Kick is awesome. You heard it here first, folks. Why would that kitten nudge be awesome, you must ask? Because it synergizes perfectly with Final Thrust.
The mini-stun inflicted by the Kick is just enough to start the Final Thrust, make a step forward and ram that foot of steel inside your reeling enemy. Physical Training also puts Kick on a 16 sec. cooldown, guaranteeing that you will never miss a single Final Thrust (if you can land the Kick, of course).
The recent buff to the Kick and Physical Training also make your boot hurt like the finest of blades, resulting in a nice ~10k damage burst, when utilized in combination with Final Thrust.
Sigil of Intelligence recommended. You can Kick, swap to Sword and FT without any problems or animation delays.
I’m running a Hammer+Sword/Shield combo right now, using Cleansing Ire (works great with Earthshaker, that thing will hit something when you drop it) and you can pretty much stunlock even mildly tanky enemies while still having an ace in the hole burst combo.
So go, become a pain in their nether regions in all meanings of the word!
