Play guide

How the build plays

How to play it

Apply Bleeding with Lacerate, activate Sprint and Wrath of the Berserker for their movement and damage benefits, then maintain Whirlwind while moving through nearby enemies. Preserve Undying Rage for lethal pressure or the point where its Exulted Demise shield can support the damage window.

Rotation & priority
  • 1. Activate Sprint before engaging or moving between packs.
  • 2. Apply Bleeding with Lacerate.
  • 3. Activate Wrath of the Berserker near a Bleeding target.
  • 4. Channel Whirlwind and keep moving to generate energy through Flurry Flumes.
  • 5. Use Undying Rage defensively or to sustain an aggressive damage window.
  • 6. Reapply Lacerate when Bleeding needs to be refreshed.
Positioning

Keep moving while Whirlwind is active so Flurry Flumes can generate energy, and remain close enough to a Bleeding enemy for Falling Thunder's Wrath of the Berserker interaction.
