.
Tibault's Will is both offensive and defensive at the same time. It does provide Damage Reduction as well as the Unique Aspect gives you increased damage whenever you become Unstoppable. You'll gain the Unstoppable buff from
Wrath of the Berserker,
Iron Skin and
Rallying Cry. This damage increase lasts for the entire duration of your Unstoppable buff, and then stays active for 5 seconds after. This also restores 50 Fury every time you use it while you are NOT Unstoppable. If you are already Unstoppable and you use and ability that grants Unstoppable it does not restore and Fury.
Ramaladni's Magnum Opus is an incredibly strong unique if build correctly. It increases your damage by up to .5% per point of Fury you have. The Unique Aspect is the most important part of this weapon, followed by the Maximum Resources. On build that get close to 400 Fury this weapon offers 200% increased damage.
Rage of Harrogath has a chance to reset your Cooldowns every time you apply Bleed from
Whirlwind.
Mythic Uniques
Ring of Starless Skies adds damage to all of your abilities after you spend primary resources.
Heir of Perdition will be a great source of critical strike chance as well as a big source of multiplicative damage.
Found a Mythic and want to know if it's useable? Is this Mythic usable with my build video?
