Notes

Key Changes Teased so far (this is pre-patch notes so more will likely change):
- No changes to the skill gem or the gear used in this build.  Inclusion of Mercs will only serve to Buff this skill.

Key Notes:
- Moderate scaling skill and easily workable
- Campaign completion time on League start without any leveling gear will be around 11-12 hours
- Always keep upgrading your Axe early on
- Focus on capping resistances ASAP before getting to endgame maps for a much more defensive experience
- Mana sustain is achieved by using clarity reserved to life using arrogance; this should overcome any mana issues early on if you are running into a bottleneck

LEVELING GUIDE:

\\ACT1:

- Leveling using Ground Slam from Lvl 1; Equip a 2 handed axe 
- Equip Precision Aura
- Equip Blood and Sand Aura
- Equip Clarity
- Equip Vitality
- Equip Enduring Cry (self trigger when needed)
- Equip Leap Slam

\\ACT 2:

- Equip Seismic Cry to the Build
- Remove Precision once you equip the eagle eye mastery node

\\ACT 3:
- Equip Sunder to the build once available
- Equip Infernal Cry

\\ACT 4:
- Make sure you Ascend asap; take Tasalio
- You can now add in Clarity and reserve Life instead of Mana with Arrogance to sustain mana

\\ACT 5:
- Add in Assassins Mark now (Assassins Mark + Mark on Hit + Life Tap) to start marking enemies and increasing damage against them in in preparation for "Marked for Death" on skill tree
- Rebalance Aura's to the following (drop all other auras):
- Bloods and Sand
- Determination
- Vitality
- Clairty + arrogance

\\ACT 6:
- Aim to add in Infernal Cry + Autoexertion; you may need to drop an aura from the build to do this if you do not yet have champion of the cause

\\ACT 7:
- Acend and pick up Sione; this will give you infinite warcry power which will ramp up damage

\\ACT 8:
- No adjustments, just keep leveling; look for better axes as you go.

\\ACT 9:
- No adjustments, just keep leveling; look for better axes as you go.
- If you are not level 65 by the end of Act 9; farm Blood Aquaduct until you reach lvl 65 as you will be under level for Act 10 and you will have some issues in the last act of the game before you reach mapping where you to progress 
gear much more easily with mapping drops and currency
- Ascend again going for 'Tukohama, War's Herald''

\\ACT 10:
- Focus on maxing out resistances at this stage
- Progress through the Act10 - Early Mapping trees


Final Acendencey one you obtain an offering of the goddess from maps:
Valako

\\Beyond T3 Mapping:
- refer to the endgame tree and build towards this; this will be a gradual process; as I will be playing this build, I will be releasing updates on the build as I progress it through endgame
