Now i got skill like "I am the Strongest!" and Dragon slash,so now my damage improved a bit,though it still sucks a bit(Eg:today against liv 17 devourer in prophecies i was hitting 40-70 and i'm liv 20..).
Yes maybe i also lack of aggressiveness(more Berserk,rawr ^^) and adrenaline control.
With hard training and lot of pratice i hope i will get better.
Actually i have tried times ago a dervish and an assassin,and didn't get any damage problem with them,maybe they are a bit easier to use(finesse matter?).Argh.

Even without the last 30 attribute points, run at 14 swordsmanship.
Make sure you buy a +1 swordsmanship headgear and stick a +1 swordsmanship rune on it.

To be honest, I don't see why people are running Asura Scan on any W/ builds.

I've been playing my Warrior now for 3 days. I just finished all the Asura quests so I could get Air of Superiority, which I use on my 100lols build to maintain FGJ and 100B. While doing the cipher quests, I tried each PvE skill as I got them.

Asura scan failed pretty hard. It's +45%~ damage against ONE target. Who cares? When I'm running Whirlwind, hundred blades, buffed with SoH and Orders. I expect the whole mob to die close enough together. The 3 PvE skills should be used sparingly, and with more thought.

Just my opinion, but for those that love it so much admit you must dedicate your whole build to spamming it. And if you can't spam it, why bother?

It's +75% damage (if it's not, work on your title) and it multiplies all straight damage directly related to your attack (base, skill, SoH, OOP). Yes it's pointless if you fight 50 billion enemies at once, so? You don't do that all the time.

Tbh i dont see why you dont see it. Is worth taking in all W builds except the AoE ones ( only HB and ES ) . Take it with Asura Rank 6+ and that skill can make stupid bars with Cleave or underused elites do decent damage ...... Asuran scan is bloody powerful on Any melee and thats not an opinion , its a fact .

Asuran Scan is godly for spiking down targets quickly. If you were doing 80 damage without it, you'd be doing 140 damage with it. Nuff said really.

If you have the energy to use it, take it. Even at lower ranks it adds huge damage. Well worth a skill slot. Not so much for AoE builds but with DS spammers or or other single target DPS builds it's great.

You're probably in NM, I imagine you casting asuran scan, then you hear a clicking sound, you ask "wtf did I get interrupted?". But then you figure out that asuran scan didn't finish casting because the mob died too fast. You then proceed to yell "wtfhowthathappen asuran scan has no cast time?!?!"

A Dervish can hit up to 2 adjacent enemies plus the target on every attack, and Scythes have a max damage of 41.

Assassins get ridiculous bonus damage on a lot of the Dagger attacks, not to mention AoE damage when running Moebius Strike+Death Blossom.

Warriors take time to get used to, but are the best overall balanced of the 3. Adrenaline management in and of itself (when using a non-WE build) is critical to your performance - if you can't learn to manage your Adr, you're going to have a rough time playing as a Warrior.
