Usage
Choose a target and activate Zealous Renewal.
After a few hits activate Frenzy.
When Decapitate is (almost) charged, activate Pious Haste.
If the target is running, use Bull's Strike.
Use Decapitate and wait until Pious Haste ends.
When Pious Haste ends, quickly use Critical Chop.
When you're in need of Health, use Lion's Comfort.
With the right timing Critical Chop can be used immediately after Decapitate, creating a massive spike. Timing the skills right needs some practice, though.
Counters
Anti-Melee Hexes.
Conditions.
Variants
Berserker Stance or Burst of Aggression can be used instead of Frenzy. They have longer recharge, though.
Axe Rake can be used as a snare, though Decapitate absorbs all Adrenaline, so it will take a few hits for Axe Rake to get charged.
Bull's Strike can be replaced by Protector's Strike.
Extend Enchantments can be used. However, timing will be even more important, since it's used before all other skills, so if it ends too soon, everything has to be done all over again. Also, the speed boost is lost.
