Curse

Profession: Warrior/Assasin
Level: 20

Strength: 3 +1 +1
Hammer Mastery: 12 +2
Shadow Arts: 12

Skills:

Irresistible Blow (Hammer Mastery)
Mighty Blow (Hammer Mastery)
Staggering Blow (Hammer Mastery)
Shadow Form {Elite} (Shadow Arts)
Deaths Charge (Shadow Arts)
Endure Pain (Strength)
Shroud Of Distress (Shadow Arts)
Shadow Refuge (Shadow Arts)

I might consider different hammer attacks, but the main build is built on using Shadow Form while under heavy fire, when it ends use Endure Pain, Shadow Refuge, and Deaths Charge. Any ideas, I'm thinking of replacing Shroud Of Distress for Resurrection Signet. A major problem is the recharge time, either hope for a competent monk, all you need is a WoH here and there.

I don't think this build is too viable in TA.

first of all: always carry rez sig. there is no situation i can imagine where another skill would be of better value to you than a rezzed teammate.

next, i don't think your build is very focused. you have 3 attack skills, but no knockdowns. a warrior's job is for high damage, pressure, and disruption. you have mediocre damage from your 3 attack skills, but you have no 1) IAS stance. it's going to take forever for you to build adrenaline. 2) knockdown. a hammer warrior is expected to do quite a bit of disruption by keeping a caster down. 3) speed boost. how are you going to pressure when your target can just kite ad infinitum? i suppose death's charge qualifies but it only works once.

also, i feel your use of shadow arts is... superfluous. warriors are rarely targeted first in TA. most of the time you won't be the one needing to go into shadow form. you should have ~100AL vs physical and ~80AL vs elemental (if you use glads)

the only assassin skill i've seen used on a W/A is death's charge for obvious reasons. i would suggest you use a more typical hammer warrior build. not sure what you're going for here.

In Ta your better off running a standard sprint/rush hammer warrior with frenzy and better offense attacks then bringing a low damage and a buncha essentially useless skills. I assure you that you won't need more then sprint/rush to catch their boon prot...

Well, this actually belongs in random arenas but that doesn't exist. Of course if you're going in TA you need more strategy, but this works in RA because you are usually attacked there as a warrior 3/4 times.

Plus endure pain is bound to get you into trouble when it wears of...

Besides, know you'll probably get targeted last for any kind of psyhical damage.
