Kinda new to GW. i only have Prophecies atm. i started a PvP w/mo and my build looks like this...

[build=OQMTEVKXxwvAOwadvWMACAA]

Any Feedback? thanks alot

For my friend's prophecies only account: I recommended him to use the good old shock-axe. (Not the one with primal rage).

Just incase you dont know what Keekles is talking about.
W/E
12+1+1 Axe
12+1 Str
3 Air Magic
[Eviscerate][Executioner's Strike][Disrupting Chop][Bull's Strike][Shock][Frenzy][Rush][Resurrection Signet]
Alternativly you could drop [Disrupting Chop] for [Healing Signet] and put 8/10 in tactics and 8/10 in str.

that build was used in the beginning of guildwars (pre-factions) (AFAIK)

PS: replace [[frenzy] with [[flurry]
with a 20 sec recharge cancel stance, the only 'dumb bastard' [[frenzy] will kill, is you

Rush for Purge Conditions. Reason? Maintainable IMS. Bull's Charge has a 20 second recharge and ends on skill use which means if you put up Frenzy, you won't be seeing it as much and you've got a more on-demand IMS as a whole. I'd probably also use Bull's Strike aswell because I'm a KD hog.

Also, Shock Axe as shown above would probably be better.

so are the axes ultimately better?, and how would i get an axe since i started off with a sword?

Purged Conditions seemed very useful to me. I replaced Rush with Bull's Strike... is that a bad idea?

You can't be serious.

OP: Stick with the classic shock axe. Its a build that persisted for almost 4 years for a very good reason. Further, its probably the best build for teaching you to play a warrior well - you have to learn about watching for protection and recognising animations/sounds, target switching, off target adrenaline building, stance balancing, managing energy with a limited pool and chaining knockdowns.

Shock Axe FTW. Bull's Charge is shit.

i would recommend heal sig. in place of a skill like dchop because its RA and ur not always with a monk.

but shock axe 100% if u want to win at RA lolz

If you ever do get NF though, [skill]lion's comfort[/skill]>Healing Sig.

It builds adren and doesn't split att points into tactics. Healing sig is asking to get interrupted and -40 armor is not helping.

For a pvp, press the key that looks like this: J

A whole new world will open where you can create almost any item

Conjure sword for you, OP. A lot of people will say it won't deal remotely close to amount of damage as Conjure Axe does, but bleeding and deep wound makes all the difference. Damage can be nullified, especially when there's a monk with heavy healing. Bleeding and deep wound decreases the effects of healing in addition to the extra damage with the conjure. A good team will take advantage of that and help you kill off the opponent.

^

Conjure Axe builds usually have [[Eviscerate] aswell. Only difference between the two is that Evis doesn't need Sever (it sucks) to start you off.

idiot and/or troll is idiot and/or troll?

you could also try endurance axe...

[Power Attack][Protector's Strike][Dismember][Bulls Strike][Warrior's Endurance][Frenzy][Rush]-[Lion's Comfort]OR[Ressurection Signet]

that's one of my personal favorites, LC in CM, AB, Res in HA, GvG, RA, TA.
