Overview

Jegodin's Warrior Paragon melee spec (61 Paragon / 9 Warlord / 6 Tempest). A dual-wield attack-point spec that builds to 3 points, spends them, and lines up Shifting Blades with its hardest hitting abilities for the damage windows. Keeps a bleed rolling between Alacrity windows and leans on stuns and debilitates to shut down healers. The exact tree is on the Magelo link below.

Rotation

1. Builder until you are at 3 attack points.
2. Finisher.
3. Builder until you are at 3 attack points.
4. Shifting Blades.

Keep the bleed up between windows, and line Shifting Blades up with your biggest hits.
