Open ended question I know. But can you guys point me to a couple different ones? I love whirlwind to blow through crowds. But I don’t see game-changer essences for it. Any suggestions? I’m about 50 away from 400 (where I assume I will get to pick a free unlock of 1 essence?)
you can look through them all, pick the one you think would benefit your build the most
Yes, stop using whirlwind.
Switch to HOTA and see your damage skyrocket.
Thank you! Interesting.
Which HOTA essences? I’ve been using the summon an ancient one … But more for a decoy. Lol!
Legendary gear
Helm - Krubask’s Sneer
Chest - Renitent Rage
Shoulders - Skull Motte
Legs - Snowdrifter
Primary Main Hand - Frigid Grin
Primary Off Hand - Roar of Persuasion
Secondary Main Hand - Stonefall
Secondary Off Hand - Flickertonne
Alternative for the primary off hand is Sundered Legacy (gives more damage but no life steal / self healing).
Abilities
Lacerate
Sprint
Hammer of the Ancients
Cleave
Wrath of the Berserker
Set itms
4 Vithu
4 Prayer for Endwinter
Keep up Sprint, Cleave and WotB, and spam that HOTA button.
The chill aura from the legs means everything in melee range will be chilled, which means the rime axes from the cleave is freezing them, which gives you the 30% damage bonus from the Endwinter set pieces. The Vithus pieces means your Sprint, Cleave and WotB last longer (from the 2 piece) and your Hammers are faster (from the 4 piece).
