the the farthest yet softest enemy if available e.g. Priest etc. pause a moment to let enemies catch up Barbaric Smash the enemy killing it regaining rage whilst also applying cleaving stance and Boosted Carnage to the enemy at this Point us spinning assault then charge to another enemy regardless to keep the momentum flowing Barbaric smash near death enemies and finish them off At this point feel free to use your remaining resources to end the fight, if you lacking health this build focuses on dr reduction and speed yet you will have two "second wind" one from basic athletics and one from " the undying burden" Conclusion: if you find yourself lacking in early game don't be afraid to take on some drug, potions and scrolls until you get the core abilities you need to run enemies through.
