How to Use The Legacy of Raekor Set
The Legacy of Raekor set offers a Furious Charge-centric setup, which
is deceptively versatile. While it locks you down into using
Furious Charge, you can adapt the skill to either be your main source of
damage (by cubing
Standoff and
Vile Ward; also, look into mixing
with the Immortal King set), or using it as means of ramping the damage of
another skill of your choosing. The result is always a very mobile, higher skill
cap build, appealing to a particular subset of players.
- 2-piece bonus
- Furious Charge refunds a charge if it hits only 1 enemy.
- 4-piece bonus
- Furious Charge gains the effect of every rune and deals 1000% increased damage.
- 6-piece bonus
- Every use of Furious Charge increases the damage of your next Fury-spending attack by 5500%. This effect stacks. Every use of a Fury-spending attack consumes up to 5 stacks.
The 2-piece bonus of The Legacy of Raekor set refunds one charge of
Furious Charge, if said skill hits only one enemy. This simple bonus is
vital for the set's performance against Rift Guardians, which are usually
one-on-one fights; this set bonus fills the gaps left by the rune staple for
this skill,
Merciless Assault.
The 4-piece bonus of The Legacy of Raekor set provides both a simple damage
amp for Furious Charge, as well as a vastly more important boon: gaining
the effect of every rune. The extra damage of
Battering Ram, the cooldown
reduction of
Merciless Assault, the Fury generation of
Stamina,
the freezing effect of
Cold Rush and the extra charge storage of
Dreadnought work together to ensure devastation of your enemies and the
set's signature supercharged speed.
The 6-piece bonus of The Legacy of Raekor set contains the dynamic of the
spender-centric Raekor playstyles (i.e. the Hammer of the Ancients Raekor
build, or the
Ancient Spear Raekor build), and can be skipped if you
focus of
Furious Charge damage. It provides a stacking damage buff for
your Fury-spending attacks as you charge around, which is spent in 5-stack
chunks and usually timed with other bonuses, such as
Convention of Elements cycles. This leads to the signature, high skill
cap plays of the set.
