1. Artifact Progression

The Warswords of the Valarjar open up with a number of immediate routes you can take your Artifact, however, a lot of paths are walled off with very minor increases or non DPS oriented talents. Due to that, there is really only one path to follow.

1.1. Early Progression

The path outlined here aims for both Odyn's Champion and Helya's Wrath early, as there are no inefficient traits along the way, alongside both traits having a large impact on not only output but rotational consistency. As many of the single target traits cross over and impact multi target, this further solidifies the build as the go to.

1. Odyn's Fury
2. Thirst for Battle
3. Unstoppable
4. Unrivaled Strength
5. Raging Berserker
6. Focus In Chaos
7. Wrath and Fury
8. Odyn's Champion
9. Helya's Wrath
10. Deathdealer
11. Juggernaut
12. Sense Death
13. Battle Scars
14. Rage of the Valarjar
15. Wild Slashes
16. Uncontrolled Rage
17. Bloodcraze
18. Titanic Power

This path takes advantage of the freedom in the Artifact, aiming for the most impactful traits whilst avoiding those that have no impact. Rushing to Odyn's Champion is not only powerful due to the trait itself, but the bonuses acquired along the way that benefit your core rotational abilities. Whilst Sense Death is slightly weaker than Rage of the Valarjar, the wall of Battle Scars makes the point investment significantly higher. That said, it can be foregone in favor of rushing Rage of the Valarjar if desired.

1.2. Patch 7.2 Post 35 Trait Path

Following Patch 7.2 additional traits have been added upon reaching 35 traits in your current Artifact. This includes 4 additional new traits, a 4th rank in each of the previous Relic traits, and finally a new Paragon trait in Concordance of the Legionfall which all additional Artifact Power will be spent on.

Fury currently has some relatively strong Relic traits, and as such it does delay how quickly you move into the new traits available. After grabbing Unrivaled Strength as the strongest single point option however, filling out the new traits and moving back to the fourth points is ideal.

1. Fury of the Valarjar
2. Fourth rank of Unrivaled Strength
3. Four points in Pulse of Battle
4. Oathblood
5. Death and Glory
6. Fourth rank of Raging Berserker
7. Fourth rank of Wrath and Fury
8. Fourth rank of Unstoppable
9. Fourth rank of Deathdealer
10. Fourth rank of Wild Slashes
11. Fourth rank of Uncontrolled Rage
12. Personal choice filling out Bloodcraze and Battle Scars
13. Concordance of the Legionfall

2. Artifact Ability

The Warswords of the Valarjar come equipped with the ability Odyn's Fury, which deals a huge burst of damage alongside a high damage DoT after, scaling with many of the short term buffs Fury has access to such as Enrage. Due to this, it makes it a great ability to stack with cooldowns for high burst, and with it being an AoE effect, is a great on demand burst AoE tool in any multi target situation.

3. Relic Choice

As with many classes when deciding on Relics, Item Level is often the most important in your decision, and going for the highest regardless of trait will generally serve as the best rule.

Unrivaled Strength tends to sit around 5 weapon item levels, and is the ideal trait if you can find it on a relic.

Wrath and Fury and Raging Berserker both average out around 2-3 weapon item levels, and are the secondary options if Unrivaled Strength is unavailable.

Other Relic traits boost very low impact traits, and as such should be avoided if you have the option to do so.
