Usage[ | ]
The purpose of this build is to draw heavy aggro. You should be in the front and center of your group, focusing the enemies attention on you. Be sure to balance your Stances. Use Shield stance when under attack, but it your degeneration is more than -5, it is probably best to trigger resilience. Try to not to overwrite one stance with the other to optimize damage reduction.
Spam furious Axe as much as energy allows. Wait for all adren attacks to be charged, then spam attacks 1~5, then 1 should be recharged. (build ver. 1) Be sure to monitor your energy, always leave 5 in reserve for a stance. Remember that Melandrus gives +1 ene regen per hex/condition.
Counters[ | ]
Heavy slow downs, life stealing, or focused spikes.
