Curse

Titan Silencer · Dec 29, 2008, 08:54 PM // 20:54

so... I wanted to do Urgoz Warren today, since I once entered with a team as my warrior, but we failed because monk left :/ (been a while since we last did that).
my alliance was planning on doing urgoz's warren, so I thought I'd jump in. I was in the party, we were full, then the leader kicked me, said I couldn't come as a warrior, and invited an unknown monk with very bad use of english

.

I was pissed about it, and thought, what use is a warrior in the elite missions? (normal or hard, preferably hard).

so what can I run in elite areas? I already did FoW and UW in normal mode together with a friend and 6 heroes, we rolled trough them without any specific build (2-man necroway, we were both 2 warriors).
but I'd like to know what I can do as a warrior in places like slaver's exile, urgoz warren, the deep, uw, FoW,...
what can I run in these elite areas, so I can be of at least some help to my party?
I prefer hard mode builds, because that's the most common thing now, but every single bit of help is welcome. please, help me out of this mess, because my warrior is my main, and not planning on letting her go...

Your alliance sounds shitty.

This.

Earth shaker is amazing. The more enemies, the more powerful it is. Elite missions have a lot of enemies bunched up together, which makes earth shaker amazing.

Earth Shaker > *

Nothing beats foes sitting on their ass, because well, they don't do anything at all.

With an imbagon behind you you're effectively a 200AL target knock-locking everything (given you know how to bodyblock/bunch up foes)

If your alliance seriously turned down a Warrior for some random person, your alliance has serious problems. Earth Shaker > PvE.

well, my alliance owns HzH atm, and well, it's not the entire alliance, but especially that one guy (the leader of the team, guild member... never gonna help that mofo out if he needs help xD)

thanks for the build... other stuff I could roll (not that this would be a problem)? and how should I place my points and which armor?

Whenever my alliance does Elite Missions, we plan ahead to make sure we have at least 1 tank, be it a Warrior, Paragon, or Ranger (running perma [[lightning reflexes]/[[dryder's defense].) For the Deep, not taking a tank at best halves your chances of success.

yes, that's what I thought I'd could be, at least a tank... but then came an A/E with perma sf an grasping earth...

just find a better guild, i also have a main warrior and i close almost everyday DoA with my sythewarrior build, tank in UW or kill stuff again with sytche, we do FoW with 5 or 4 warriors all in HM (except DoA), so, my point is: find or at least convince your guild to try new stuff, it neve hurts

Yes, I noticed... some of them are good enough at PvE, but there are a lot of them who ask questions that are soooooooooo stupid (example... one of them was salvaging ccs for glittering dust, he didn't knew you could buy it from a material merchant, and he thought ccs were useless.)

just in that guild for cheaper merchant, a guild so I can donate my factions....

i usually run a ritualist in urgoz warren becuase they are affective in making walls and i dont know if they are still useful.

#1 Earthshaker
#2 Stonefist Insignia
#3 Crude Swing
#4 ????
#5 Profit.

With Crude Swing and at least 4 foes around, you can knocklock mobs with Earthshaker which prevents a lot of skills from being used and alot of damage from being dealt.

Personally, my Alliance said hammer warriors were bad in PvE, I asked them to give me a shot at FoW. After the run, they took back what they said because Eartshaker is just too powerful in PvE to not take advantage of.

And yeah, owning HzH doesn't make you good at GW, it just means you did the same easy process multiple times.

Titan Silencer · Dec 29, 2008, 11:17 PM // 23:17

well, earthshaker needs 8 adrenaline, so you actually need to get the adrenaline and then you can use the skill... what if (and it will happen to me) the mob separates?

Tyla · Dec 29, 2008, 11:22 PM // 23:22

[enraging charge]["for great justice!"]

It won't within the 2-3 seconds you'll be there.

Titan Silencer · Dec 29, 2008, 11:29 PM // 23:29

aaah, of course, silly of me... using that combo so often but still didn't figure it out xD

Flinte · Dec 30, 2008, 12:03 AM // 00:03

I am a little late to this party and i see that this build was also referred to earlier but this build is also money. It also complements the earth shaker build in elite areas

I agree, without Power Attack and/or an IAS on a W/D Scythe bar, you're lesser than a Dervish in power by far.
