Equipment

  • Gladiator's Armor for the extra Energy.
  • Stonefist Gauntlets to lengthen knockdowns.

Usage

  • Use "For Great Justice!" at the beginning of the battle for a quick start of adrenaline.
  • Spam Irresistible Blow when Energy permits, aiming for enemies that Block or Evade attacks.
  • Knock down foes with Devastating Hammer followed by Crushing Blow, and then a second knockdown with Heavy Blow.
  • Apply "Watch Yourself!" as needed, to make up for the lost armor without a shield.

Counters

  • Blind and Weakness
  • Degeneration

Variants

  • Replace Healing Signet or "For Great Justice!" with condition removal, such as Mend Ailment or Purge Conditions.
  • Replace Devastating Hammer with Forceful Blow for additional conditions and damage.
  • Replace Crushing Blow with Counter Blow for an additional knock-down.
  • Replace "For Great Justice!" with Berserker Stance for an attack speed bonus while charging adrenaline, sacrificing the ability to use skills if you wish to recharge.
  • Irresistible Blow can be replaced by another fast-recharging attack, such as Power Attack.
  • Replacing "Watch Yourself!" with Endure Pain allows for more health in place of armor.
  • You may also want to replace Irresistible Blow with Fierce Blow.
