Skill Bar

Weapon Variants

Spear and Greatsword deal almost identical damage, with Greatsword being easier but Spear having a slight lead in damage and the advantage of range. You can use whichever you prefer.

  • Greatsword is the best replacement for Spear for players that don't own Janthir Wilds.
  • You could keep the offset for utility weapons such as:
    • Mace (in either hand) for CC
    • Warhorn to provide 迅捷 图标迅捷 in the event you don't have it from your supports
    • Rifle or Longbow for ranged damage (if you don't have access to Spear)
    • If using any of these options, just camp Axe/Axe for damage. Axe/Mace does enough damage to swap to (see below for video example).

Skill Variants

  • 投掷链锤 图标投掷链锤 or 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋 can replace 怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流. This will provide more burst DPS through 巅峰表现 图标巅峰表现 (assuming you don't stun yourself), but will be lower DPS long-term so you'll need to know what your phase times will be. Therefore this is more viable in fractals than in raids.

Equipment Variants

  • If not using Spear, 潜行者古物 图标潜行者古物 is the best relic.
  • In encounters where the boss does not get stunned, you can replace the 超级冲击法印 图标超级冲击法印 with a 超级空气法印 图标超级空气法印 on the Axe and a 超级水能法印 图标超级水能法印 on the Greatsword or Spear.
    • This will be a small DPS increase, but particularly on Spear it makes the rotation more reliable by providing additional sources of adrenaline.

Beginner Rotation

Click to View

The full rotation for Power Berserker is very fast paced and relies heavily on hitting certain skills off cooldown to avoid dropping out of Berserk. By camping axe, you can use your rage skills earlier, making it easier to maintain Berserk. Additionally, as you no longer weapon swap you can switch Discpline for Tactics:

Opener

  1. 头槌重击 图标头槌重击
  2. 狂暴 图标狂暴
  3. 怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流
  4. 斩首 图标斩首

Due to the lack of 斧系专精 图标斧系专精, adrenaline takes longer to build up so use the following combos to reach full adrenaline for 斩首 图标斩首 (listed in priority order):

  1. 头槌重击 图标头槌重击怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流 (if you had 稳固 图标稳固 then you don't need the stunbreak from Outrage and can 斩首 图标斩首 immediately after Head Butt)
  2. 怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流
  3. 鲜血清算 图标鲜血清算
  4. 蛮力打击 图标蛮力打击 + 旋风斧斩 图标旋风斧斩 + 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷 + 双重打击 图标双重打击
  5. 回旋斧斩 图标回旋斧斩
  6. 旋风斧斩 图标旋风斧斩 + 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷 + full auto chain

In fights with longer phases, the lack of adrenaline means you should swap 威能纹章 图标威能纹章 for 裂岩怒击 图标裂岩怒击. This makes it easy to stay in Berserk as long as there is a target to hit, and also provides you with more adrenaline generation. In this case your opener is:

Opener

  1. 裂岩怒击 图标裂岩怒击
  2. 头槌重击 图标头槌重击
  3. 狂暴 图标狂暴
  4. 斩首 图标斩首

And your combo list is:

  1. 怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流
  2. 鲜血清算 图标鲜血清算
  3. 蛮力打击 图标蛮力打击 + 旋风斧斩 图标旋风斧斩 + 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷 + 双重打击 图标双重打击
  4. 裂岩怒击 图标裂岩怒击头槌重击 图标头槌重击
  5. 回旋斧斩 图标回旋斧斩
  6. 旋风斧斩 图标旋风斧斩 + 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷 + full auto chain

Spear Rotation

The rotation aims to get as many casts of 斩首 图标斩首 off as possible, maintaining 狂暴 图标狂暴 mode for as long as there is something to hit. Effectively, this means that while on Axe/Axe you cast 斩首 图标斩首 followed by a combination of skills that gets you back to 10 Adrenaline to recast 斩首 图标斩首.

Using Spear efficiently requires more precision than other weapons. 重伤之矛 图标重伤之矛 and 鹞鹰投掷 图标鹞鹰投掷 deal extra damage to the target closest to the centre of their AoEs, and 破坏投掷 图标破坏投掷 and 长矛猛击 图标长矛猛击 do increased CC to the first target they hit. Additionally, if skills are not used fast enough or at the correct time, it can disrupt later parts of the rotation.

