This is the current build for my character, Jashdar Fin I started when I first played...not intending to play him long...just long enough to get the feel of the game. I have now played him to 20th level and have just now started to do some cool things IMHO in the storyline. I am now turning to doing builds and actually thinking through a bit more in what kind of character he is.

The template code is OQYTs0oSzh8N1+rwuricxdgxBA

Strength:10
Swordsmanship:10
Water Magic:10

Skills:

Standing Slash
Sun and Moon Slash
Lion's Comfort
Signet of Strength
"For Great Justice!"
Beserker Stance
Armor of Mist
Sunspear Rebirth Signet

What do you all think about this. I don't have many elite skills right now. In fact all I have is "You're All Alone!" as an elite skill. I'd like anyone and everyone to critique this and give me some pointers on good builds.

you can use the GWBBCode to post builds :

[build=OQYTs0oSzh8N1+rwuricxdgxBA]

[pre][build=OQYTs0oSzh8N1+rwuricxdgxBA][/pre]

[[berserker stance] is a horrible IAS, and it doesn't stack with [[standing slash] since it ends when you use the skill. Use [[flail] instead for PvE.

stop using [[armor of mist], the only reason to spec in water magic as warrior should be [[conjure frost].

Get your weapon mastery higher. Anything less than 12 is foolish (with runes and helmet that gives 14 weapon mastery).

Try to get a decent elite, like [[dragon slash] (if you have factions) or [[crippling slash] if you don't.

Get a deep wound skill in there. Deep wound is powerfull, way too nice to ignore. If you use [[crippling slash] replace [[signet of strength] with [[gash] for your deep wound source.

You'd be looking at the following build then (you'll need an Icy sword for it to work, otherwise just replace [[conjure frost] with something else) :

[build prof=W/E swo=12+1+1 str=8+1 wat=10][crippling slash][gash][sun and moon slash][flail][for great justice][conjure frost][sunspear rebirth signet][lion's comfort][/build]

this man speaks the truth!

Thank you for the advice. Two questions...

How do I do GWBBCode? I am new to the forums here and never done anything in code. I got a few other builds to show off and get thoughts on.

I agree, elementalist magic should be for Conjure spells and any spell that increased DPS. I am a W/E....the W being PRIMARY. I have a E/W....that is my spell slinger.

I don't have Crippling Slash as of right now. So...what other stuff can I do? I have all three games and Eye of the North. I kind dig using "You're All Alone!" and then going to town on them with sever artery and firestorm. I got decent non-elemental slashing swords so as long as they are not running off I can usually drop most things pretty quick. In Cantha, the enemies there move around a lot and hit you in huge groups compared to other areas so I use more group attack spells for it...and henchies...I don't like using them but it seems like you need to have a street gang with you in Cantha do be effective.

I did have a conjure flame build I was using that was sick and twisted...worked good but I am needing a better flaming sword for it. I have this mid level or so Fiery Gladius that a friend gave me. I used Armor of Mist for the armor bonus and speed bonus, otherwise I like Sprint for moving around.

This post explains how to use the GW BBCode.

Enraging Charge + FGJ = Win when running up to enemies

AriesOmega · Jul 15, 2008, 12:04 AM // 00:04

Thank you for the advice on builds. I been playing around with a different build, using an axe and shield combo...mostly to go out and farm without any support. I tried to balance it out. In both case I gave up a IAS ability to add Signet of Strength, since right now I have only three which aren't very good...[Flurry] and [Berserker Stance] and [Frenzy] only right now.

Check this out [Build=Axe Spinner Solo Warrior;OQYUkwIKzaSlCKF7gRFWFOFBAwOA]

I open up with Signet of Strength and start looking for enemies. When I am getting pretty close to aggro use Armor of Earth. I attack from there with Cyclone Axe and normal attacks. When adrenaline builds then I use the other adrenaline moves. I been finishing off enemies pretty quick.

I tried a different build that works good, faster on it's feet, but I am still getting use using Lion's Comfort.

The only IAS you want are Frenzy or Flail as you have NF forget about Flurry or BS.You forgot to put a res on your bars look at Rotten's he has put one in.Those aren't good solo builds want to know more about them ask in the farming forum.

A Leprechaun · Jul 15, 2008, 08:52 AM // 08:52

Signet of strength is a very bad skill, +45 damage (over a long period of time!) once every 45 seconds. An IAS will give you +50% damage and you can keep most up a lot of the time. Flail is a good choice for PvE, I like Tiger Stance as well.
If you are looking for quick kills I don't see why your enemies need cripple and weakness on them, executioner's strike and body blow are greater skills.
You only really need 4 attacks on a warrior's bar so I would ditch one, there are a lot of elites to cap in NF and Nightfall (they may not best ty=he best but you can get to them quick) so cap something ^^, Cleave or Eviserate are your best choices.
I would talk more but Have to go now.

Cheers.

-You've got the best armor in the game. There's no need to use +armor skills.
-If you want to use AoE spells like an Elementalist, then play an Elementalist.
-Frenzy is definately not bad.
-Axe Twist/Rake are crap. Once you get halfway decent you'll be killing stuff so quickly (especially considering you'll need to Deep Wound them first) that you won't get much out of them, especially at such a high adr cost. When you need weakness, your team will bring it in some useful, reliable form; usually [[Enfeebling Blood] on a Necro.
-Signet of Strength, as previously mentioned, is also bad.
-If the only reason you're running Tactics is to use [[Healing Signet], then it's not worth it. [[Lion's Comfort] is much better, and in a useful attribute.
-Also, 4 attributes is bad. Go either 14 Weapon Mastery/13 Str or 14 Weapon/9 Str/10 in some secondary line (fire magic for Conjure Flame, etc).

Yukito Kunisaki · Jul 20, 2008, 05:04 PM // 17:04

The Golden build for most warriors in pve is like:

Deep Wound
AoE
Increased Attack Speed
Res Signet
Interrupt
defense increasing shout/skill
2 more attack or attack buff skills

If you can't fit it in, [like AoE sucks for swords], then just throw in another attack +XX dmg skill

But IAS and Deep Wound are like default on a warrior. You absolutely need those no matter the game type...

faraaz · Jul 20, 2008, 07:37 PM // 19:37

Unless you are playing god mode dragon slash warrior in which case you dont need deep wound at all because of how awesome you are...
