Optimized Havoc 40/Maelstrom BuildThe Idea is to tag your dog to apply 8 bleed stacks on human-sized Elites on a small aoe as much as you can, it is broken and causes a small aoe CC to surrounding enemies that you can spam while the dog pounces from one Elite to another, all the while they get shredded with the bleeds. Your shock maul will also have good clearing power and boss damage too, thunderous and the nodes are a perfect fit. You'll just have to try and see. You can replace Infested with Carapace with the Arbites Shock Maul see what works best for you.Recommended perfect combosSingle target: Heavy > Light > Heavy > Light strike downs. Guard cancel Light > Light > Guard cancel > Light > Light (strikedowns) melts Carapace enemies with Thunderous.Cleave: Push shove > Heavy > Heavy. You could chain it after with Light > Heavy depending on the situation of the mobs.In most cases when you pop Castigator Stance you switch to your shotgun and start killing ranged Elites and Specialists. You'll cleave mixed hordes with one shotgun shell once you get enough stacks you kill at least 10 fodders on the way including killing the Specialist and the Elite you meant to target. Extremely powerful killing tool.Now master every movement fundamentals and you'll be goated at Havoc 40's too.