Opener

  1. 烈阳支援 图标烈阳支援 - if the boss is not immediately targetable, move this to after Wild Throw
  2. 头槌重击 图标头槌重击
  3. 狂暴 图标狂暴
  4. 怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流
  5. 狂野投掷 图标狂野投掷
  6. 重伤之矛 图标重伤之矛
  7. 破坏投掷 图标破坏投掷 - extends 克达之爪古物 图标克达之爪古物 duration over the axe section
  8. Weapon Swap Weapon Swap
  9. 斩首 图标斩首
  10. 旋风斧斩 图标旋风斧斩
  11. 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷
  12. 斩首 图标斩首
  13. 双重打击 图标双重打击
  14. 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷
  15. 斩首 图标斩首
  16. 回旋斧斩 图标回旋斧斩 - make sure to let the entire attack finish!
  17. 斩首 图标斩首
  18. 旋风斧斩 图标旋风斧斩
  19. Weapon Swap Weapon Swap

Spear Section

On the very first loop after the opener, Disrupting Throw will not be immediately available, so use it between the two Wild Throws

  1. 重伤之矛 图标重伤之矛
  2. 破坏投掷 图标破坏投掷 - Wild Throw will interrupt the cast of this skill if you use it too early so be careful
  3. 怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流
  4. 狂野投掷 图标狂野投掷
  5. 鲜血清算 图标鲜血清算 - this will not interrupt Wild Throw so you can queue it during the cast of the previous skill
  6. 狂野投掷 图标狂野投掷
  7. 烈阳支援 图标烈阳支援
  8. 重伤之矛 图标重伤之矛
  9. Weapon Swap Weapon Swap

Axe/Axe Section

You have a brief window after swapping weapon where the damage from 烈阳支援 图标烈阳支援 is still ticking. This allows you to use 斩首 图标斩首 immediately and then again after a single 旋风斧斩 图标旋风斧斩. If you're too slow, use a single auto to gain the missing adrenaline.

  1. 斩首 图标斩首
  2. 旋风斧斩 图标旋风斧斩
  3. 斩首 图标斩首
  4. 双重打击 图标双重打击
  5. 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷
  6. 斩首 图标斩首
  7. 头槌重击 图标头槌重击怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流
  8. 斩首 图标斩首
  9. 旋风斧斩 图标旋风斧斩
  10. 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷
  11. 斩首 图标斩首
  12. 回旋斧斩 图标回旋斧斩
  13. 斩首 图标斩首
  14. 旋风斧斩 图标旋风斧斩
  15. 双重打击 图标双重打击
  16. 斩首 图标斩首
  17. 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷 (optional) - if your target is below 25% health, this is worth using
  18. Weapon Swap Weapon Swap

General Tips

Axe

  • If you have trouble memorising the Axe section, it may be helpful to think of it as a priority list to build adrenaline for your next 斩首 图标斩首:
  1. 头槌重击 图标头槌重击 + 怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流
  2. 旋风斧斩 图标旋风斧斩 + 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷
  3. 双重打击 图标双重打击 + 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷
  4. 回旋斧斩 图标回旋斧斩

Berserk

  • All your Rage and Burst skills extend the duration of Berserk, which means it is important to use them as soon as they are available to avoid dropping out of Berserk.
  • If you drop out of Berserk, you should already be at full adrenaline when it is next available, so you use 头槌重击 图标头槌重击怒气涌流 图标怒气涌流 after entering Berserk instead. This means your second Berserk has a longer duration and is (even) easier to maintain.
  • Generally you shouldn't be auto-attacking while 狂暴 图标狂暴 mode is active.

Outside of Berserk

  • Ideally you are always in Berserk during DPS phases.
  • Stay on Axe when you're not in Berserk, but as 斩首 图标斩首 isn't available you should just use your Axe skills as they come off cooldown.
  • Try to complete your Axe auto chains when not in Berserk.
  • Do not use your rage skills whilst outside of Berserk.
  • Use 狂暴 图标狂暴 as soon as it is available.
