Headbutter's primary role is to put pressure on enemy casters by Dazing them and disabling their ability to Kite away.

Attributes and Skills
* Higher level Rune may be used in order to increase Dazed Durration.


 * For the Optional Slot See Variations for different skill recommendations.

Equipment

 * Strength Helm of Minor+ Strength
 * It is recommended that you use at least Gladiators Cuirass and Leggings to boost energy to 25.

* Weapons can be Collector Counterparts and dont need to be the actual green.
 * Main Set: Tanzit's Cleaver and Exalted Aegis
 * Energy Management Set: Wing's Axe and Arrahhsh's Aegis
 * Plague Touch Set: Shakor's Spear and Tarlok's Flagon

Usage

 * The Main use of this build is to shut down enemy casters with Headbutt and transfering the Dazed condition over to the Enemy with Plague Touch followed up with Tiger Stance to keep pressure on them.


 * Dismember is brought to cover up Daze and Axe Rake is used so the enemy doesnt Kite away.


 * Bull's Strike and Sprint are to cause knock-down for enemies that may lose the Crippled Condition while Kiting.


 * When Casting Plague Touch Make sure to use the Silencing Spear.
 * When in your Increased Attack Speed stance use your Zealous Axe to regain energy.

Counters

 * Interupting Plague Touch.
 * Blind/Chance to Miss hexes.
 * Little to No Self Healing.

Variants

 * Optional Slot can be used for:
 * Lion's Comfort will provide a small ammount of Self Heal.
 * Executioner's Strike will provide extra damage.
 * Shield Bash can interupt an assassins Chain Attack.
 * A Res Signet for emergencies, if using this build in Randoms or Teams this is highly recommended.


 * Tiger Stance may be replaced by Flail if you are comfortable with Sprint/Axe Rake.
 * Plague Touch may be replaced by Plague Sending if you think you will encounter grouped casters. (This would work well with a Ranger Partymember Spamming Barrage.)
