Basic Battleaxe Build
I've played this build a ton and seen it over and over in YouTube as well as in opponents in CD. It's just what a new player should look for: Tons of sustain with Mercendary Jacket, Soldier Boots, and Battleaxe E, a safe and reliable defensive to ensure you can always mount up in the Guardian Helmet, and steady damage from the Axe and Torch. Martlock cape is as basic as it gets, offering more life when you need it with zero effort. If you can't afford it (it's the only pricy thing in the build) a beach towel plain cape will work fine too. The only problem with this build is you'll have to switch out the items once they reach 100 😅 More notes: - When roaming in lethal zones keep invisibility potion handy in case you need to get away, but the poison is a good swap for tough bosses. When I expect a PVP fight, I equip a health potion. - Rending Rage (Q3) takes forever to unlock, use Q2 until you get there - Soldier boots can be any plate boots, though the most likely swap from Rejuvenating Sprint (all plate boots) is Wanderlust, so you might as well have Soldier boots leveled up first. - Of course when it comes to Battleaxe E, avoid using the second healing throw unless you really need the health, or it will for sure kill the enemy. The extra cooldown time of using the second throw isn't worth it just for damage in the middle of a fight.
