Notes

Leveling

1-12
Use Splitting Steel, Onslaught, Chance to Bleed in a 3-link. (look for a Longsword, and then a Woodsplitter ideally)
	-Useful Gems early
		-Warbanner and Ancestral Protector at level 4
		-Frostblink early, and add Leap Slam at level 8
		-Precision should be used for Accuracy

12+ Volcanic Swap
Use Volcanic Fissure, Onslaught (until Hatchet Master on tree is acquired), Elemental Damage with Attacks, and Added Fire. (Trinity is best whenever we can get it working with Hatred+Cold Mastery)
	-Intimidating Cry(lvl10) can be used early until we get Infernal Cry (lvl24)
	-Blood Rage and Herald of Ash should be used at level 16
	-Determination should be used as soon as possible, but mana might be a problem until you reach mana reservation nodes.





LAB ORDER: First to Strike Last to Fall (if you plan on self-proccing adrenaline, you take this first, if not you take this last), Unstoppable Hero, Fortitude, then Inspirational (this is when you can use Defiance Banner for free)
PANTHEONS: Arakaali (Champion struggles with dots, this should help it slightly) and Garukhan (shock reduction is always nice if we are not shock immune) 

NOTES: 

**You can self proc Adrenaline with Corrupting Fever on weapon swap (we struggle with gem links)

**ACCURACY AND PRECISE TECHNIQUE this build requires significant accuracy on gear to run Precise Technique later on, early on Precision + some accuracy nodes should work throughout the campaign however.

**Adajacent Animosity / Slower Projectiles might end up being necessary to overlap all the balls - hard to say without having access to the skill gem.

**We are currently using Molten Strike to simulate the DPS, this is not 100% accurate (molten strike has flat) But I tried to take this into account by using 1 less projectile (Volcanic Fissure has 1 more projectile)
	-20% LESS attack speed in Config is to simulate this as well

**A LOT OF BUTTONS you can drop Smite, and Vaal Smite if this looks too intimidating, and you can left click Warcry as well as Sniper's Mark + Mark on Hit
