Default 20 energy enough for iway w/r?

i've been doing iway with pvp w/r (full glad armor n exec helm) for 27 energy.

unfortunately my pve w/r has 20 energy, so should i get +5e axe for iway? or still use 15>50 axe?

I've iway'd in full platemail and the only time I ever had energy issues was if my energy was being drained, I laugh at all the people that think that you MUST have glads in any build.

Why are you so dead set on doing it with your pve char?

Do you not have any slots left open? It'd be much easier to make a pvp char and use glads armor.

Warriors are about damage. Carrying +5e weapons instead of a damage modifier is just plain stupid.

get gladiators maybe? taking +5 energy over 15>50 is just plain dumb on a warrior.

Then you're not using Tiger's Fury enough. The only semi-viable alternative to Glad's in an IWAY build is Berserker's Armour.

yer if u have glad armor why wouldn't u use 15>50??

but the prob is my pve w/r has fissure with 20 energy, n i dont want to get 2nd armor. (lets just say im stuck with 20 energy)

so i'm asking simple question, 20 energy enough for iway w/r? or use +5e axe for 25 energy? last time i made pvp w/r with 20 energy i ran out of energy for TF few times but i'll test again i guess.

Yeap

Warriors place in PvP is high damage dealers, and giving up a 15% bonus damage increase for something you can get from armor plus some? Seems insanely counterproductive.

To be honest, I find it quite shocking that you even have to ask if 20 energy is enough if you didn't have enough for TF when you did it.

You never answered my previous question though. Why are you so intent on doing this with your PvE char. Glads armor is only a couple *free* clicks away with a pvp char.

zealous axe + tigers fury = 20 energy should not be a problem

yea wear that wyvern/dragons/platemale. absorption and shield dmg redux only work vs physical now.

and dont choose +5 energy over 15^50 otherwise your damage will be laughable.


but if you got chance to mod your fow, get a chest that is 90 AL + 10% bonus vs physical, 2 gladiator pieces (leggings and boots) and 1 piece dmg redux vs physical (ascalon, knights).

Max energy matters for about 10s in the battle. How often are you going above 20e?

Go with 15>50, it's better than +5e.

The question is not if it's enough energy. The question is if it will overpower you enough to make up for your lack of skill.

/flame on.

energy gain > energy pool

basicly with a zealous axe you can even have 20 energy but you will never feel the loss becouse you will always have enough energy

No you need a +5 energy weapon, full AL 15 gladiators armor, that +5 energy shield from ascalon, and frenzy + heal sig.
