Err?? Isn't the spider damage physical + poison? Oh! You must not be using Knight’s armor. Slap together a cheap full set of knights armor and your spidering should literally be better than ever.

So, vampiric is the same or better.

not entirely correct

vamp = physical+3 damage
ele = elemental, bypassing shield reduction and rune reduction = at least +3 damage
So so far, it's the same...

However, when fighting a warrior, elemental gets the equivalent of 20%, 10% or 0% ap if you consider the warrior to have 100AL. It's confusing.
When fighting a monk with judges, it's the equivalent of eh, dunno, but it's ap
For other classes its meh.

But when fighting a warrior, I won't use vamp, I will use elemental

When fighting somethign that has 60 AL with no bonuses, vamp is obviously better...... unless you conjure the element.

Oh boy...

had'nt run droks in long time.. friend needed someone run in his guild- ran it without a problem- did a couple tests pve it really did'nt impact tanking much.. mainly switched to rit for farming anyway

not too good of an opinion.. have'nt been playing- check rachtoh's posts, he's a warrior expert

Hmm... forgot the shields. But yeah, I was just going for the basics.

I thought the nerf would have a somewhat big impact on warriors. Surprisingly, I dont see a hugh difference. I havent changed my playstyle as a warrior at all.

I haven't made any big changes just to all Glads and put my absorbtion rune on my chest.It would be nice if the rune was changed back though I thought Gaile said they would look into that.

Wasn't a big deal unless you solo because your monks just have to heal you a few more times in about...10 minutes or so.

My warrior used to be able to tank 35 Aatxes at once but now he explodes as soon as I exit Serenity Temple. Curse you ANet! I used to carry a Flute as an offhand but now I have to carry one of those +5 energy Runic Shields for the extra armor!

Loki Seiguro · Aug 12, 2006, 02:06 AM // 02:06

change? nope havent felt the sting.....and as for fighting other warrios thats not really a problem as i usually have back up most of the time

Spent around 800k replacing 4 pieces of fow armor to knights, and another 500k or so on elemental shields of every kind, and another 50k or so on a GPB of warding

. But ya, not much game play difference except major gold sinkage (which I am sure ANET loves)
