Build Description

This build contains one or more skills that have been changed because of skill updates. This may cause an increase or decrease in the build's performance, so check the skill descriptions carefully. If this is your build, editing it will remove this message.

Pure knockdown build, with some added damage potential and no self healing (unless you can sacrifice rez). Prime Signet of Strength before battle, then Enraging Charge to close on your target. Once you have hit your target (and you no longer are in a stance), use "For Great Justice", Signet of Aggression, and Berserker Stance. With the effects of FGJ on Enraging Charge and the signet, BB is now charged so put your foes down. Now swing away while spamming Signet of Aggression until Backbreaker is charged again (won't be long) then use it followed by "On Your Knees". Your stances are now recharged (though your shout will not be). Go through the chain repeatedly to keep your target on the ground.

If you want more knockdown potential and don't need a resurrect, replace Signet of Return with Brawling Headbutt or "You Move Like a Dwarf" in PvE, or any knockdown skill that does not include "lose all adrenaline" in its description for PvP.
