How does my weary Gear compare in this large game we love to call GuildWars?

I'd like your honest opinion

these are the items i have been able to gather as my personal collection over this time I have been playing

let me explain some of these =)

the first one remains unchanged from since I purchased it, i thought it was preatty good at the time and it still is. I still use the weapon frequently

the second one was the last addition to my personal stuff some weeks ago. it was a plain 15-22 falchion with a +14% while health above 50% i worked so hard at finding a seller for.

then since i focus alot on bleeding skills, i added a barbed hilt, which I know some people dont like so much but it already enhanced greatly the skills I was using

that +25 health pommel of fortitude big boy i bought after once again much hunting and reading through spam messages for sells lol. (somehow i can never find a higher pommel of fortitude =( )

the last is a picture of my current shield. it doesnt have any snazzy graphics or anything. However, what I HAVE noticed is that through all my searching, I have not been able to find another shield that could stand up to it (or perhaps my personal image of it) since most of the damage i take is slashing and that I am almost always in a stance.

But all this aside, what do you my friends think?

That second weapon is 1% damage off of perfect. You can mod it to be better, though.

theyre nice but the shield isnt too great.

what do you mean the shield isnt too great?

im a tactics warrior, and most damage i receive on the front line is usually sword or axe

that gives me 21 defence with this shield and im in a stance 95% of time so -1 damage extra?

whats bad about it?

most shields ive seen usually have +X health but always with a condition or some other stuff i dont find usefull

A better sheild for you would be +45 hp while in stance.

Btw.. you're a tactics warrior you say? In pve or pvp? Describe your build to me please.

Well im not the best lol and im at the thirsty desert now

im War Monk

i got 10 points into swordmanship and a helmet that does +1 to swordmanship and a minor swormanship rune so i guess 12

after that i have 11 into tactics, great for the healing signet, i think i get 127 or so health per shot with that

then i put 9 into shielding hands, that gives me -11 damage per hit with shielding hands

i also have a minor rune of absorbtion on my armor, a major rune of vigor and a minor rune of strength

my strength is only 5 (4 +1 from rune) but all of my attacking skills are swordmanship based.

I dont have any elite skills so i stick with the basics

I usually start off with a sever artery which induces bleeding, my sword doubles the length of that so that really helps me out with an ongoing life draining effect.

i usually go on with using endure pain (which gives me +160 health) or shielding hands (-11dmg per hit) before going into a frenzy state since it does more damage to me.

and end off with final thrust when a monster's health is below 50% (double damage)

kinda low tech but it works well for me

oh ya and in PvE lol
