generaldungeon
15 Arms36 Fury0 Protection

Strengths

  • Off-hand support

  • Hit and rage tools

Trade-offs

  • Death Wish increases incoming damage
  • Off-hand investment assumes dual wielding

Key talents

How to Choose

Pick the role and weapon you actually use. A shield unlocks Protection’s conditional effects; a second weapon makes Fury’s off-hand points relevant. The leveling plan assumes a two-handed weapon. Check the talent reference for inferred ranks before relying on a numerical bonus.
