Cleaving Roar, Explosive Fury, Javelin Inferno, Flaming Arc, Phoenix Barrage, and Annihilating Slash are all effective for clearing waves of enemies or mobbing. Annihilation Blade and Piercing Attack can be used as a follow-up skill for extra damage.
Strategic Rush aids in mobbing and can reduce the cooldown of all skills when colliding targets via the Morale Boost passive. Bloodleech Aura, Unyielding Sentinel, and Counter Barrier are used for survivability.
Focus on leveling up Explosive Fury, Javelin Inferno, Flaming Arc, and Phoenix Barrage first since they are the build's primary damage skills, then go for Bloodleech Aura for sustainability. The rest can be prioritized based on preference.
Impenetrable, Resilient Mind, and Aegis Shield provide some durability and sustainability to the build.
Spectrum of Agony, Imposing Form, Fatal Precision, and Retaliatory Strike improves the build's damage.
Morale Boost enables faster cooldowns whenever Strategic Rush inflicts collision.
Focus on leveling up Spectrum of Agony, Imposing Form, and Fatal Precision first as they greatly improve the build's DPS, then go for Impenetrable and Aegis Shield for durability. The rest can be prioritized based on preference.
