BUILD AND PARAGON BOARD VIEW
BUILD EXPLANATION
This build took me through to lvl 70 without any problem and its power is quite something as you hit 60 upward.
Essentially you are using Charge for AOE damage smashing enemies aside with Aspect of Ancestral Charge. The HOTA will also dish out some decent damage.
I used Frenzy for fast attacks and for the Ultimate Call of the Ancients was decent to get you out of tight jams. I also used Iron Skin to help with survivability but that can be switched out as you progress.
As you hit 70, the build needs tweaks and improved Ancestral gear is essential.
