Default Can warriors use discord heroes?

Hey, i was wondering if the discord build still works if my main is a warrior? Due to lack of energy and being unable to spam Assassins promise ,would it still work if heroes had the skill? If anyone could post their build on how it works when being a warrior it would help a lot.

Thanks

Try slotting Succor on your N/Mo for the additional +1 energy regen for yourself. You'll be up to +3 regen which is pretty decent. However, you'll probably be unable to spam "Finish Him!" like the +4 energy class can. Finish Him! isn't really needed so you should do fine with +3 energy regen.

Just don't rush ahead with monsters with strip enchantment. You'll have to constantly reapply it if that happens. It's pretty annoying.

My advice is use the Sabway necros or AoL necro/dual rits with a warrior. I have tried Discord with my warrior and found it very inefficient. Here is a general build for a W/A Caller.

It's not very different than any other though.

When on my war i occassionally tried running a Warriors Endurance Build then slotting in YMLAD + Asuran Scan, and dismember, power attack.
I forget the rest but it worked decently without energy problems

U can use discord heroes without a caller without any problem if one of your necros use curses (I would base the necro heroes on sab builds but tweaked to slot in discord as the elite).

Your warrior can use regular warrior builds - Earth Shaker warrior, WE Axe or scythe, DS warrior, etc.

Some skills your warrior can use to facilitate the use of discord like Asuran Scan, Grasping Earth, dismember, slot in Withering Aura (on a hero), etc.

I'll refer u to this thread - http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10385384 - for more details

I'm not seeing a problem. Warriors should have two things on their bars anyways...

Asuran scan
Some sort of condition

So there you go. IF you wanted to be more of a caller, I would recommend a bar similar to this one...

12 deadly
9+1+1 str
9 dagger mastery

AP
Black Mantis Strike
Iron Palm
Falling Lotus
Death Blossom
Rush
Flail (Or frenzy)
Save Yourselves! (Why not?), or some sort of interrupt

Or, you could take
AP
Jagged Strike
Lotus Strike
Mantis Touch
Death Blossom
Rush
Flail (Or frenzy)
Save Yourselves! (Why not?), or some sort of interrupt

When I was playing around with it (before ArkFenway came along) I just threw Parasitic Bond and Withering Aura somewhere on the heroes. Then you're free to run whatever you want, like Godmode.

I've used Godmode with Discord, it worked well in many places but I've had serious problems due to constant blind in dungeons (SoO, Bloodstone caves HM).

Ruins of Morah HM 2:44 double Discord.

Dismember
Brawling Headbutt
Low Blow
Ear Bite
Lion's Comfort (or beastial mauling)
Battle Rage
Enraged Charge

Asuran Scan
Earth Shaker

Auspicious Blow
Crude Swing

^slaughters stuff with discord heroes, free energy, and you have flexibility in the rest of the bar. You keep stuff pinned for MoP/Barbs, I set one of my necroes for N/P with Inspirational speech and withering aura so I'm constantly charged and hitting stuff for conditions, and the other is set as a N/Mo with smiting and hex/condition busts with strength of Honor. I love auspicious blow...

I ran scythe warrior with [crippling sweep] and [asuran scan]/[pain inverter]. Worked just fine.

Also, [you move like a dwarf] helps!

Sabway FTW, i have a m8 that runs Sabway with his warrior and he rolls through VQ's like u cant believe, so my suggestion....Sabway

its easily put together and weapons dont cost much to have made or to buy in trade, very effective for low cost

Discord works great but not always. Think about where you're going before just loading up Discord templates.

Example, Discord worked perfectly with 2 wars frontlining in Frostmaw's, Ravens Point, Dagrimmar and a few others, however, we got hammered in Rragars (both HM ofc), I'm going to try Rragars with ArkFenway next to see if that improves things unless anyone has any better ideas?

2 War frontline is set in stone for us since that the only chars we have that have finished EOTN.

Warrior's usually have some trouble spamming a 5e skill. The safest bet for Discord is to use a WE axe build, because Dismember can spam Deep Wound like nothing else, and WE allows for limitless energy which allows for the spamming of attack skills and Asuran Scan alike.

Also, don't think of bringing AP on a Warrior. Warriors don't need the energy unless running something like Power Attack (in which case WE is better) and they don't need the recharge bonus, having attack skills. It's wasteful as an elite and painful to break a Warrior's flow, as well as painful to sub into Deadly Arts which carries aforementioned benefits Warriors simply don't need.
