 * Upon entering combat, carefully select a target and begin auto-attacking to build up adrenaline (Use a Furious Spear/Bow or a Wand to gain adrenaline when you can't get too close).
 * Knock Down moving foes with Bull's Strike.
 * Disrupt and knock down targets with Shock or create a knockdown-lock with Bull's Strike.
 * Spike targets with Eviscerate and Body Blow (or Executioner's Strike.)
 * Body Blow can also function as a second Deep Wound attack skill if your target is affected by Cracked Armor.
 * Use Frenzy to spike faster and/or increase the amount of pressure you're putting out.
 * Use Rush to chase kiting foes, cancel Frenzy, or as a simple movement speed buff.
 * Use Disrupting Chop at opportune moments to interrupt and disable skills (for example, use it as a Monk recovers from a knockdown).
 * Swap to appropriate weapon sets as necessary (Ebon when attacking another Warrior, etc.)
 * Resurrect allies when necessary.
