Build Guide

This build features the 6pc Might of the Earth.

Overview

Might of the Earth has a great theme. Many people find the gameplay a little repetitive. It's not a reactive set, you follow a rotation with little variation. That being said, if you're into causing earthquakes and avalanches by stomping and shouting then this build will get the job done.

Gameplay

The rotation is simple. Start by casting War Cry and Battle Rage to get your buffs up and then use Ancient Spear: Boulder Toss to dump all of your Fury. From there you want to Leap 3 times followed by Threatening Shout and then Boulder Toss. That's it!

Alterations

The Might of the Earth is pretty stable right now. All of the supporting items are working well and the damage is consistent.

Disclaimer: All builds are Work in Progress. Please comment with suggestions for improvement.
