Starting to do GVG and hopefully AB soon, that said i was wondering what the best pvp build for a warrior is?

Thanks for any helpful responses.

Pleikki · Jul 22, 2008, 04:28 PM // 16:28

theres no such thing as best, and the bests ppl have made them selves and not saying it, many builds are good, its about skill

There is no "best" PvP build, although there are quite a few effective builds for Warrior.

Shock Axe, Magehunter's Smash, Dev Hammer, Cripslash etc.

What weapon do you wish to use?

If you run a sword, you have a lot of options, but they're generally inferior to axe/hammer.

If you run an axe, it's something like Eviscerate, Executioner's Strike, Disrupting Chop, Bull's Strike, Frenzy, Rush, Res Sig and then a utility skill. This last skill can be Rip Enchantment, Shock, or Conjure Frost/Flame/Lightning. Those are just examples but the last skill adds something to your bar.

If you run a hammer, it's probably going to be Magehunter's Smash or Devastating hammer, along with Crushing Blow, Bull's Strike, Hammer bash, Enraging Charge, Flail.

Your options vary a bit more with the hammer, and because you have so many KDs, you can throw a Hard Res (reusable) onto your bar, like Death Pact Signet. You can also throw Rush on.

PvX is a good resource, but I'm just trying to give you a general idea.

There isn't a 'best' build for a class. If you want knockdown pressure, go hammer, if you want lots of damage/spiking, go axe, if you want lots of condition pressure, go sword. The builds that come to mind are

Inferior is a strong word to use. Swords provide great pressure when used with a good bar. But the spiking capability of axe and hammer make it less appealing. But as stated PvX good resource, they even have one of the most ancient warrior builds of all that works still (someone try and guess it please

).

Shockaxe?

Technically used to be Galeaxe, but yeh...

[gutz;OQASE5JPiFwyShpAA4rGWBA]

decided to go with this putting [for great justice] in the optional slot, oh and credit for this build goes to pvxwiki got it from the 'great working builds' in PVP section.

Cathode_Reborn · Jul 22, 2008, 08:47 PM // 20:47

In "low-end" PvP such as AB, Hammers are best for getting solo kills on monks.

[build=OQASE5JPhawyShpIA4rG2iC]

if your going to ab or gvg, you will find yourself thinking ...

Distracting Strike > Distracting Blow.

Hammer's heavy adren costs make it an unsuitable weapon for AB. Easier KD fix:

[sprint][bull's strike][frenzy][coward][dismember][body blow][lion's comfort][shock]

I find Cripslash better than shockaxe.
But that's only cause I haven't bothered learning how to use shockaxe properly... But Cripslash is still nice

I know. LC has been a quite recent addition, before Wars had no viable (non-Elite) way of maintaining adren inbetween skirmishes.

As for Enraging, most ppl pack Sprint.

Compare your adren req to mine............OWNED

JR · Jul 22, 2008, 10:04 PM // 22:04

[Frenzy][Rush][Bull's Strike][Rage of the Ntouka][Sever Artery][Gash][Final Thrust][Death's Charge]

Still my all time favorite AB Warrior.

As for GvG, as many have said, there really isn't a 'best'. It depends a lot on your teams build. However, the standard Shock Axe bar fits into just about anything and has a great balance of damage and disruption.
