Just in case you forgot, these are your Virtues:

美德启发 grants Might, Regeneration or Protection
决心美德 grants Resolution
美德激励 grants +10% Damage for six seconds.
Keep high uptime on your Symbols to activate traits from Zeal:
Following these rules is the key to maximizing Damage on this build.
- Maintain high uptime on Symbols for Damage and Vulnerability application
- Use Blinds and Blocks or Aegis for defense.
无伤斗魂 provides a Damage boost assuming you have Aegis. Your main source of Aegis is 
"前进！".
Dealing Damage
Always engage with Sword and then swap to Hammer and follow the priority rotation.
Follow this skill priority on your Hammer:
- Auto Attack
- Auto Attack
- Auto Attack
Yes, that is it.
Besides that, your Hammer has good control skills such as:
狂徒束缚 to Immobilize enemies
驱逐重击 to Launch enemies and then use 
奋力锤击 to teleport to them
守护之环 to stop enemies from running away.
Follow this skill priority on your Sword:
Try not to interrupt Auto Attack chains on Sword if you ever get stuck on this set.
Generate Might via 狂热节杖 and 
强化力量.
Use "怒气冲天！" off Cooldown to give yourself Fury and Quickness. You can also generate additional Fury via 
利刃符印.
Remember that you generate Vulnerability by fighting enemies inside your Symbols due to 
揭露符印.
Defense
愤怒护盾 can be used to Block the next three incoming attacks.
You can also gain Aegis via "前进！" and 
勇气美德.
Dodging will Heal and grant you Vigor due to 
活力精准 and 
无私英勇.
Your Symbols will also Heal due to 
坚毅令状.
决心美德 is a strong Heal and will cleanse two conditions.
愤怒祷词 is an incredibly strong Heal Skill if you continue doing Damage while it's active. Learning how to use this skill to the fullest will be the key to your survival in difficult situations.
