How to play at level 40

Your combat loop

Press the first one that is ready.

Keep up:
  1. Death Wish Cooldown · every 3 min

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 180 sec. It raises the rest.

  2. Bloodrage For rage · every 60 sec

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 60 sec, for rage.

  3. Berserker Rage For rage · every 30 sec

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 30 sec, for rage.

  4. Bloodthirst Every 6 sec

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 6 sec.

    25% of your damage
  5. Whirlwind Every 8 sec

    Use it whenever it is ready, every 8 sec.

    19% of your damage
  6. Auto attack All the time

    Your weapon swings on its own. Stay in melee range.

    56% 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. Bloodrage is off the global cooldown, so it has no line and goes alongside.

All the time
Auto attack
