Equipment

• Sentinel's or Survior's Insignias
• Zealous Scythe of Fortitude
• Non-Zealous Weapon
• Best Runes of Absorption and Vigor as Possible.
• Rune of Clarity.

Usage

• Maintain Warrior's Endurance and Aura of Holy Might during battle.
• Use your attack skills as often as possible.
• Use "Save Yourselves!" to maintain a high amount of armor on your team.

Counters

• Blind, Weakness and Anti-Melee Hexes will shut down this build.
• Stance removal and Enchantment removal can both lower this build's damage dealing capabilities.

Variants

Optional Skills:

• Body Blow for a hard-hitting adrenal based attack skill (and a possible source of DW).
• Enraging Charge to charge "Save Yourselves!"
• Whirlwind Attack for AoE damage and massive energy gain.
• Rending Touch for Removing key enchantments.
• Wild Blow to Remove blocking stances, keep in mind it makes you lose all adrenaline.
• Pious Assault to inflict Deep Wound. Keep in mind it'll remove any enchantment on you. It would be wise not to equip any enchantment skills.
• Resurrection Signet/Sunspear Rebirth Signet for obvious reasons.
• Distracting Blow/Distracting Strike to interrupt key skills.
• "Dodge This!" against Blocking and additional damage.
• "I Am The Strongest!" for additional damage.
• Asuran Scan to increase damage against one target.
• Feel No Pain for increased survivabilty.
• Great Dwarf Armor for an armor buff.
• Warrior's Cunning for temporary unblockable attacks.
• Club of a Thousand Bears for AoE KD.
• Brawling Headbutt for non-AoE KD.

Notes

• Contrary to the skill description of Aura of Holy Might, it raises your damage rating rather than your damage percent. For example, at rank 5, it increases your damage rating by 25. This effectively adds 54% damage to every attack.
• Aura of Holy Might changes your damage to holy so using an elemental mod on your weapon will not take effect.
