Damage engine and purpose
The 2.7.3 rework connects Charge stacks with Ancient Spear. Arreat’s Law temporarily permits extra Fury; Three Hundredth Spear and Skular amplify the following Boulder Toss.
Item, skill and rune names use their English game spelling for unambiguous lookup. Explanations, rotation and limitations are fully translated.

Legendary and normal gems
Legendary gems: Bane of the Stricken / Bane of the Trapped / Zei's Stone of Vengeance.
Normally use an Emerald in weapon sockets; choose the helm socket for cooldown or Life needs. Match armour sockets to missing main stat or toughness. Seasonal Soul Shards replace helm or weapon gems only in the explicitly identified seasons.
Stats, cooldowns and optimisation
Physical, Ancient Spear, maximum Fury, critical stats and Area Damage. Use distance for Arreat/No Escape; missing Life supplies damage, not a reason to die deliberately.
Complete the required legendary powers, correct runes and full set bonuses first. Cooldown reduction combines multiplicatively; do not simply add percentage rolls. Weigh a boss gem against a farming gem according to actual boss-fight length.
Rotation: preparation, damage, refresh
Step 1
Hit enemies with Charge to build Raekor and Band of Might.
Step 2
Use Weapon Throw to overfill Fury, then Boulder Toss suitable dense targets.
Step 3
Refresh Charge and prepare the next Fury/Spear sequence from a safe position.
Patch boundaries and verifiable context
The dated May 2022 bar already uses reworked Raekor. DiabloFans’ stale season tag does not establish Season 25; the live introduction is clearly 2.7.3/Season 26.
Later numerical Raekor nerfs do not change the equipment loop. This is an optimised Raekor option, not an unchanged tier rank across all years.
Check before the next equipment change
Count set pieces before replacing a free armour slot. Equipping and cubing an identical legendary power does not double it. Solo Unity requires a follower wearing the other ring with immortality equipped.
This archive describes the period configuration. A current item database may show new numbers under the same name; those live tooltips do not prove historical multipliers. Old seasonal powers cannot be replayed on current non-seasonal characters.
