alright so heres my situation, ive got a lvl 20 warr/monk that i use for PVE and have a great time with. but now ive decided to create another character because my warrior doesnt seem to fulfill me as it used to.
i strongly prefer playing as a melee fighter; any suggestions on what i should do?
please feel free to include builds
thanks:]

It would help if you post the build you're using and what it doesn't fulfill so we can help you on that mark.

Anyway, a fairly decent bar to use in PvE (making the assumption you're Proph-only) is:

[eviscerate] / [cleave][executioners strike] / [dismember][disrupting chop]["for great justice!"][conjure flame][frenzy][rush][resurrection signet]

Careful with Frenzy.

Oh, okay, read it wrong. Go Assassin, they have MS/DB and Critscythe. Not as useful in PvP as Warrior or Dervish, however.

If I'm reading OP right, he wants a new melee, which mean Dervish or Sin. I prefer Sin, but that just me, no real reasons to back it up.

This is what I'm reading aswell. I'd go sin aswell, because I can run a scythe perfectly well on my War but daggers not so much. That's not a good reason, but whatever. We can't tell you what you want to play anyway.

If we read it wrong and just want new builds, read the sticky.

Why not try both? I really enjoyed my Derv when I made her and I'm also having fun doing random stuff on my Sin ^_^

Id go with assassin... they can do a derv better then a derv can in pve (crit scythe), as well as having some of the most powerful aoe dps on the frontline [Moebius Strike][Death Blossom]. They also have access to (imo) equal best IAS in the game. [Critical Agility]. 33% permanent IAS assuming you are attacking is nothing to scoff at lol. Also they are better at farming (at the moment) because permaform is still around.

Since there are 2 opther options, derv or sin, sin is the better choice. However I personally dont like dervs, and im sure some derv lovers will come and explain why they are so great. Imo, try a derv and try a sin. Then make up your mind.

Dervishes have omgwtfhax damage from scythes, but sin's and warriors can use them just as effectively aswell.

my sin is probably my favourite character nowdays I suggest you try them.

Assassin,make it,love it,watch the yellow numbers fly.

Try W/A and combine warrior toughness with assassin ferocity. I'll leave you to guess how to make that happen.

Luminarus · Nov 09, 2008, 01:55 AM // 01:55

W/A only ever works with warriors endurance or way of the empty palm... and in both scenario's its very subpar.

xerzk · Nov 09, 2008, 02:12 AM // 02:12

alright you've all sold me and im deffinately going to give sin a shot. thank you all very much

faraaz · Nov 09, 2008, 07:45 AM // 07:45

Bah, I see I'm too late.

But yea, I'd have said Sin too.

Death Blossom + Moebius broke GW. :P

Either way it depends if the player has fun with the class combo. However, the poster didn't want to play another warrior in the first place and instead a sin. That's great. They are more fun to play as so long as you can keep up with their techniques.
