Rotation and positioning

Use Falling Sword regularly for set protection, then fight within the hammer spiral’s range. Provoke and the Law sustain Wrath; hammer hits reduce cooldowns through Zodiac. With Hexing Pants, weave short movement steps into attacks.

Stats, sockets and progression

Prioritize Holy and Hammer damage, critical stats, cooldown and cost reduction. Build melee defenses and avoid letting Falling Sword’s set protection expire.
