Tactical Information
Brutal Charge can have several uses for Red-line Guardian. It grants a large run speed boost, so it can be used to dodge enemy attacks and run away from attacking enemies. It grants a damage boost, so it can be used as a damage cooldown, and when traited, the next skill used will automitically land as a critical hit. It is thus a good idea to use this skill immediately before strong single target skills like Overwhelm and Hammer Down. It can also be used as a crowd control ability, although this requires a trait.
