To keep things simple while leveling and learning the spec, use the slider to select your level, and watch as the leveling rotation grows with each level!

Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!

When using our slider, note that some talents may appear sooner than you expect them to in the rotation. This is because we have two recommended builds above, each taking talents at slightly different times, and sometimes entirely different talents.

Starting at Level 1, you only have one active ability: Slam.

1. Cast Charge to initiate combat whenever possible.
2. Victory Rush activates whenever an enemy is killed. Use it to heal yourself.
3. Use Impending Victory to heal yourself when needed.
4. Cast Avatar to generate a bit of Rage and greatly increase your damage.
5. Cast Demoralizing Shout to reduce the damage you take, and increase the damage you deal (when using the Booming Voice talent).
6. Cast Shield Charge.
7. Cast Thunderous Roar.
8. Cast Ravager.
9. Cast Shield Slam to deal a lot of damage.
10. Cast Shield Slam to generate Rage and deal damage.
11. Cast Thunder Clap to generate Rage and deal damage, particularly during Avatar with Unstoppable Force talented.
12. Cast Execute when enemies are below 20% health.
13. Spend Rage on Whirlwind to damage multiple targets if you do not need to spend it on your active mitigation to survive.
14. Spend Rage on Revenge to damage multiple targets if you do not need to spend it on your active mitigation to survive.
15. Cast Devastate to fill empty global cooldowns, and reset the cooldown of Shield Slam.
16. Cast Slam as your filler spell.

Active Mitigation

• Cast Shield Block as much as possible when tanking something and taking heavy physical damage.
• Further smooth out your damage intake by spending Rage on Ignore Pain.
