Notes

TERMS:
-CoR = Cleave of Rage
-Newb = noob
-TT = Talkative Tri



DISCLAIMERS:
-This is my first POB/build. Sorry if it's rough cut.
-This is NOT as smooth as other starters, but I am adamant on its fun.
-This is a MELEE-SCALING build, it relies on lots of button presses to do damage (totems, berserk, warcries, etc).
-This was SLIGHTLY NERFED in 3.24 with the change to CoR, about 30% less area of effect.



LEVELING TREE:
-Go Ground Slam, Sunder, then Boneshatter. Only swap to CoR when you get the transfigured gem. Do NOT use Cleave, it'll be painful.
-Look for high phys two-handers during leveling, only swap to dual-wielding once you get CoR.
-You are NOT a crit build right now. Do not take those nodes and ignore those affixes. If you do not want to path to Precise Technique, don't need to stack lots of accuracy.




LOW BUDGET ENDGAME
-You are now using CoR.
-You are NOT crit-based yet.
-Get a Redblade Banner AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. It makes building up rage for CoR way smoother.
-Rigwald's Savagery + Varunastra are both super cheap and common on league start, Bear's Girdle is likely going to be the most expensive item for now (it comes from the bear Harvest boss).
-Remember to get a MEDIUM RING Thread of Hope. Don't accidentally buy a large or small one.





MID-BUDGET ENDGAME
-Only swap to this tree when you have swapped from non-crit to crit.
-REMEMBER TO NOT BUY A SAVIOUR WITH RESOLUTE TECHNIQUE. I did this and was totally scammed out of 7 divines in Affliction.





HIGH BUDGET ENDGAME
-Not much is changed with the tree here, it's just item upgrades at this point.
-You can really invest into this build for HUGE damage and bigger defenses with Juggernaut Forbidden Flames/Fleshes.
