// THIRD EDICT UPDATE //
everything about the build will work the same, just with
Perfect Strike dealing ~30% less dmg (but with MUCH more AoE.) this is not a huge deal, as most bosses were phased in MAX 10 hits, so, now, it will take 13.
I will update the passive trees accordingly, once we have the info
IGNORE Overpower - it has been RENAMED AND RETIERED (it is now "Stun" and a t2 support)
also, add in
Earthquake for single target, links are Fist of War and Brutality (or Lacerate)
and, yes -
Perfect Strike IS still worth using, however, it DOES feel like absolute booty butt cheeks (30% less dmg AND ~12% less attack speed)... if you REALLY hate using it, you can just use
Mace Strike lmao

This is a LEVELING guide for any Warrior Ascendancy.
It is NOT an "endgame" build guide - the intent is to get you through the campaign as efficiently as possible to then transition into whatever build you're actually playing.
If you don't have an endgame build in mind yet, consider checking out my FIREBRINGER: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/Woolie/builds/0-3-woolie-s-firebringer
// VERY IMPORTANT INFO //
If you feel you're not dealing enough damage / not clearing things well enough:
1) make sure you are NOT FULLY STUNNING packs w/
Rolling Slam /
Leap Slam
Brink support fully fixes this issue (t2; mid/late Act 3), until then, use a lower level skill gem
2) buy / craft a better 2h mace
if you're on trade league, I guarantee that you can buy a better weapon than your current one for only 1-2 exalts and, for SSF, check vendors constantly and don't be afraid to toss a few exalts on the best basetype available to you (preferably with 2 sockets)
Use the "Build Variants" tab to see different equipment, skill and passive tree breakdowns for various progression-points.
Refer to the "Video Guide" link (and PoB) if you're looking for more details.
