Curse

Lo The Fallen · Jun 08, 2009, 03:15 PM // 15:15

So my warrior has been my main for 2 years now and i've finally found a build that shells out crazy damage and is useful for most any area

1 Dwarven Stability
2 Warriors Endurance
3 Tiger Stance
4 Power Attack
5 Dismember
6 Protector's Strike
7 -Optional-
( i use wild blow in stance heavy areas/poison tip sig for degen)
8 Your Choice of Rez / optional

Wild blow ends stances making sure that you will always hit
Dwarven stability will keep tiger stance up indefinitely with a delver rank 5+

Try it out!

Neo Atomisk · Jun 08, 2009, 03:22 PM // 15:22

I think that a scythewar or HB outdamages that, ill try it out when i get home.
you also lack Asuran Scan, about the biggest dmg booster there is, so take out res and throw in asuran scan, youll be one of the first to die anyways

WE scythe > WE axe
Tiger Stance is horrible
Prot Strike is largely useless

It's good.

Needs more flail (or frenzy). Needs more cyclone axe and whirlwind.

Unless u are talking about BoBBy2 using too many words, in PvE Protector's Strike is irrelevant.

Neo Atomisk · Jun 08, 2009, 04:57 PM // 16:57

unless you're runnin with an orders, support or u have SaH on you, prot strike is useless.
Power Strike is a far better alternative either way.

Ratson Itamar · Jun 08, 2009, 05:04 PM // 17:04

You can only keep Tiger Stance up constantly with 15+ str and deldrimor rank 10.

Beomagi · Jun 08, 2009, 05:15 PM // 17:15

Prot and Power generally go together for me. If you're getting a bonus from conjure, ward, soh or orders, take prot strike. While there's no bonus on it's own usually, you get the bonus from whatever buffs you're taking - and if it's significant, use it. It speeds up adrenaline gain, throws out an attack in 1/3 of a second instead of .9 sec, and since it's the same recharge as power attack, you usually don't have to worry about wasting recharge time when spamming skills.

Tiger's stance is pretty weak. One block and your ias is down. If you have high strength, consider burst of aggression. You can maintain ias almost constantly without dwarven stability - and while it drops all adrenaline at the end, dismember wont take much time to rebuild.

btw - the ias skill + warrior endurance + power attack + spammable attack skills setup is kinda common now.

Axe has a good chance to hit crits, and 33% boost does some good, but scythewar and 33% can out-damage it, because of the bigger dmg range

For an Endurance Warrior, really go Scythe. It's about the best melee weapon for PvE because it's AoE.

[build prof=Warrior/Dervish Scythe=12 Strength=12+1+1][Warrior's Endurance (PvE)][Power Attack][Eremite's Attack][Protector's Strike][Asuran Scan][Aura of Holy Might]["Save Yourselves!"][Optional][/build]
- [[Body [email protected]] for a hard-hitting adrenal based attack skill (and a possible source of DW).
- [[Enraging [email protected]] to charge "Save Yourselves!"
- [[Rending Touch] for Removing key enchantments.
- [[Wild Blow] to Remove blocking stances, keep in mind it makes you lose all adrenaline.
- [[Pious [email protected]] to inflict Deep Wound. Keep in mind it'll remove any enchantment on you. It would be wise not to equip any enchantment skills.
- [[Resurrection Signet]/[[Sunspear Rebirth Signet] for obvious reasons.
- [[Distracting Blow]/[[Distracting Strike] to interrupt key skills.
- [["Dodge This!"] against Blocking and additional damage.
- [["I Am The Strongest!"] for additional damage.
- [[Feel No Pain] for increased survivabilty.
- [[Great Dwarf Armor] for an armor and hp buff.
- [[Warrior's [email protected]] for temporary unblockable attacks.
- [[Club of a Thousand Bears] for an energy based KD.
- [[Brawling Headbutt] for an adrenaline based KD.
- [[[email protected]] or [[[email protected]].

You already have 3 PvE skills, so all those optional ones aren't available. FWIW, I prefer [victorious sweep] over [eremite's attack], as you always get +25 damage (instead of +9/18/27/30), it has no activation time, plus the potential for 70(140/210? - concise description) healing.

Paul Dawg · Jun 08, 2009, 08:05 PM // 20:05

Why do people keep making builds with [tiger stance]? We've gone over the problems with [tiger stance] several times just in the past few weeks. If this is a PvE war, use [flail]--and then you won't need [dwarven stability], either, because you should easily be able to reapply [flail] before it runs out. That frees up a slot for a more useful PvE-only skill.

Winterclaw · Jun 08, 2009, 09:54 PM // 21:54

It seems like the people that suggest tiger stance are often new to the forums.

Use flail or frenzy as a stance and you'll be fine.

**Marty Silverblade** · Jun 08, 2009, 11:09 PM // 23:09

In HM you're going to get blocked/miss fairly often; way too much to rely on TS an your IAS. Even with 100% upkeep, it sucks.

Lo The Fallen · Jun 09, 2009, 03:05 AM // 03:05

Well, thanks for the input guys....i'm not really new, unless you count 2 years of playing as new =O.

I use tiger stance in this build b/c i don't like the slow down of flail...and using a scythe on a warrior is just odd to me, may not be best damage but i didn't say the build was flawless lol..just a nice suggestion.

It seems to work great for me in HM and NM. i guess you just have to try something out before you knock it.

And another thing, enemy AI has them constantly kiting and such so some enemys move a lot, i've hit 100+ with protector's strike..

If hitting 100 damage in 1/4 a second is bad? i guess i'll take it off my bar lol

dusanyu · Jun 09, 2009, 06:56 AM // 06:56

hammer with no kd makes jack a sad panda

bungusmaximus · Jun 09, 2009, 07:25 AM // 07:25

Scythe warr with frenzy is baed since you don't have a shield, needs flail.

Tenebrae · Jun 09, 2009, 08:35 AM // 08:35

Well for the crits , scythe is better on Sin hands. For 2 handed warriors Hammers rox the hell out hands down , go on with that.

Eremite's activation time makes it always hit faster then victorious, even with an ias, and I don't think there's any aftercast like with the ranger 1/2 attack skills. Idealy in PvE since you're melee you'll always be getting the +30 if you group them right. Though I like Mystic Sweep cause I can just micro the heroes to throw some prot or smite buffs at me and go on a rampage. The healing is sort of irrelevant unless you're farming.

Yichi · Jun 09, 2009, 05:19 PM // 17:19

So im curious actually as to why you would run WE as your elite since it will cancel out TS now...

As for the comment about don't knock something until you have tried it, well there are warrior builds out there that have better skill usage and synergy than this one does, that is why people are advising against the build or changing the build.
