Axe W/Mo Question - Guild Wars Forums

Ginny · Nov 06, 2005, 07:08 PM // 19:08

I have a level 13 W/Mo (PvE) around the Gates of Kryta so far. I would like to focus on damage mainly, but tough enough to not be dying constantly.

1. What kinds of skills should I be using at this point (level 13)?

I have Cyclone Axe, Executioner's Strike, Mending, Shielding Hands, Healing Signet, Symbol of Wrath, Bane Signet, Res Signet.

7 Strength
7 Axe Mastery

2. What should I be shooting for skill wise for a level 20 Axe W/Mo? And what attributes as well.

Thank you

I use cleave, executioners, cyclone, distrupting chop, breeze, bonetties, mending and rebirth

Cyclone axe is excellent in pve for building up adrenaline. You can use it in conjunction with bonetti's defense for some good tanking.

In general, I'd recommend you put points in tactics in order to be a good tank. You're not going to do considerable damage unless you specifically devote your warrior to it, which will take a lot away from your tanking capabilities and get you killed a lot more.

Some good skills for tanking:
watch yourself
doylak signet
gladiator's defense
bonetti's defense
- any one of those other stances that evade attacks, don't remember their names.

First of all your weapon you are using must not be >req7 which is what your axe mastery is. Also the shield you are using cant be more then req=7 strenght. Other wise the shield or axe will be at 1/2power.

I have seen so many low lvls using a max weapon but the req=10 and they are set at req7 which is a no no. So first make sure your axe is req7 or less and your shield is req7 (strenght or less). It helps to have mods on your weapons like Sundering Furious or Vamp / with Sundering the best on down the line to Vamp. Next +HP or echantment on the hilt. Get a SHield that has +HP and maybe -2rec etc.
Personally I'm a W/mo and i use alot of smiting. Balthzar aura Balthzar spirit Symbol of wrath zeolots fire healing hands Bonetti defense and the normal axe or sword skills
I have healing and smiting set at 9 and have axe and strenght set at 10 and axe set at 10, PP at 4 and tactics at 4. But these are changeable and you can experiment with different setup.
I have Glad armor and i have +28 energy with max axe's and swordswith a +45 +6armor shield but i
have a switch i can pull to get 55Energy because im set at Healing P at 9
and have a icon to gvie me 27 more E. and 30more HP. Being i use smiting a also got a smiting staff max to the hilt, i comes in handy at different times in the game and because im set at smit9 and its a 9 i get 100% effect from it.

My best advice you can hear, get to Draknor Forge asap and get your best armor. (pay a runner to get there, Glad is my favorite because of the extra Energy, save enough for different Helms axe strengh and tactics helms +1 and apply a minor of the same to it. That will give you a +2 without any penalty and be able to switch up for what every need you have. Get collector armors later on thats max to make switches with too.

Once you get your armor get back to the point you left off and continue the game.

Personally Gates of Kryta (Sundrels rise is where i lvl'd up and farmed for a week) I went from 13 to 18 and saved up enought for my armor great weapon and shields. Those mobs were easy and i did it solo to get max gold and items. I could handle them realitivly easy ventureing off further and further as i got higher in lvl. But in the one week in SundrelsRIse i had 100K and lvl from 13to18, and never touched a chest, strickly fighting. Farming is boring but its a evil neccessity. No setup is best just experment and have fun.

If you want to i can show you a zone in SoundrelsRise that gets you more XP cause the mobs are stronger but you can run for cover if needed.

I would like to mainly set up to do damage. What types of skills would devote a warrior to damage as you mentioned above?

Thank you all for the replies
