    2% of your damage
  3. Maul Rank 3 Spare rage

    Spend spare rage on it.

    13% of your damage
  4. Auto attack All the time

    85% of your damage

The first 30 seconds

When to press each one from the pull. The blue line under a press is the global cooldown (1.5 sec) or cast it holds: nothing else on the global cooldown can go until it ends, so of two that are ready together the higher one goes first. Enrage is off the global cooldown, so it has no line and goes alongside.
