Well, 8 adren for (we are talking about pve) something Dismember and Cleave can do... Cleave also has lower adren cost, so you can switch targets more constantly. I agree that Evis is powerful, but in pve non-HM you will probably find yourself in a situation where you ALMOST loaded evis, but monster dies. And there, you didn't use elite even once.

And spammage > one-time-pew.

Personally, swords are not the best choices in Prophecies PvE. 3/5 sections of the campaign do not include fleshy creatures, so not only are you deprived of the ability to cause Bleeding, but also the ability to cause Deep Wound. If you insist on going sword, bring Battle Rage as your elite. Battle Rage is one of the best adrenal builders there is, and before it ends, just use Final Thrust on a weak foe. There, no adrenaline wasted (except the 4 hits you'll need to re-use Battle Rage)! Also, it's easy to keep up Battle Rage forever in a fight, so you'll be able to Galrath Slash and Final Thrust a lot.

holy crap people are still posting here? wow. I hadnt even checked this for almost 2 weeks. Anyway i finally gave in and am using the healing sig. And for PvP I am just using none stop defenseive with riposte , deadly riposte, and gladiators defense to name a few.

Bobby2 · Aug 02, 2008, 06:08 PM // 18:08

No hope for you my friend

**Marty Silverblade** · Aug 03, 2008, 12:09 AM // 00:09

Monks should be scared of you when they see you running towards them. If you're standing there spamming Ripostes, everyone is going to realise that you can do absolutely nothing if they don't touch you. People are going to realise that very quickly, and you're going to find half your skillbar useless.

Oh god we are not going to have to pursuade you to improve your PvP build now are we?

Total defence builds should not be used in PvE let alone PvP. I'm sorry but using Glads Defence and the ripostes in PvP is even more fail than using Healing breeze.

I bring Healing Breeze (extra slot -_-) with a "Live for Today" Inscribed weapon, and even though I don't use it much, it's still fun to run and when they think they have me at low health I use HB and run still. But I stopped doing that for a while.

**Marty Silverblade** · Aug 04, 2008, 08:22 AM // 08:22

^

"Live for Today" means bye-bye +15% damage mods. No good.

Drizzitdude · Aug 30, 2008, 10:38 PM // 22:38

Here i will just post the build i am currently using (I have been experimenting for a while on a good warrior build) . And this is what i came up with.

["for great justice"][riposte][deadly riposte][galrath slash][final thrust][hundred blades][live vicariously][rebirth]

stats:

HP:560
Energy:20

SKILLS:

Strength: 4
Swordsmanship:12
Tactics:8
healing prayers 11

Equipment:

Deldrimor sword:
Exallted Aegis

1:Templar helm of major swordsmanship: strength +1(stacking), swordmansip +2, health -35
2:Survivor templar cuirass: health+15
3:Templar guantlets of minor strength: strength +1(non stacking)
4:survivor templar leggings of minor vigor: HP+10, HP+30
5:templar boots of minor tactics: tactics +1

Notes: I did not Include the fact that the armor is max (duh) and that each peice has +20 armor vs physical damage because everyone already knows that. i am currently Trying to get more money for elite templar.

What i really want right now is for someone to help me find a good build for FoW on HM. (this one works just fine for normal mode but not HM)

Lyynyyrd · Aug 30, 2008, 10:52 PM // 22:52

Just keep on complaining until Hundred Blades gets buffed [5e/3r] and then use it.

Tyla · Aug 30, 2008, 11:20 PM // 23:20

Your build lacks deep wound and an IAS. Both the Riposte's suck. Lack of at least 14 weapon mastery. Live Vicariously sucks.

Drizzitdude · Aug 30, 2008, 11:45 PM // 23:45

Riposte doesnt suck. especially in the FoW when holding aggro. Also keep in mind I split my skill 3 ways for this build (with the extra crap in strength). Since i am in the Fissure of Woe right now, I took out sever artery and deep wound considering the enemies in the fissure lack the certain fluid needed to bleed and then inflict deep wound on. Some of my equipment has some attributes to hem i would replace in a heartbeat with something else, but i am trying to save up for the elite templar armor right now.

Also please note that Live vicariosuly was put in because i couldnt think of anything else productive I would do with the energy besides it has little cost to it and i get 13 health everytime iIattack, whichi view as being 13 more than i had before.

Really the only reason i have hundred blades in there is to give me some extra adrenaline, and partly because i couldnt think of anything else to put in at the time. So instead of all the criticism how about you give helpful suggestions & comments?

"holding agro" = not killing stuff fast enough

if you're dead set on using a bad skill, here the best build I can come up with

12+1+1 Swordsmaship
12+1 Strength

[hundred blades][sever artery][gash][distracting blow][frenzy][rush][for great justice][res sig]

use rush to cancel frenzy, don't need healing because there are these awesome things called monks.

Your reason? It's a skill with low damage output compared to anything else you can put there. Holding aggro isn't a reason to take it either.

You don't need self healing as a Warrior, and if you do stick to Healing Signet or Lion's Comfort.

Criticism is in the same category as suggestions, and it's also a way of commentary. If anything, you should be devoting your entire bar to damage while keeping a small bit of utility. Self-heals are weak most of the time, and the bar Flaming Metroid shown, except put in Savage Slash for Distracting Blow and you're set. Oh, and replace FGJ with Final Thrust.

[[eviscerate]?

I looks like you have proph only, if that's the case don't use swords. And [[earth shaker] is the best aggro holder in the game.

[[conjure flame]?

Let the monks heal. Warriors do "big damage" as I'm sure someone will kindly explain to you.

Drizzitdude · Aug 31, 2008, 02:01 AM // 02:01

1:what are you talking about i already have final thrust on the bar.

2: norn bear dude, you are totally right. is should change to axes. It is out of sheer stupidity and stubbornous that i dont. I realize i shoulde change to an axe build for for unknown reasons i dont.

3: like i said the only reason i put live vicariosuly in there is i couldbnt really think of anything better at the time.

Something along the lines of that? Though it doesn't seem like you're using any of the advise you're given.
