Gem Priority

+10

First spirit gem from Act 1 is War Banner as it is getting INSANE buffs.

Extra spirit from Act 3 Witch boss is used for better HP sustain Cannibalism which is amazing as well as Herbalism OR you can get Herald of Ash for better AoE.

Sunder for single target damage but you need to break armor for full potential through Splinter once you get access to it and put into Rolling Slam.

Skill ROTATION down below in How it plays.

Passive Tree

main:

123

set 1:

set 2:

Tree can be altered to your liking as you level depending on gear to go more defensive for example.

Grabbing skill speed nodes early on will help with overall speed but mainly mana sustain. Then you want to rush Resolute Technique so you dont have to worry about accuracy as much.

How it Plays

1. Rolling Slam - your opener to trigger Primed for stun (white glowing ball)

2. Boneshatter - make everything explode once Heavy stun is triggered from 1.

3. Mace Strike - to finish mobs/bosses off

5. Infernal Cry - always use for 1. single target.

6. Shield Charge - for mobility and to go fast as it no longer has cool down

7. Sunder - single target boss damage

You also want to roll dodge in between attacks quite often to avoid being STUN locked when surrounded by more enemies or avoid hits in boss fights.
