i got the Guild Wars trilogy pack for 120$(with tax) and i started a warrior on nightfall. im level 13 and monk is my secondary.
i need help on:
1)can someone post their build for a damage whor(you know the rest) warrior.
2)how do i get to nightfall to prophecies or factions?
thats all for now thank you in advance.

New to warrior eh? Well...just make sure to never pack Mending unless you have a Vampiric weapon and nothing else.

Question: Can someone post their build for a damage who(you know the rest) warrior.

Awnser: This build I whipped up from a well known combo kills things in seconds:
Standing Slash
Sun&Moon Slash
Dragon Slash
Flail
Enraged Charge
Lion's Comfort
For Great Justice! (can be switched out for a rez signet or Rebirth in missions)
Mending Touch

Tactics:8 + 1
Swordsmanship:12 +1+1
Strength:10+1
----------------
I won't get into details since you'll pretty much know how to use this build by the time you get all the skills together. Just spam Flail if it's about to come off, and use your attacks with FGJ for a 20 second time limit to just go crazy with your attacks!

----------------
Question: How do I get to Nightfall to Factions or Prophecies?
Awnser: The quests to port you over to the harbors of the other campaigns come as you pass through the storyline. Do not worry about quickly coming over to a campaign, as you'll pretty much do just that by doing the primary quests until the time comes when it is available. But, if you want to know now, Nightfall has ferrying, which you can buy from someone to get to a campaign quickly. Factions requires that you follow the storyline until you get to the mainland. Prophecies semi-requires that you follow the storyline, because the port for that campaign is pretty far off if you just take it slow. But there is always the ability to buy a run from me for 2k to get you to Lion's Arch! (heh) {the port town to switch campaigns}
-----------------

All in all, just have fun with it.

No. Don't even use Mending then.
OP - never use Healing Prayers. Ever.

On a build...

Elite Attack Skill
Attack Skill
Attack Skill
Attack Skill/Utility
Utility/Self-Heal
Flail
Speed Buff Stance
Res

With max weapon mastery, the rest split into Tactics/Strength/whatever secondary you're using.

The only monk skills a (real) warrior build should have are mending touch, rebirth (for pve) and maybe succor if you're into that. other than that, the basic build template alex gave is great.

Huey · Aug 26, 2007, 08:52 PM // 20:52

Correction - It was nice. Back in prophecies, something like 2 years ago.
And yes, Alex gave a really nice template - Get an elite skill, 2 skills that help using it/have a synergy with it (like, dont run a Dragon Sword + Sever Artery + Gash builds - they ain't that good). Flail is almost a must. And get some Sunspear/Kurzick/Luxon skills, combo Whirling Attack + Cyclone Axe + Save Yourselves! is ftw.
And rebirth as a warrior isn't good - You should get a more powerful rez, like Res Signet or Sunspear Rebirth Signet (with high sunspear title... with r3+ ;d), as they heal for more, get energy and cast faster. Besides, warrior is usually in first line, I mean, using Rebirth while in a middle of fight - Bad, and after battles, people with 3 or 4 ene regen are better to use it.

whats better sword/axe/hammer?
and how do i get other skills that ive seen in the builds?
i started in nightfall and i have all three.

EDIT: what skills should i have if i wanna be a w/mo with a sword thats wanting to be a damage person?
no elite skills cause i dont have any or even know how to get them lol.

haggus71 · Aug 26, 2007, 11:31 PM // 23:31

W/Mo and damage dealer should NEVER be used in the same sentence. Sword has the best DPS with no elites, considering its minimum of 15 dmg versus 6 for an axe, plus its higher speed. That being said, it doesn't really shine till you get the good elites(Dragon slash[Fact.], Crippling slash[NF]). Even ghetto Hundred blades is an improvement.

Stick to Alex's template, even with no elites. It works best no matter what skills you have. For Greater Justice and Flail are good for getting that adrenaline in the beginning. Watch out for too many high-energy/high adrenaline attack skills. For attack I might use one energy skill at the most, in case of a-denial(damn Iboga mesmers). Axes give the best balance of spike damage and conditions from deep wound, while hammers are best for KD/interrupt. With any decent monk back-up, or even with henchies, the warrior line of self-heal should be good enough if you are doing enough damage.

And please...PLEASE...never say paladin on here. We have armies of flaming blowtorches waiting for you if you do.

Sword has one of the highest DPS in the game because of the beautiful [skill]Dragon Slash[/skill], especially after the FGJ puff.

Wrong qualifier. W/Mo can easily deal damage. What you're thinking is the emphasis on "Monk healing while Warrior primary" mentality. Heck, I'm a W/Mo more often than not, and the only Monk skills I use are Mending Touch and Holy Veil (if ever), and can still do good damage.

No, Hammers have higher DPS, and axes and swords have the exact same attack speed. The difference lies in how you like to play, and the fact that axes and swords can use shields.

Stormlord Alex · Aug 27, 2007, 08:46 AM // 08:46

Also, factoring in criticals, Axes start to have higher DPS than swords at higher attribute levels.

What makes swords very good at DPS is [skill]dragon slash[/skill]

And W/Mo are perfectly fine damage dealers. It's hard to kill stuff whilst Blind

Warriors are tanks.

Just like in real life, a tank without a gun and tons of armor is friggin' worthless.

Go kill stuff.

A few tips. Don't limit yourself to just one type of build. Experiment with other secondaries. Try all the weapons for warrior and then use the one your most comfortable with. No one warrior build is perfect, it doesn't work that way. Use the template Stormlord gave and experiment. You can also get some good ideas from the guildwiki build thread. Last but not least, have fun your not getting paid whether you live or die.
