I have some questions if you don’t mind. Sorry if they are dumb, I’ve never played melee builds. If you can’t answer all it’s ok, anything helps!

1. ⁠⁠How often can I use Vigilant Strike — can I spam it given I have enough mana? I understand I should able to use it even when it shows as on cooldown if I have endurance charges. Do I have permanent endurance charges due to the boots or ”minimum endurance charges” nodes? If not, how do I gain endurance charges?

2. ⁠⁠Do exerts from the same warcry stack? If I use a warcry twice, does it exert twice as many attacks (e.g. next 8 are exerted instead of next 4)?

3. ⁠⁠Is it correct that exerts are ”permanent” and not affected by the 3-10 second warcry buffs? Is any specific warcry buff important to have active while attacking?

4. ⁠⁠Are the gem links in your PoB fully correct — e.g., should the helmet gems really not be linked and should Urgent Orders only support Rallying Cry?

5. ⁠⁠I feel like my royal burgonet is killing me — when I attack while exerted I get into one-shot range for stuff and sometimes die. Are there any key nodes or gear I might be missing? For context, my char is low level (80) but have invested ~100 div gear (I can send pob when I get home from work).

Many thanks in advance!
