Hello, I recently started playing GW again. (Stopped playing when Factions was released) I am playing Nightfall with my warrior char. and was wondering what are some good skills to cap for him. (I usually use an axe build, but change if area dictates it) Thanks in advance for your advice/help!

Since your into axe, I suggest you cap Cleave.
IMHO, the warrior elites in NF aren't that good :/
Also, if your going to pvp anytime, cap Crippling slash.

Just my 2cents..

I would definately cap Crippling Slash just to have for heroes or something.

Hmmm.....Charging Strike or Magehunter Strike are decent Warrior elites that you might want to look into.

[eviscerate] <3 yes it's core but it still rox
but for the rest, no, there aren't that good elites in NF to cap in the line of axe mastery

Thanks for the replies. I'll try getting those mentioned tonight. I think I only have 3 more missions left in NF anyway. (Still need to go back and play them in HM though)I also picked up GW:EN last week, haven't played any of it yet. Anything good for axe elites there?

Moved the thread here, as I think you'll get more Warrior specific attention.

No there aren't new elites in GWEN, only some more easy to cap elites.

[Decapitate] is fun in AB <3.

And yes, your best bet is [Eviscerate], but it's a lil' bit far into Prophecies. [Cleave] allows for cheap, quick damage, usually better for PvE. Consider [Triple chop] and yes [charging strike] is not that bad.

As for other elites, consider [dragon slash], [devastating hammer], [crippling slash], [earth shaker] and I think there's some fun build relating to [steady stance].

[backbreaker] for the lulz.

FGJ + Dslash + Save Yourselves = Win
but if your after axe, I always liked cleave lol, no idea why.
Cleave Ftw.

Eviscerate is your best option, it's a Prophecies skill, but it's also available in EotN. Otherwise, Cleave is alright.

In general, it's a good idea to cap alot of the elites so they're ready for your heroes. War heroes don't really deserve a hero slot, but if you've got nothing else or need to use one (Jennur's Horde, I think, requires Koss), then it's good to have Cripslash or something decent for them to run.
