Build Overview

Leveling build for Warrior. Works with any ascendancy, but we will start as Kitava for easier defenses on league start. Mechanics are super simple, place wall and BOOM! |
We start with Speedrunner version and talisman in offhand, but later switch into full power version.
Weapon sets - one for warcries, another goes for all other skills.
Build is separated by acts, it showcases character snapshot after each final boss fight, you can find full run and video guide here in links :)

How it Works

You put Shield Wall then Fortifying Cry or Infernal Cry or Shield Charge to BLOW THAT THING UP... Yeah thats it.

Ok. now a little bit more indepth.
Act 1 - Perfect Strike is way to go if you want juicy hit on Geonor...BUT! You can use "tech" that is not here in planner (i dont want to overcomplicate this) , since you got talisman.
Wind Blast + Rend - Prime boss for stun, Wind Blast him, use Rend once and you get +%as extra lightning, and this buff is massive at the start of the game. I played few test runs and was able to defeat Geonor before he signs poem in one combo by just Rolling Slam spam with this extra damage from Rend.

Act 2 - you will find Ferocious Roar on planner that empowers our warcry , also since we using talisman you can add Pounce to the mix for movement and socket Freezing Mark inside. By adding Mark for Death support, your phys damage will break armour, and therefore we will inflict ~20% more dmg, add +%as extra from Rend and since its %as lightnign we can SHOCK, for ~20% more dmg on top... well you see where it going :)
You will need Jeweler orb to add sockets to Pounce if you go this route, and you can find one by completing league mechanic in Burried Shrines (99% guaranteed as i tested).

Then you switch to Shield Wall and bunch of warcries to destroy it, Pounce also destroys wall if you wish...
And you need to make a choice, if you want to keep talisman at set2 or forget it.. Since it will block Fortifying Cry cry from set 2. I usually play with talisman till interludes, and then switch to only shield.
Thats basically it! ENJOY!
