Axe of the Heavens from thordan ex

As OT, I don't gain stacks pre pull, since I'm not one to ask for ensuna, eye combo, butchers combo,heavy swing as floor AoEs appear, TRIPLE FC stuffs, finish eye, fracture , pacified as gaze casts, brutal swing facing away, I usually sit 1500 1700 as phase changes , as Mt 1200 unchained into deliv

I've played a lot around with it, and found the following opening to be my personal favorite. If you don't have the skill speed to do 9 actions in your berserk, skip Fracture.

Heavy Swing > Brutal Swing >>
Maim (1) >>
Storm's Eye (2) >>
Heavy Swing >>
Skull Sunder (3) > Internal Release >>
Butchers Block (4) > Potion of Strength >>
Heavy Swing > Berserk (5!!) >>
Fell Cleave (Yay!) > Infuriate (5!!) >>
Fell Cleave (Yay!) > Raw Intuition (1) >>
Maim (2) > Vengeance (3) >>
Storm's Eye (4) >>
Fracture >>
Heavy Swing > Brutal Swing >>
Skull Sunder (5!!) >>
Fell Cleave (Yay!) >>
Butchers Block -- Pacified

I always used fracture last, in the event of latency I am gauranteed to get the last BB out before pacification and still have a chance at fracture. But then again, I would double up my oGCD pushes and go STR pot > Berserk > and then proceed with the same combo. Why? because heavy swing is a 150 potency and skull sunder is a 200 combo potency and under the influence of Berserk.

yeah, my original rotation was ending with fracture, only IF there was enough time before pacification. I could totally see why you would want to use it before spending 5 stacks on Fell cleave now, however with my skill speed, it's so very tight, that i'm always afraid I won't get the third cleave if I use fracture first.

In thordan ex as warrior off tank u should build up two stacks before pull because u want to cleave then infuriate and cleave again asap so that infuriate comes back before the 1st phase ends.. the goal is to get to 69% or watever and push him into the next phase. A triple fell cleave will make infuriate be on cd too long. Also u don't wanna make ur geoup wait that long since u only have 50 minutes, so say 15 seconds before pull u pop raw intuition then vengance then do ur double cleave hopefully getting them off under trick attack. Use raw intuition the second it's bak usually for a 5th stak then double cleave wth infuriate again before phase ends. Do ur main tank a favor and when ur on his ass in aggro dont butchers blok when u know u mite jump him in aggro. Reset eye or path.
