How to use Chained Inferno build
Start fights by landing Hunter's Chains on your target. Once chained, immediately follow up with Searing Axe into Fire Whirl for huge burst damage.
Use Faeform to chase down fleeing enemies or to escape if you get focused down. If you can't land Hunter's Chains, look to poke with Fire Whirl until you can.
This build excels at quickly bursting down single targets, so focus your damage on one enemy at a time. If you miss your combo, play safely until your cooldowns are back up.
In duos, flank the enemy backline and try to pick off squishy targets with your combo. Save Faeform to escape if you get collapsed on.
Against tanks, poke with Fire Whirl and kite back until you see an opportunity to land your full combo. If you're getting kited, use Faeform to close the gap and force a fight.
