Notes[edit]
- Due to Heart of Fury's 6 second recharge and 7 second duration, there will be approximately a 3 second downtime between usage. Remember that in order to successfully complete your chain, you need to have the increased attack speed from Heart of Fury for the entire chain. As a result, you may use it to build adrenaline, but take note of the recharge.
- Binding Rending Aura to a custom mouse key will make your life much easier.
- Completely spiking a foe who is kiting is rather difficult with the 3 second knockdown, although it is possible.
- Consider when it may be more worthwhile to build Reaper's Sweep with a scythe rather than daggers, and vice versa. Scythes award adrenaline for every hit (up to 3 adjacent targets in front of you), whereas daggers generally build faster when balled foes aren't available.
- Building on a scythe generally deals slightly more pressure than building on daggers, with the possibility of increased pressure due to hitting multiple targets.
- With this bar, you have absolutely no reason not to completely destroy anyone who tries to body block your team. No reason. Absolutely none.
