Play Style
Pre-buff with Battle Command → Battle Orders → Shout. Teleport (Enigma) or Leap into packs, hold Whirlwind and spin through everything. Find Item (Hork) on corpses for bonus drops. Incredibly satisfying to carve through density.
Mercenary
Act 2 Offensive (Might Aura) for physical damage boost. Insight for convenience (Barb has high mana from BO). Can also use Reaper's Toll for Decrepify proc on Physical Immunes.
