PvE Sword Warrior Build - Guild Wars Forums

Sir Tidus · Jul 21, 2008, 04:24 PM // 16:24

I have always been struggling with warrior builds since I only have Prophecies and EotN. Can anyone show me some good general PvE sword warrior builds (with any core secondary profession) made with only Prohpecies and EotN skills (note: I don't have Flail, so I assume that I must use Frenzy)? Thanks in advance.

[dragon][fgj][frenzy] spam dragon over and over or [crippling slash] both can be found in eotn and i believe a reasonable crip slash build can be made from just campaigns you have

edit: once i can get in game i can give you a full build but those 2 are something to build around

You can create effective Sword builds with only Proph skills, but you might be better off with Axe.

That being said, here is a sword build

[frenzy][sever artery][gash][power attack][final thrust][rush][for great justice][Resurrection Signet]

Res could be swapped for Healing Signet and Power attack for [Desperation Blow] - I like to have at least one energy attack for use when adren is low or if you need a follow up attack after Final Thrust.

he does NOT have Factions or Nightfall so he can NOT cap either Dragon Slash or Crippling Slash!!!

Um, no elites?

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure u can't use them even if u capture them unless u have Factions and Nightfall. At least that's what I've been told.

ok sorry i did not know this but i think you should if that matters well you always could go [ursan] or old school pally

But then why is [dragon slash] labeled as a Factions skill and [crippling slash] labeled as a Nightfall skill?

theonetheonlybruce · Jul 21, 2008, 05:02 PM // 17:02

lol i edited what i said but yeah i was wrong i just looked it up i though you could sorry

Sir Tidus · Jul 21, 2008, 05:33 PM // 17:33

Um, can anyone else come up with a build?

Xx Da Best Xx · Jul 21, 2008, 05:45 PM // 17:45

You could Probably use Hundred Blades (idk how to make it show the icon thing)...thats about the only sword elite you could use w/o factions/nf.Personally id just use axes.

Molock · Jul 21, 2008, 05:46 PM // 17:46

You could make a sword build but the chances are you won't have any elite unless you insists on using Hundred Blades.

[Hundred Blades][Sever Artery][Gash][Body Blow][Savage slash][Frenzy][Rush][Conjure frost]

12+1+1 Swordsmanship
9+1 Strength
9 Water Magic (or whatever element your sword is)

Use an elemental sword if you want to deal more decent damage with a conjure. You could also bring [For Great Justice] instead of [Savage slash] as it works quite well with [Hundred Blades].

I'd have to agree with this. Without Nightfall or Factions, I'd scrap a sword build in all honesty and go down a [Eviscerate] based axe build. A good solid axe elite from Prophecies.

Lector G · Jul 21, 2008, 05:54 PM // 17:54

not the best in the world but

[sever][gash][hundred][frenzy][conjure flame][FGJ!][rush][res sig]

meh like i said not great maybe someone can fix it or just trash it lol either way gl

-edit- molock beat me :P

uzumaki · Jul 21, 2008, 06:08 PM // 18:08

Why do most of these PVE builds have frenzy in them? nobody else thinks thats a bad idea? I would use a tank build and let my heroes do the damage
