Required Items:
- 6 pieces of Armor of Akkhan set
- Unrelenting Phalanx (equipped)
- Warhelm of Kassar (equipped)

How to play:
1. Use Phalanx to kill enemies.
2. Use Akarat's Champion as often as possible.
3. Use Steed Charge to move around.
4. Use Laws of Valor to reduce Wrath costs for a few seconds.
5. Use Iron Skin to reduce incoming damage.
6. Use Shield Glare to blind enemies.

My opinion:
Phalanx (Stampede) is a very fun skill and unfortunately very weak. You can play Torment 10 pretty easy with not even decent equipment.
Efficiency wise, it's not recommend to play this build. Akkhan's Addendum (weapon) is highly recommend, because of the additional Wrath regeneration you gain with Akarat's Champion.
Very fun build, unfortunately too weak.

Best Regards
Deso
