To be a little more clear I'm working on weapon customization right now

I run a Godmode build and sometimes a HB for farming ecto. Right now I have a plus 15% damage inscription and a +5 armor pommel as a placeholder. Don't have a hilt yet. I'm stuck between deciding on a Furious hilt or a vampiric one.

please be more specific for what build you want advise for a hilt on.

MisterB · Oct 24, 2009, 10:45 PM // 22:45

Why limit yourself to just one? Try being an angry, bloodthirsty, elemental zealot.
Weapon swap is your friend. There's no such thing as too many weapons; build an arsenal!

hehe...fair enough. Is there a good place to farm for those type of weapons so I could pull the hilts off of them? I've combed over wiki and I haven't found diddly.

to be specific, the Zealous, Vampiric, and furious types.

He said he runs the Godmode build. It becomes more clear when he uses the word pommel, confirming that it is the Godmode D-slasher.

Take both, Furious for when you need more adrenaline, and Vamp for when you need more damage. Even Zealous can come in handy from time to time.

Chest running is probably the fastest. I found a fair amount of weapon upgrades from raptors in HM, and it's very fast for a warrior with Hundred Blades. Or you can just sell the ToT bags for gold to buy the mods outright.

What he said! ^

Love the title by the way, very attractive. Kudos.

Grey Hawthorne · Oct 24, 2009, 11:39 PM // 23:39

Thanks, I'll go do that guys

now lemme switch it up a bit now that I have your attention...what about a shield? what extra little goodies should I pick up for one of those bad boys. (Str shields btw)

Konker2020 · Oct 25, 2009, 12:09 AM // 00:09

Depends on what you're doing, in most cases going with HP+30 and -2dmg while in stance is usually your best bet. In situations where you are heavily enchanted, possibly switch the while in stance inscript for a while enchanted one... or some prefer -5dmg 20% chance, which I dislike because of its randomness.

If you are PvPing, its usually good to get al+ vs elements, reduced blind duration, etc.

Grey Hawthorne · Oct 25, 2009, 12:17 AM // 00:17

sounds good. And I agree. I'd rather keep my dps up and trade a little of my health.

jonnieboi05 · Oct 25, 2009, 01:45 AM // 01:45

No melee/projectile should be without Furious, Vamp, Zealous, and an Elemental. Ever.

And YES, weapon swapping IS your friend.

vamp or gtfo

Lux Aeterna · Oct 25, 2009, 04:54 AM // 04:54

I usually use a furious with that, the difference isn't huge but definitely noticable.

Lishy · Oct 25, 2009, 02:30 PM // 14:30

I often swap between zealous, vamp, and elemental.
Elemental is for out of combat+places where strong
Meanwhile, zealous rocks for energy and vamp damage is really a nice addition.

Furious with its 10% is not reliable enough.

Reverend Dr · Oct 25, 2009, 10:20 PM // 22:20

The slowdown of adrenaline use in the d-slash build are the non-attack adrenal skills using up a strike of adrenaline. It doesn't matter how much extra adren gain you stack, it won't cover that up as you are going to have to land a blow in between each adrenal use.

D-slash alone is enough adrenal gain; if you are also using enraged charge and for great justice, there really is no reason in the world to bring furious. The only mod that would be worse would be using an elemental weapon on a ranger mob.

Like everyone else has said, get a bunch of weapons and swap. Even if you don't like the skins, get some appropriately modded green weapons until you can get the appropriately modded skins you want.

Tenebrae · Oct 26, 2009, 09:57 AM // 09:57

Vampiric > Elemental > Zealous , in that order . Furious is not needed for that build ....... maybe only in downtimes of FGJ but pse , 10% not worth imo.

_Nihilist_ · Oct 27, 2009, 11:25 PM // 23:25

Keep a Furious Spear handy for when you have to have extra Adrenaline gain. The only thing you should need on most of your weapons is Vampiric, Elemental, and Zealous.

Generally, I keep the following weapon-sets on my Warr @ all times:

Vampiric
Zealous
Elemental
Furious Spear

and if I need to pull, hit F9 to open my inventory and swap to my Flatbow, fire off a shot, then swap right back to whatever weapon I did have equipped once the arrow flies.

Furious is useful for Dragon Slash builds when you go up against things that can't be knocked down. Apart from that, Whirlwind Attack or Steelfang Slash should keep you covered.

For shields, I run with all kinds of shields. +45 HP in a stance and -2 damage in a stance are awesome. I also run with various +45 HP in a stance and +10 armor against <element>, and I run a blind -20% inscription. For PVP, use +30 HP instead.

That said, I still maintain that there isn't a noticeable difference between +45 HP in a stance and +30 HP. Even when I get hit with Wild Blow by Jade Armors, I don't feel it. I run it because I run sentinel's and like having 625 HP instead of 610 - it's purely superficial for me.

Same thing for weapons: I can see why so many people run 15^stance, but 15^50, if you have a good backline, should be fine too, and I prefer 15^50 in NM because I have to use Flail more sparingly. For god-mode, 15/-5e is what I'd ideally run, but since I use shadow blades I can't inscribe, I'm stuck with 15^50, and that's okay.

I prefer 15^50 actually. But in HM it doesn't matter that much anyway.

Winterclaw · Oct 29, 2009, 03:36 PM // 15:36

Usually I just use zealous.

Furious is a good alt mod if you aren't carrying a conjure weapon skill.
