Notes that apply by 40

  • Levels 10–19: Cruelty then Unbridled Wrath. Rage is normalized now, so Heroic Strike every other swing is fine.
  • Level 20: Piercing Howl is your snare for runners and your escape in PvP. Victory Rush (trained at 20) heals 10% after each kill; chain pulls.
  • Level 31: Death Wish, then Reckless Swings for a Rage burst on big pulls. Bloodthirst at 40 once you have 30 points in Fury.
