This build is a lot harder to play due to constant use of Felrush and Vengeful retreat, however provides slightly more dps.

Hero Talents

Aldrachi Reaver

Aldrachi Reaver provides the ability Reaver’s Glaive (replacing Throw Glaive) enhancing both Chaos Strike and Blade Dance. Reaver’s Glaive gives you two buffs which apply effects to Blade Dance and Chaos Strike, however the order in which you consume said stacks will dictate the strengths of the abilities empowered.

The empowerment of Blade Dance provides Fury of the Aldrachi, triggering 3 additional strikes when consumed, or 6 additional strikes if triggered second. If you empower Chaos Strike you will trigger Reaver’s Mark increasing your targets damage taken by 15% for 20 seconds, or 30% if triggered second.

This means that as a general rule of thumb you should always activate Chaos Strike second when you want to focus on a single target, whilst Blade Dance has a higher value on AoE as the second usage.

Fel-Scarred

Fel-Scarred’s main focus is on Metamorphosis, providing your abilities major benefits whilst being in demon form. The focus of the Hero Talent lies on Demonsurge, which buffs the first cast of your Annihilation and Death sweep each time you enter demon form.

It's important to mention that Demonsurge will only be applied if you are currently not in demon form, unless done through the hard cast of Metamorphosis. This incentivizes you to shift in and out of demon forms as frequently as possible to increase the value of Demonsurge.
