Default A Second Helm for my War?

Been thinking about getting a second helm for my warrior since I started using a sword build. I normaly use a axe build. So I just wanted to hear your opinion on this.

I have 4 Elite Charr Helms dyed black. One axe, One sword, One Hammer, One Stregnth. Tactics seemed kind of pointless at this stage of the game. I'm glad I did it, it's incredibly handy to have. Although I tend to PvP a lot. PvE wise it's really not so important.

You could get a universal headgear and just add different runes for each different build, but this will prove more costly long term (although that really is long term).

Every time you'd want to switch builds you'd have to buy another rune and replace the old one. And since universal headgear is EOTN 10k stuff, I don't see how it's any cheaper.

Simple solution is, just buy a few 1k helmets and be done with it, especially good if you don't usually display it. I have like 3 elte armor helments I bought along with said armor, but when I went to buy my obsidian armor I didn't get a helmet since it's just money gone to waste and completed my atribute set with some random prophecies 80al helmet (have a helmet for sword, axe, hammer, strenght).

I have helms for each weapon attribute. Haven't got a Strength one yet (although it's on the list).

As long as ECharge breaks where it does I really don't see the need for a Hammer helmet...

A helmet for swords is good if you can afford it.

I've got 3 helmets - one for each weapon attribute. A strength one would be beneficial, but not enough to make me get one.

Like Bobby2 said, since Enraging Charge has a breakpoint @ 14 Strength (and many Hammer Builds run ECharge + Flail, plus with a Strength Helm I can run Hammer, Scythe, Dagger, and Spear builds, too), I have a Sword, Axe, and Strength Helm.

I tend to go off by myself alot with my rat pack of heros and henches most of the time. I'm currently running a Strength helm on my war. I find it easier to just leave my strength at lvl 14 and just change the 12 i have in my weapons for whichever i need to use. I keep a sword, axe and hammer on me, i buy every warrior skill i find. I would rather be more usable than just limited to 1 tree (why WOW sucks).

There is no 1 master build for everything in the game, so why limit yourself. I am always adjusting my sword, axe, hammer and running builds. Also my secondary professions, I have opened them all up to use. Just something to think about.

It's not strictly needed. If you are going to stick a sup rune on it, I'd go for it, but the difference between 12 and 14 isn't that large.

That is, unless you have money to spend, in which case you should do so. It never hurts, and money is there to be spent anyway.

Here are my helms :
- sword +1+1
- axe +1+1
- hammer +1+1
- strength +1+3 (switch for signet of stamina only)
- strength +1+1 (tanking builds with life)
- tactics +1+1 (tanking builds with stances)

I also have sword/axe +1+3 but I only use them in NM (not worth the money imo).

Warriors that tank are bad Warriors. Outside of tanking/running other similar stupid builds, there isn't really a reason to use a +1 tactics helmet. +1 strength helmets are for Warrior's Endurance builds.
