Ive been running a dragon slash build for a while with paragon secondary to take advantage of enduring harmony.

However would a monk secondary be better using Balthazar's spirit at smiting 3 attrib pts, which gives additional adrenaline AND energy?

that would require you to tank which is not really purpose of dslash IMO.. enduring is "safer" so i would go for that

Enduring is your far better choice to use for FGJ to basically be able to chain spam Dragon Slash.

One is an echo that can not be removed once you get it up, the other is an enchantment that can be shattered or stripped.

War/Paragon is the clear winner, not to mention you won't get flamed for being a Wammo....

You don't really need energy anyway.

The adren gain from Balth's spirit is very very minor....you'll hardly notice it at all. It was always used for the energy, somethin a warrior shouldn't need.

Tbh sometimes I just decide to drop EH altogether for a fun PvE skill that I feel like messing around with at the time. I usually can't be bothered putting EH up anyway so I don't miss it.

For general PvE, the best skills for a warrior are typically skills that don't require the enemy taking a certain course of action. The typical DSlash is such a bar, it can power out adrenaline 24/7 and is beaten only by specific melee/adrenaline counters. Things like Triple Chop/Earth Shaker while are powerful, are far too reliant on your enemies action, they are much more variable in terms of effect and thus less reliable than the W/P DSlasher

Definatly /p and enduring harmony

The problem with balth's is you don't get much ade and the AI doesn't go after all that often.

In my opinion, go Mo for [skill=text]Mending Touch[/skill] or don't go /Mo at all.

Paragon... Too much synergy, and W/Mo sucks

Go /P

Enduring works always once you get it up. Balth's only works if you're getting hit. And you'll only get hit if you're tanking (otherwise they'll happily run right past you to attack the squishies) where you'll likely find it getting stripped unless you got a bunch of cover enchants or a monk with SB.

/P for sure. No-one likes a W/Mo.
