Overview
This Fighter DPS build focuses on the leveling aspect of the fighter with great AOE bursts thanks to 
Whirlwind and 
Brutal Cleave which, when coupled with the sturdiness of the Fighter can translate into a very quick leveling experience from level 1 to level 25 either alone or in a group as this Fighter builds can do well in both cases regardless of which route you want to take in Ashes of Creation.

Rotations
Low Level AOE Burst Rotation ↴
- While the rotation is incredibly easy to pull off, you should make sure to pull a group of mobs using your auto-attacks or using your bow to lure mobs more efficiently before using Brutal Cleave and Whirlwind. You can do this in the early game just after making your character, making it easy to level to 4 by simply AOE grinding the mobs in the starting zone. Keep in mind that once you unlock Climactic Whirlwind, you will have to angle yourself in such a way that the final hit hits multiple targets.
Single Target Rotation ↴
- This is your bread and butter rotation for single target DPS when leveling solo. Start with
Blitz to build up quick Combat Momentum before continuing with 
Rupture to apply a bleed dot before transitioning to 
Lunging Assault.
- Continue the rotation with a hit of
Overpower and then use 
Wallop to maximize the damage it does based on the amount of Combat Momentum stacks you gained throughout the rotation. The last skill in the rotation is 
Lethal Blow as its used to finish off a target with its high damage and also reset Blitz cooldown by using Reinvigorating Lethal Blow. Once upgraded with Consuming Lethal Blow, Lethal Blow also returns some of your HP and mana.
