Curse

I came across 3 or so Warriors in Ab in the past couple of days using this Build and wondering if anyone here thinks its good. Iv tryed it meh Self and it seems to work good. So here it is

W/Me
Strengh - 16
Illuision Magic - 12
Tatics - 4

Illusionary Weaponry
Signet of Clumsiness
Burst of Agression
Shield Bash
Healing Signet
Illusion of Weakness
Signet of Stamina
Endure Pain

Basicly With Signet of Stamina you can Keep your Hp Above 800+ Forever with IW and can then have 1100+ for 20 seconds added on top with Endure Pain. No Warrior iv Fought in AB with this Build has been able to kill me and when I was watching it being used it was the same thing.
The Damage Output I might say is maybe Lower or Alot Lower or even higher then any other normal Warrior build but I could be wrong there and with 800+ HP forever you can Tank it out Pretty Well.

Post what you Think of it.

it does make sense:

he is saying that using IW on a mesmer is pointless, let alone using it on a warrior/mesmer.

basically, what he's saying; the build sucks.

Surprised Mokone didn't lock this on sight.

Here's a bit of insight as to why that build, like most AB warrior bars, fails in the five easiest ways it is possible to fail:

- First, Illusionary Weaponry is a bad elite. Why is it a bad elite? Because it does less damage than Conjure, it lasts half as long, it costs more energy, you can't use adrenaline skills with it which negates any benefit of ignoring blocking/armor, and /E is a more useful secondary. There was one other thing too..... oh yeah, Conjure's not an elite.

- Second, survivability is not best achieved by jacking your health bar through the roof. Survivability is best achieved by not taking damage in the first place, and stacking max health does nothing more than delay your death. That doesn't mean you stack your bar with trash like Gladiator's Defense either, you stay out of harm's way and you bring skills to get you out of harm's way when things get sticky. This means bringing Mending Touch to burn off threatening conditions, or bringing an escape mechanism like Shadow Walk or even just Dash or ANY run stance really. Sometimes ONE skill like Shield Bash can be useful as an "oh shit" button, but after that you really need to just haul ass. My favorite AB warrior bar, which is my favorite largely because it is extremely survivable, has Frenzy on it, and Frenzy is not known for its usefulness in tanking.

- Third, you're a warrior, you're the bottom-priority target, so what do you need 4 tank skills for anyway? Bring some offense.

- Fourth, you can own the entire build with your WASD keys. No snare, no speed boost, gg. Worse than a touch ranger.

- Fifth, 12 Strength is ftl.

Wow so instead of maybe getting some decent spikable numbers from Strength, these warriors chose to do a constant 34?
