In PvE, you can take almost anything that you want to take and still make it through. I ran a W/N who used Life Transfer for his Elite all the way through Prophecies (when it was the only campaign out).

Coward is Factions.

My bad. I gave other choices as well. Meh...

Luminarus · Nov 08, 2008, 05:38 AM // 05:38

I wouldnt waste 3 slots for an IAS, let alone 3 slots a secondary, and requiring a zealous weapon.

Tyrael, Battle rage no longer has the lose all adrenaline clause. It just ends. So when u renew NRA renew battle rage as well for 0 downtime. But I still dont like NRA on a warrior, because then you only have 4 slots for rez, damage and (possible) pve skills.

I wouldn't use NRA better on Ranger with high point in Expertise poisons bite would be better.You could use Rampage as One.

100 blades is a decent elite, along with whirlwind attack and a conjure weapon can give quite an effect.

You can also go /D and get an elite like Vow of Strength, Onslaught, Ebon Dust Aura (all work great with whirlwind attack and the like).

You can make a killer sword build even with out an elite. If you want, get a conjure build and just bring [Sever Artery] [Gash] [Counterattack] and [Final Thrust]. That even leaves room to bring [Defy Pain]. However, as most warriors would prefer to concentrate on their offense instead of defense, you can switch Sever with [Crippling Slash]. So long as you bring [Enraging Charge]/[Sprint] and [Flail] you can duke out a nice hurt on your targets, even if you bring Defy Pain. Hell, with that combo you might even last long enough to defeat a whole mob! Well, it depends what the mob is. Oh, by the way don't forget to bring [Lions Comfort] for a heal. With all those skills in your bar, it will be at least fun to use.

Counterattack is a horrible skill. What could you possibly be using for the energy gain on it to be useful when you can run Power Attack instead? I even question that skill outside the use of a WE bar.

Luminarus · Nov 10, 2008, 02:42 AM // 02:42

Using Owiks build, I would use the following:

[You're All Alone][Sever Artery][Gash][Final Thrust][Conjure Lightning][Rush][Optional][Flail] or [Frenzy] if ur confident at cancelling.

Optional for [Resurrection Signet], [Enraging Charge], [Bull's Strike], [Shock], [Disarm], [Savage Slash], or any other skill you feel fits the bill.

It was just an example. Really, whatever you guys want to replace it is all good.

[Power [email protected]] vs. [[email protected]]

Power Attack deals 5 more damage and recharges twice as fast as Counterattack, but when Counterattack hits an attacking target, you gain 5e.

Counterattack is essentially free if your target is attacking, whereas Power Attack will burn through your energy if you aren't careful/using a [[Warrior's Endurance] build.

This is precisely why Counterattack should be used instead of Power Attack on a non-WE bar, Tyla.

DarkNecrid · Nov 11, 2008, 12:42 AM // 00:42

Play a Cripslash, it's still pretty damn good!

Auron of Neon · Nov 11, 2008, 08:06 AM // 08:06

[warrior's endurance][power attack][protector's strike][finish him][you move like a dwarf][burst of aggression][sprint][resurrection signet]

dont even bother with yaa, nothing in pve needs the weakness or cripple, nor do monsters spread out often enough for it to be effective

and cripslash is meh, same reason tbh. it's a decent prep for gash but sever recharges more quickly so doesnt really matter

It's not the best, but it's not the worst. It's PvE. If you don't have access to the better skills, you're fine as long as you're actually dealing damage.

Luminarus · Nov 11, 2008, 08:37 AM // 08:37

Id say that hundred blades is about the worst option for a sword warrior... even without the other campaigns.

Not really much point in Counterattack when you already have decent alternatives anyway, though. The energy has a minimal upside and the damage is better when it comes to adrenal skills, especially when skills such as "For Great Justice!" is in use. A zealous weapon and Power Attack would still be more efficient.

I seen the title, and immediately had the urge to come in here and post, "haha, your f#$%ed."

But I won't. What I will do, though, is tell you to run Cripslash. It may not be amazing, but it'll work in a pinch.

Super Igor · Nov 11, 2008, 11:48 PM // 23:48

Ah, not much options if you ask me, you can run endurance but its kinda meh with a sword compared to axe/scythe, also no sy! and its a must have warrior skill.
