Trait Details
If going against condition build, can swap Destruction of the Empowered for Brawler's recovery since it does not affect damage that much. The usage of merciless hammer and burst mastery is debatable since both are very good. Merciless hammer is better against power build while burst mastery is better against condition builds. Since you have a lot of CC, you can apply an constant amount of bleed and weakness to your enemy. If you use To the Limit to heal instead of healing signet, you can swap out Peak Performance for Restorative Strength.

V. Basic Gameplay
For this build, you must constantly stick close to your opponent. This build excels in small area combat so it is suggested to fight at places with some obstacles. You should avoid open environment since you cannot block your enemy's attack. You want to keep your opponent fight in your fire field since you will get a lot of fire field combo and fire does A LOT of damage at the same time. By sticking close to your opponent, your fan of fire will apply 3 stacks of burning to your opponent. The first time you interrupt your opponent, you apply 9 stacks of confusion to your enemy. Enemy hitting you one or two time will also get an addition 3 stack of confusion for a total of 12 stacks of confusion. Since you have a total 4 ways to CC your opponent, you will always be applying 2 stacks of bleed and weakness to them from body blow trait.
Main Skill Rotation
By sticking close to your enemy and making them stay within your fire field, you can keep blasting the fire field with Arcing Arrow and Earthshaker for mights. Always be very observant of your enemy. If your enemy uses 100 blade, those are the best time to interrupt them. Using bullscharge to close in on your enemy(2bleed), swap(3bleed), then unleash your hammer skill while keeping them constantly CC'd to ensure maximum damage from hammer trait.
