Curse

mojo8850 · Dec 28, 2008, 10:33 AM // 10:33

I have a Warrior which I started to play from the day of guildwars release.
After some PVP action and PVE I decided to come to a little alteration on my build. Now I would really appreciate for some of you lovely members to help make improvements..

Attribute :-

Axe Mastery 14(10+4)
Strength 11(10+1)
Tactis 6(5+1)
Smiting Prayers 10

Build Is : - [build=OQMkUVSak6o0TRUxUBcEfFAQ+w8A]
Please HELP..

Drop Smiting Prayers. If you need/want SoH, take a Smitter Monk with you, and let him cast on you.

After that, 12+1+1 Axe Mastery (Superior Runes are bad), drop tactics (Why are you using them if you don't have any tactics skill? If you are using a Tactics shield, try to change it to a Strength Shield) and put 12+1 on Strength.

Add [For Great Justice] if this is a PvE Build. [Executioners Strike] is a must on any Axe bar, IMHO.

Drop one of the "Penetrating" attacks. They are not as useful, and you don't really need both. I will take [Enraging Charge] in the optional Slot.

Would prefer

Axe 12+1+1
Str 8+1
Fire Magic 10

["For Great Justice" (PvE)][Cleave][Executioner's Strike][Body Blow][Dismember][Flail][Enraging Charge][Conjure Flame]

-Body Blow is just a generic attack I pulled off the top of my head, if theres a better one then use it.
-Drop the conjure for something else if you want.
-Enraging Charge is optional, drop it for something else if you want.

If you notice on the above build I have no energy when attacking, or once the enchanments are on.

The above builds are good for pve, but ur post mentioned both pve and pvp. So for PVP, I would suggest:

[Eviscerate][Executioners Strike][Agonizing Chop][Bull's Strike][Frenzy][Rush][Optional][Rez Sig]

Good optionals include [Shock][Rip Enchantment][Deaths Charge][Power Spike][Antidote Signet][Mending Touch] etc.

I know, but you are "killing" your normal damage to use 2 enchantments, that will be better in other char, and you will be able to upgrade your build.

You're using [[email protected]] + [Strength of [email protected]], but you can change to [[email protected]] + [Strength of [email protected]], and you will have 2 more slots to utility/damage skills...

It was my opinion, you can agree or disagree, I know

@ Luminarus

The Build Is For PVE.
Ok.. Thanks.. Thought about it and made a little, Well big change, to the build below :-

[build=AxMBVdbUney8If8XwjTtADaE] I want it for PVE..

Picuso · Dec 28, 2008, 01:35 PM // 13:35

IMHO, your first build (OP) was better :S

Drop the monk skills, now. There is no need for you to be using them, get a smiter hero and have him cast them on you, it will be alot more effecient(spelling?). The build marty posted is quite good, personally id take frenzy over flail but thats my choice.

Improvavel · Dec 28, 2008, 04:26 PM // 16:26

i would make the hero with the smiting skills a necro though.

I would prefer some PvE only skills over the conjure.

For PvP I would go with eviscerate.

Luminarus · Dec 29, 2008, 03:47 AM // 03:47

I think hes saying that because you werent offering a W/Mo alternative.

However, offering a better alternative TO a W/Mo is better in the long run.

Definately not a trollpost, although his definately is.

I'd like to elaborate on this. Superior runes are not worth it because that huge dent in your health is not worth that +2, +4, +small number damage. Always try to keep your weapon mastery maxed and use 12+1+1 so you won't lose health but have a moderate increase.

mojo8850 · Dec 29, 2008, 10:00 AM // 10:00

So what you guys suggesting then for a PVE Build. for a W/Mo ?
Good in the small run and long, it can be the ultimate tanking machine is possiblle.

Just forget the /Mo part (Unless you want to use a Hard Res o [Mending Touch]) and be a pure Warrior = Destroying Machine.

And tanking is bad. You need to kill, kill, kill, KILLL!!!!!!!!

If you want builds, look at the sticky. It will be very useful for you

Sirius-NZ · Dec 29, 2008, 08:30 PM // 20:30

Monk doesn't offer a lot of good skills for a Warrior. [[Mending Touch] isn't bad, although more often than not you'll have a real monk to do that for you.

_Nihilist_ · Dec 29, 2008, 09:54 PM // 21:54

+1 before this Thread closes.

Check the Sticky, Marty Silverblade answers most of your questions there. Warriors are WARRIORS, not Monks, Paladins, Holy Knights, Templars, Righteous Zealots, Fighter Priests, etc.

If you play a Warrior, get ready to hack, slash, smash, and otherwise beat the Hell out of any red dot that gets in your way. Let your casters maintain those enchants on you, they have the energy pools and regen to do so. As a Warrior, you need your energy and regen to make sure that you can use the few (but important) energy-fueled skills on your bar - and they will be Warrior skills, not caster skills, unless you are using PvE-only skills such as [[Asuran Scan].

If you can't handle this, don't complain about it, just don't come into the Warrior Sub-Forum asking for advice on how to improve a build and then ignore what you are told. Most of the posters here know what they are talking about when it comes to Warriors (there are a few exceptions, but those run rampant everywhere), and their advice is best heeded.

**Marty Silverblade** · Dec 29, 2008, 10:07 PM // 22:07

Tbh the only reason I see to go /Mo is if your Monk sucks and can't remove hexes and conditions so you can Earth Shaker everything.
