PvE Tank
Warrior/Monk

Swordsmanship 12, +1 Rune, +1 Hat
Tactics 10, +1 Rune
Healing 8

Sever Artery
Gash
Galrath Slash
Bonetti's Defense
Watch Yourself!
Healing Hands
Mending
Restore Life

What's the best order to use this skill combination in a fight?

Gah, that build is horrible just so you know. BUT, if you really want to use it: Use Mending when you get into an explorable. Sever Artery > Gash > Galrath Slash. Spam Watch Yourself. Use Healing Hands when you're getting hit and you're like, halfway down with your hp.

I do recommend NOT using it though.

good lord, I came here expecting good advice like the dervish and paragon stickies. what do I get? mending, healing breeze, and restore life.

(deep breath, counts to 10)

ok. if you are going to use healing prayers, use live vicariously and/or vigorous spirit. combined with an IAS, this will heal you much better than energy-heavy regen. as a warrior, you have only 2 pips of energy regen, and you don't have leadership or expertise for energy management. this means that you want to use mostly adrenal skills and signets, and making the best use of your energy as you can. tactics stances help you much more than healing. use healing signet or lion's comfort. with a heavy investment in strength, signet of stamina and endure pain become very effective tanking skills. when using frenzy, be sure to have a cancel-stance when things get heavy. shouts and stances can stack. with that, here is what I think a standard warrior build should look like:

1.speed boost (sprint, rush, enraging charge)
2.IAS stance (frenzy, flail, berserker's stance)
3.healing skill (signet or lion's comfort)
4.some kind of defensive shout or stance (you probably don't wnat a 3rd stance, but it could be useful if you aren't using a speed boost in PvE)
5.attack skill
6.attack skill
7.attack skill
8. REZ SIGNET (do NOT bring something slow---as the frontline, you will be the first to die, which means you will only use a rez in a real emergency)

It's a 2-year-old post. I'm not sure why it's stickied still, and I'm not sure why people never check timestamps.

Even better, you just don't use Healing Prayers in a normal warrior build.

Killing stuff and letting monks do their job help you much more than Tactics stances.

No.

These ____ basics are still good to revisit for a good laugh on how bad the builds were back when prophecies started out, and how much better *some* of the players have gotten.

the fact that ensign suggested using smiting made me giggle
