Notes

FAQ

TRAUMA GAINS 1 STACK PER ATTACK (worded so it doesn't stack multiple times with multistrike basically)

30 STACKS? HOW?
	-Trauma support lasts for 6.9 seconds, boneshatter trauma lasts for 6 seconds
	-We scale duration on the tree (45%)
	-4.55(attack speed)*10(duration of stacks) = 45 trauma stacks 
	-If you are killing yourself with damage, take Leech Recoup mastery!

DIVERGENT BLOOD RAGE + WARLORD'S MARK FOR ATTACK LEECH
	-before then you can grab the leech near duelist or annoint clever thief

DEFENSIVE OPTIONS
	-Fourth Vow + Divine Flesh
	-Eternal Damnation + very high Armor Glorious (probably preferable?)
	-I don't think Loreweave is worth it on Juggernaut

WHY NO CHILL MASTERY?
	-Glacial Hammer already chills

YOU FREEZE BOSSES 100% WITH GLACIAL HAMMER
	-390% more freeze on gem
	-100% more freeze from new ruthless
	-lots of freeze duration on gem
	-heatshiver will be 100% uptime
	-some bosses have a minimum action speed that they can be reduced too - in this case they are considered frozen if you deal enough damage / enough freeze damage for heatshiver

HOW DO YOU GET RAGE?
	-Cwdt Warlord's Mark
	-It goes off constantly with no CD because you deal self damage
	-Stunning mobs give you a constant source of rage while mapping
	
RAGE TECH
	-Vengeance(alt quality even more) + Rage + Self-hit from trauma to generate rage

ROTBLOOD(ring) + CHAINS OF EMANCIPATION(belt)
	-Turn curse on/off to generate 50 rage per cast
	-Allows you to run Berserk

-MANA RINGS
	-mana rings solves most of your mana cost later
	-early on you can run the 30% life cost mastery to help

INVERT MASTERY
	-Very good if you aren't using curses + exposure
	-Scales really well with Pen and is very nice early

TRINTY+ HEATSHIVER OR COLD PEN OR FASTER ATTACKS
	-trinity works as long as you are able to freeze
	-as mentioned above you always freeze, so therefore trinity should be up 100% of the time	
	-before heatshiver you use cold pen over trinity
	-Faster attacks might *FEEL* better for mapping and be similar dps

WHY NO MULSTRIKE?
	-it doesn't apply trauma on the subsequent attacks (only the first attack applies trauma)
	-big trauma loss and ends up being a bad link

PANOPTICON
	-makes buff uptime way more consistent and you can put them down while mapping for linger
	-this is very good for making totems tankier also

LEVELING
	-You can take melee phys nodes at start and use Ground Slam into Sunder
	-PRECISE TECHNIQUE if you can make it work! (hinekora's sight helps early on if you can grab one)
	-Ideally you don't go Glacial Hammer until you get Tribal Fury + Call to Arms (for Ancestral Cry)

2H LEVELING
	-Better before you get uniques
	-Switch to 1H if you get Frostbreath or Brightbeak
	-2H mace early on, ideally Piledriver base (Mallet, Sledgehammer, Steelhead ect) the fast one

CLUSTER JEWEL to replace fortify nodes end-game
	-overlord gives fortify on hit	
	-the other notables are all very big

SELF CHILL ENDGAME?
	-Call of the Void + Winterweave would give self-chill to this build which scales trauma stacks really nicely
	-Will need some mana reservation to fix mana on boots or jewels
	-Remove Thick Skin (avoid ailments)

FROSTBEAK
	-Dualwielding Frostbreath + Brightbeak instead of using a shield will drastically increase attack speed + trauma stacks
	-You will need to obviously mitigate the damage with stuff like Arctic Armor and endurance charges + phys taken as ele

REPLICA FROSTBREATH WORKS AS A TEMP ITEM IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IN SSF

BEFORE YOU USE TRAUMA**
	-Make sure you take INexorable node (endurance charges) + Determination and Untiring Ascendancy node

ASCENDANCY ORDER
	-Undeniable first to fix accuracy and attack speed, also makes it easy to get Precise Technique
	-Untiring to fit in Trauma Support
	-Unstoppable or Unbreakable, unstoppable for stun/freeze immune or unbreakable for some mitigation
