  Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)

  VF for putting up Shredded and then spam DC w/ shredded up- very strong single-target dps w/ just 2 abilities, and w/ Rush its self-sufficient too. Spinny Sword Looneybags McToplocopter (sword cyclone) covers AoE - lunge beforehand if ya want more energy while using it.
  
  Last couple spells can be w/e ya want- the build is pretty much complete offensively after getting sword cyclone and ego surge w/ NM, so ya prob want some heals and defensive spells in there.

  This is pretty much everything you'll ever need to start with specifically making an AoPM Enrage build. Offense/Defense cycling to the most extreme and 5 powers and 20 adv points left to do as you please. Everyone else seems to be using it. Its not bad in the least.
  
  Just get something that can knock reliably, something that nails to the ground so you can catch up to it, and something that procs MSA along with Conviction. Force Geyser fits all those with ease. So that leaves you 4 powers and 18 adv points.
  
  The Active Defenses are there because their cooldowns will be so lowe you can almost keep one up at all times. Ego Surge with adv because lots of reward for little investment.

  So far both of those builds looks incredibly fun, my only question though is on the first one and that's if windlash can maybe be replaced with a different energy builder andif eye of the storm is able to replace sword cyclone?

  Yes to both. If ya want more dmg from EotS, just keep re-starting the channel after a few sec of maintaining, since the dmg ramps down. Fully maintain it if ya wanna max the shield or turtle up w/ it.
