Build Guide

My goal for this build is to stack frenzy and hang out at max fury. With the improvements to charge it feels much more powerful both as an attack and an escape.

Unforgiving is only there to prevent lose of fury between packs, ensuring you keep that 25% damage buff at all times from BR. If you don't have trouble keeping fury high then you can drop it for something else. Right now it's working for me as I try to actually get all of this gear lol

I'm liking this build as fire: Frenzy rune is fire, FC is whatever you like choose with the set, CotA get bonus fire damage, fire Rend is pretty nice at hitting things that are running away. With just a couple of pieces of +Fire skill gear you can push that fire damage up high enough to keep the damage potential high.

With rend, it can always be cast at maximum fury so you only ever miss one or 2 frenzy hits below the threshold of BR. You will always have max fury again before it expires and with Lamentation you can keep the damage rolling really high if you need to step out of something on the ground.

Depth Diggers are insane! so much frenzy damage especially if you keep yourself at 10 stacks. o.O

Good times will be had. Have fun, get furious!
