frenzy on a PR bar?

oh and yeah, going from R0 to R12 as a Warrior in AB only means 1 thing: you've spent way too much time ABing
it doesn't say anything about skill or doing things "properly" cause most people in AB are totaly clueless, so everything works in there

but meh, if you wish to run [defy pain] and other attrocities in serious PvP than I'd say good luck with that, hope I won't be in your team...

P.S there's a difference between being creative and messing around for the sake of "creativity"

I got this E-Smash bar I like for RA/FA:

[Enraged Smash][Pulverizing Smash][Counter Blow][Hammer Bash][Enraging Charge][Rush][Rending touch] and [Flail]or res sig or [lion's comfort]

I think counter blow is underrated in these small arenas, owns all NPCs and AI, and I was raping assassins, derv, wars, and casters that were dumb enough to wand and basically living in IMS running stuff to ground.

About [defy pain] on a cyclone axe war it's decent for ganking a cap point, just stick [defy pain][cyclone axe][dismember][agonizing chop][enraging charge][lion's comfort] and any IAS and maybe rush or some enchant stripping a teleport or something and you should roll the shrine on your own. Especially the ones with the air eles or rits. In JQ I could run up on a mine and survive pretty well against all the mesmers eles and junk they put on top of them and the shrines in AB are way, way weaker then in JQ.

Frenzy on a PR bar so you can attack at full speed even when you have to cancel PR before it's recharged.

Might switch counter blow into my hammer build over dblow.

I hit gwamm a few weeks ago and have sinnce moved on; so dont worry about running into me. To set things straight; I AB'ed 1/3 of the title and moved on to JQ afther the faction update. I got tired of haveing total idiots on my team in AB that didnt know what they where doing. I never synched; and believe me pound for pound DP in JQ is good because of the mega endurance; and you dont need to rely on someone else for healing. Most monks run RoJ nowadays anyway and are therfore unable to properly heal.

Everything in GW has its own special requirements. Being skillfull means being creative and adaptable depending on the requirements that a chalange poses. Dont putdown AB; JQ or FA. The mechanics and requirements are totally different from those of HA;HB and GvG. The former have an element of chance i.e. luck; meaning unless you synch your at the mercy of anet and whom the computer teams you up with.

P.S. I didnt mess around. I created and prevailed. And btw I maxed my title way faster than many casters guildm8s I know; so save me that crap about wasting my time.

it's not particularly hard to be "creative and prevail" in AB, i think that's the point. after all, i can do the same by running only 3 skills on my ranger, and i'll be just as successful as your defy pain build.

will i "create and prevail"? you bet. is it dumb? yep.

JQ's is quite possibly even lower on the skill requirement chart, so its not surprising you can "create and prevail" there as well.

It does require more skill than AB! Dont take my word for it. Ask around. So, go troll on the tech forum.
PM me ingame anytime you want a bruised ego. 1on1 w/. Your CC build against my creative build!

The only skill that JQ requires is dying at the right time so you can reach a Jug or turtle faster.

Oh and for the record, in terms of what proves your GW skills:

Just about everything PvP > AB > PvE > Feeding Goldfish > 1 v. 1 > JQ/FA

A fact poorly understood by every QQing btch who's called me an X for doing X

Example: random avatar of balth dervish chases me around for 5 minutes while I search for my party, then dies in 5 seconds (while I target kurzick backliners) before calling me a pussy and wanting to 1v1.

I know he's just going to give me bleeding, then regen +10 and spam signet of pious light/ vital boon and / or relog with an assacaster.

The last online RPG I played was Neverwinter Nights, and there we had specific rules for dueling such as: no healing, spellcasters duels spellcasters and melees duels melees, etcetera. 1v1 in GW is just shockingly bad.

JQ/FA and Ab are like 1 step above farming, it's just farming NPC shrines to see how many you can cap and how fast(faster then the other guys and you win). Defy Pain is a farming skill(used to use it to kill hydras), Makes you invincible VS NPCs, therefore it doesn't entirely suck for AB, like I said use defy pain, cyclone axe, dismember and agonizing, any non frenzy IAS and enraging charge and you can slaughter a shrine solo a standard prage axe or hammer couldn't because you'd get rolled even approaching the thing.
