Is there a good build that would work with hundred blades for PvE? I was thinking maybe a conjure with Hundred Blades or something like that. I generally always carry Enraging charge, Flail, and Lion's Comfort with my warrior builds too.

Whirlwind attack, sun and moon slash, and an IAS are your best options for a 100B build.

Whirlwind attk S&MSlash and IAS... maybe also a conjure. Big numbers~

Just popping to know what kind of mod you use for a Hundred Blades build I know if it is a Conjure is an elemental but for a Hundred Blades general use which one is the best?

I don't know why everyone says conjure hundred blades, I think it's overrated. Really wouldn't bother.

I used to use hundred blades with mark of pain, the x2 physical damage can put out like 400 per second across a mob if you hex corrrectly.

Don't trust a necro to use mark of pain, they simply cast it at random like any other hex.

The trick is to cast it on a high HP target in the middle of a group of adjacent, after which the mob loses half its hp in ~5 seconds.

Conjure is underwhelming on a warrior. It is a significant energy drain on a non-WE warrior and the extra damage isn't all that impressive. If you really want that boost bring the boosted S&H on a smiter and that extra damage won't be underwhelming.

All in all the extra damage from hundred blades is also underwhelming unless it is combined with something like mark of pain and/or barbs at which point it becomes extremely powerful.

Winterclaw · May 24, 2009, 11:08 PM // 23:08

10e every 60-72 seconds is hardly a big energy drain on a warrior who shouldn't be running a ton of e-skills to begin with. It's damage also ignores armor, which is good.

[brawling headbutt][sun and moon slash][whirlwind attack][Save Yourselves][hundred blades][frenzy][enraging charge][for great justice] + Rez scroll.

Swap Frenzy for Flail if you don't have confidence in your team's ability to keep you alive with Frenzy.

Oh, and find a friend who plays AP+MoP necro....

MoP/Hundred Blades combo is nice but it makes the enemy scatter. Not too sure on how to counteract that.

If there's a few dudes in the mob then Whirlwind Attack should do a massive spike of damage, and if they start running around then they'll be easy to pick off at that point. Running HB without WA is seriously screwing yourself over.

Mark of Pain(on a hero), Ebon Battle standard of honor, by ural's hammer every now and then for a little extra boost when you have them all balled up. Mobs go poof. I don't think Conjure increases the damage from Hundred blades at all.

Enraging charge, Whirlwind attack, EBSOH, Hundred Blades. That's all you need. A mob of 5 or more on you, they're at half health, even the warriors...because the EBSOH boost is armor-ignoring, as is the MOP splash. Just run in, aggro, get your adrenaline built up with enraging, let your necro cast MOP then Hundred blades + whirlwind attack = kaboom. I vanquished 2/3 of tyria with heroes and that build. I took on the mobs in Bloodstone Caves (at the end, with the two bosses and end guy, all at once) with a couple good monks to keep me up...that last mob in the dungeon just fell apart once I hit whirlwind. Sun and Moon slash is good utility, Barbarous slice and gash is good if you use an IAS consumable...otherwise flail and Sever/gash. Using a consumable allows you to take a rez or added damage boost, or protector's strike for when they start scattering.

No it doesn't. They would scatter, but they never get a chance to because they die instantly.

This is a fabulous combo with HB, but it's still a 10e spell, and you're still a warrior. Leave EBSoH to a caster teammate.

Nah, I'll use it like I've used it since the update: Just fine, thanks.

10e for the battle standard, 5e for the stance, 5e for Hundred blades...that's 20 energy. Use a zealous sword and all your energy is back after spamming your adrenal attack skills, and 20 second recharge on all skills means you're 100% ready to go for the next mob. 20 energy every 20 seconds, with 2 energy every 3 seconds from your two pips of recharge means you've got a deficit of only 6 energy every 20 seconds going non-stop. If it's a non-stop battle, you really don't have to keep using the stance, but if you have a zealous sword your energy will be topped off after 5 seconds if you aggro correctly. I was using an elemental sword(icy tormented sword) and cupcakes/candy apples for an extra 20 energy but I still had enough to keep going even without the energy return from zealous. A Murakai's blade would do perfectly.

And how is a caster using EBSOH going to help you unless they run up to aggro to cast it? If YOU cast it, the enemies will scatter due to HB but they'll still be in the standard so you'll still get your damage buff. Minions, summoned assassins all get the buff as well, so it's a perfect addition on any frontliner's build.

Conjures is for the old double hit hundred blades, where you get double damage from hitting twice. Nowadays, better off just being pure physical and barbs+mop and splinter on a hero.

Paul Dawg · May 27, 2009, 03:35 AM // 03:35

If you want to use [mark of pain], I really think a human has to do it with [assassin's promise]. Otherwise the recharge is ghastly. On heroes I use [barbs], and they run it about as well as can be done.

I'd like to point out you'd only have one pip of energy because of zealous.
