Equipment
Any armor will do, but Gladiator's Armor is not needed as you only have 1 energy skill.
Victo's Maul or a similar hammer will do well.
Usage
Use Enraging Charge to run into battle and help build adrenaline.
Activate Flail as soon as it's charged to speed up adrenaline gain and increase dps.
Once your attacks are charged, use Forceful Blow on your enemy. Don't use Forceful Blow if they use blocking stances or enchantments.
Follow up with Fierce Blow for more damage.
Use Heavy Blow as a finishing move, or if you need a knockdown.
Rinse and repeat.
Counters
Blindness and Weakness.
Anti-Warrior hexes such as Spiteful Spirit and Empathy.
Variants
Flail and Enraging Charge could be replaced by Sprint and "Watch Yourself!" for a Factions only build.
Counter Blow can be used instead of Heavy Blow for a cheap knockdown.
Irresistible Blow could be used to punish blocking.
