Running With Scissors! (Glaive Tempest + Momentum)
So you’ve seen me play it on stream and in videos but now you want to try it out for yourself. It’s SUPER easy to play, requires very little management and can actually keep up with some of the other builds, despite simming lower because well, sims aren’t everything and talents work very differently in practical situations.
Now I’m not saying this is THE BEST, ULTIMATE BUILD that leaves everything else in the dust…But if you’re a player who isn’t big on the Inertia style of movement, maybe you’re not a fan of Essence Break and the set up it requires or you’re just looking to switch things up for a change of pace once in a while - This build will be PERFECT for you.
Okay, so this is a build you’ll mainly use on Fortified weeks in M+. You CAN use it on Tyrannical but it’s going to lack some of the Single Target Prio damage something like Essence Break brings.
But hey, since we’ve already thrown the idea of being 100% optimal out the window, go ahead and use it wherever you want.
I was using this build on a Fort week back before Fel Barrage got nerfed and I was easily able to keep up with another Havoc in my group who was running Inertia + Fel Barrage
This build has a lot of upfront burst from Glaive Tempest. What people tend to forget is that the target count for GT was changed - Glaive tempest now does reduced damage beyond 8 targets unlike Fel Barrage which is reduced beyond 5. This makes it an incredibly powerful ability to use in large pulls, especially when its being buffed by Initiative and whichever movement talent you’ve decided to take - with this build we’ll be taking Momentum.
It’s essentially the typical Ignition build with A Fire Inside, Any Means Necessary, Chaotic Disposition and Ragefire but we’ve swapped Essence Break for Glaive Tempest and changed Inertia to Momentum.
You may also notice that we’ve swapped Serrated Glaive for Furious Gaze and this, surprisingly, isn’t exclusive to this build. This is something a lot of players have started doing for their M+ builds now. You would think that the 15% increased damage to Throw Glaive and ultimately, Soulscar would be a no-brainer but the Haste gained from Furious Gaze actually helps out in a lot of ways.
Getting that extra bit of haste after every Eye Beam helps reduce the cooldown on our rotational abilities that are hasted (Meaning the cooldown is reduced by the amount of haste we have) - Immolation Aura, which for obvious reasons is really powerful. The more we reduce the cooldown on Immo Aura, the more we can press it and pump damage into our Ragefires. Blade Dance/Death Sweep is reduced by haste which again, is super impactful because Death Sweep is one of our heaviest hitting abilities and now that it’s combined with Throw Glaive with our 2pc set bonus, it’s even more of a crucial ability. The cooldown on Glaive Tempest is also reduced by haste so you can start to see how Furious Gaze helps with the rotation when playing this build.
The last thing to consider with Furious Gaze is that having that extra bit of haste actually makes the DoT from The Hunt do a lot more damage. As with most DoT’s in the game, The Hunt’s DoT scales with haste and with our 4pc set bonus extending it’s duration to 12s, this is actually huge.
Now you might be asking why we’re choosing to run Momentum over Inertia. Frankly, you dont need to play Momentum. You can totally play Inertia with this build if you want to - but my thought process here is that we’re trying to put together a build that does noticeable damage in M+ while also being easy to play with less opportunities to mess things up.
With the recent changes to how Momentum works, you basically never have to monitor it or even worry about it. The Momentum buff is applied via Fel Rush, Vengeful Retreat and The Hunt (which you’re getting more often due to our 4pc). The Buff also stacks up to a 30s duration now instead of the previous 10s.
This should allow you to get over 90% uptime on the Momentum buff in keys by just Fel Rushing to spend Unbound Chaos and pressing Vengeful Retreat and The Hunt on cooldown.
No need to pay close attention to your Momentum buff to make sure it precisely stacks up with various other buffs and fitting things into tiny buff windows to maximize damage. It just kind of happens on its own.
