V. Basic Gameplay
Your main gameply begins when you are pushing into the enemy Zerg. Once you are near the enemie Zerg fill your adrenaline bar by using To the Limit, leap in with Savage Leap and use your Sword F1 Flurry to immobilize the enemies that are next to you. While moving inside the enemy zerg use your Hammer to spread heavy cc and damage. Use your Shouts to buff your allies and remove conditions from them. Use your Battle Standard if friendly troups are going down but watch your timing since it might be too late if you take too much time. Since you should have 1-2 Guards in your group you shouldn´t be forced to use the Dolyak Signet all that often. Use it as a possibilty to get out of an intense fight if you are catched by heavy cc.
If you are regrouping while a fight is still going on use Call to Arms to blast potential dropped Water Combo Fields.
