Bring a Speed boost.

I'd also replace Energy Blast with Eruption. Armor of Earth is Meh, but it's AB.

I'd replace Enfeeble with Enfeebling . AoE Weakness on the warrior shrine = lolz.

both evishock wont go on same target ~~

there are 3 npc (not sure about that...) on caps, that makes enough targets for both of them

same strats apply to other players...

smited + splinter warriors deal insane damage (you can get criticals at ~140 on a 60AL), and as most of players there run with low life (~500hp), you just WTFPWN them with 6-7 hits

and btw against MM (there are a lot of those), splinter = win

just try it

try with SoH + Judge

Thing is I was not playing all the time with a monk, as I couldn't get a proper team all the time. I liked to have some healing ability for those case.

But i'd definatly try that if I get a full team.

A simple D-slash warrior I've been running recently:

[build prof=W/Mo name="D-slash AB warrior" box sword=12+1+1 str=12+1 prot=3 desc="Weapon #1: Vampiric sword for combat{br}Weapon #2: Elemental sword for warriors and non-combat"][sever artery][gash][Dragon Slash]["For great justice!"][Tiger Stance][Rush][Lion's Comfort][mending touch][/build]

I started out trying to use frenzy as an IAS, but there are generally too many people to pull that off, imo. Whenever I turn frenzy on, I instantly get showered in AoE spells, random warriors and whatnot. Flail is horrible for PvP, everyone just kites.

I even tried experimenting with ["I will avenge you!"] as an IAS, but surprisingly there was a lack of dead people! Seems like I need the corpses on my radar before they work... Otherwise it would have been perfect.

It can take on a bit of everything, if things start to get heated you can pull a D-slash - Lion's Comfort - D-slash - Lion's comfort, etc. combo for constant healing under "FGJ". Although, that severely limits your offensive potential.

yay for gwBBcode!

[build prof=W/Me axe=12+1+1 str=11+1 dom=6][eviscerate][body blow][bull's strike][power spike][sprint][lion's comfort][frenzy][lyssa's balance][/build]

all-purpose warrior build for almost any situation.

irtzu · Apr 20, 2008, 01:40 PM // 13:40

I have been working on a few builds, not sure if they are new or not but I have yet to see them listed. so yeah tell me what you think.

Prepared Master
A/R

Prepared Shot {elite}
Keen Arrow
Sloth Hunter's Shot
Needling Shot
Feigned Neutrality
Disrupting Accuracy
Dash
Way of the Master

Runes:
Minor Critical Strikes
Superior Vigor

Bow:
Horn, Short of Recurved. 20/20,15^50, +30
Long Bow for Shrine attack.

Usage: Keep Way of the Master up at all times. Apply Disrupting Accuracy before entering battle. Start with Sloth Hunter's Shot then Keen Arrow. These two shots have been enough to drop target to 50%. At that point get off a Prepared Shot then finish off with Needling Shot. Heal with Feigned Neutrality when needed, use Dash as a speed boost.

Notes: This build has great energy control which offers the spamming of your shots for great pressure.

Now the question is, why would anyone want to use this over a Magebane or BHA ranger?

irtzu · Apr 20, 2008, 01:55 PM // 13:55

Blur Illusions Sig
Me/E

Signet of Illusions{elite}
Backfire
Conjure Phantasm
Images of Remorse
Phantom Pain
Blurred Vision
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Armor of Mist

Runes:
Major Illusions
Minor Fast Casting

Equipment:
+5 energy, Halves Casting Time, Illusion Cane.
+30, Halves Skill Recharge, illusions chakram.

Usage: Keep Signet of Illusions up at all times. Use Glyph before casting Backfire or whenever seems fit. Against caster targets, cap off with Backfire then Conjure Phantasm, Images of Remorse then Phantom Pain for degen pressure. Warriors, Rangers, Assassins and Durvs, instead of Backfire, cap off with Blurred Vision, then regular order of degen.

You are right for asking that question. i just noticed with this build that it hits like a truck and bringing down my target fast if my first concern. The disrupts dont hurt either.

Warrior/Monk
[Signet of [email protected]][holy [email protected]][Hammer [email protected]][Crushing [email protected]][Irresistible [email protected]][Tiger [email protected]][[email protected]][Healing [email protected]]

Its a bit energy intensive but in moderation it works.
You could swap out [Irresistible blow] for something else but I find that KDing someone who is blocking to be very handy.
Only one adrenaline skill, but it loses all you adrenaline, no loss there.

Really fun, different and its so hilarious when you a catch kiter with SoJ then rape them with your hammer ^^.

They should merge some of the posts in the thread with the "Worst builds you saw in Alliance Battles" thread.

If you want damage, go Turret or Thumper, but please don't run this. Interrupts on ALL bow rangers. There should be a hex branding every bow ranger in AB that doesn't use distracting shot.

moriz · Apr 22, 2008, 11:06 PM // 23:06

shock axe, AB variant:

[build prof=W/E axe=12+1+1 str=12+1 air=3][eviscerate][body blow][bull's strike][shock][sprint][lion's comfort][frenzy][distracting strike][/build]

AB is quite different from any other pvp format. as such, the popular shock axe needs to be specially adapted for maximum efficiency.

the open nature of AB means there will be a lot of time spent running from point to point. as such, the warrior's adrenaline system works very poorly in AB. the speedboost and key disruption skills MUST be energy-based.

lion's comfort is not so much a self heal than as an "adrenaline management" skill. the 3 strikes of adrenaline gained will not only charge up your attacks faster, it also resets the adrenaline timer to allow you to keep your adrenaline longer.

the running stance on a warrior is usually a frenzy-cancel skill. rush is obviously the best skill for that. in AB however, the ability to have an energy run stance is more important. the new sprint lasts 13 seconds and recharges 15, making it the superior choice. just make sure to use frenzy very carefully.

Gah. So that's why.

Decent, but lacks interruption, and I'm really sick of people not bringing a run skill to AB. Also, one Block and you're out for 45 seconds. lawl.

6/10. lol.
