Guide
This Loadout is made for constantly having your movement ability (conviction).
Azaan is a high damage offtank that can hard dive the enemy backline without a lot of punishment, but he needs conviction for reposition and get out safely when needed.
I play it mostly with eternal cause ire helps have a shorter cooldown on reckoning (3s less if used above the threshold), so it is more often available for the combos, eg conviction into a wall and stun, shot, reckoning, shot. Though, this is also good with persistence that doesn't take away the extra damage above Ire threshold. It is kinda viable with the tempering talent, but then it needs some changes to have Sanctuary more often for the sanctuary-conviction combo, carrying an enemy to your walls for the 3s stun.
Using Indignation V with Deadly Edict V gives you a cooldown of 6.5 seconds instead of 10s on Conviction after using Reckoning. With chronos 2, which is a really good item on Azaan, the cooldown is reduced to only 4.9s, which is the same as Vatu, Ruckus and Lian without chronos or alacrity.
I predict that this is gonna be close to the META deck (maybe DR added into the deck) when he goes into Ranked Mode after his nerfs:
conviction is very strong, as it gives him vertical mobility and he travels a lot of distance because of Solemn Watch III, even after the nerfs. Also, it has a strong cc in it with a powerful stun if you carry an enemy into a wall. Besides, good players are able to counter healing cards, which are very popular on Azaan at the moment, with max cauterize.
Lastly, Duty Is A Mountain I and Tools Of Salvation I are fillers that help your survivability, as Azaan gains a lot of benefits above Ire threshold and extra hp is useful many times.
