Curse

Hi, Ive been playing my warrior for about a year and a half and using a Sword/Axe/Hammer however this got a bit boring after getting all the protector titles with them.
So I decided to make a build with a scythe in it.
I use this now for Vanquishing Tyria :

W/D

15 - Strength
12 - Scythe
Weapon - Hand of the Forgotten
Armour - Radiant

Skills
Warriors Endurance (Elite)
Power Attack
Bulls strike
Counterattack
Eremite's attack
Victorious Sweep
Chilling Victory
Rez

I just keep warriors Endurance up all the time and then you just spam all the skills.

I would appreciate some feed back on my build.

Kind regards Jerome

Lacks "Watch Yourself!", Increased Attack Speed stance, interrupt and Deep Wound.

*sigh* What is it with people using Warrior's Endurance lately?

Ok, here are a few problems:
-You're a Warrior. With a pretty little thing called Adrenaline. Learn to use it.
-Your bar is full of attack skills. You should only ever have 3-4 as a maximum.
-Chilling Victory is a garbage skill.
-Power Attack and Counterattack should definitely be replaced.
-As the above poster mentioned, one of the primary reasons to play a warrior is Deep Wound.
-Not only are you missing an attack speed stance but also a run speed stance, as well as any form of self defense or heal.
-Warriors shouldn't be using scythes. You'd be better off as a dervish primary including other warrior skills. Scythes are used for gimmick builds only (ex. http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:W/D_Desperate_Scythe)
-Strength isn't a good primary attribute for the most part.

To make the build better, I'd build something more like this:
[skill]Eviscerate[/skill][skill]Executioner's Strike[/skill][skill]Agonizing Chop[/skill][skill]Flail[/skill][skill]Pious Haste[/skill][skill]Rending Touch[/skill][skill]"Watch Yourself!"[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

When vanquishing, Watch Yourself! is extremely useful for self defense. Ditch the Radiant armor and get yourself a +armor while in stance set, or another armor boosting set of your choice. Survivor armor always works too.

You can also bring other skills in the Rending Touch slot depending on the area to be vanquished. Enraging Charge, Shields Up!, Healing Signet, Bull's Strike, Wild Blow, etc are all nice choices.

Attributes would be:
12+1+1 Axe Mastery
11+1 Tactics
6+1 Strength

If bringing Enraging Charge make tactics 9+1 and strength 9+1.

You may be bored of orthodox warrior builds, but vanquishing is not the best time to be using a substandard build.

If you're using Warrior's Endurance... At least use Protector's Strike, Mystic Sweep and Eremite's Attack to simulate an IAS.

And scythes blow - at least a hammer warrior can Hammer Bash/Crushing Blow, doing something with the adrenaline.

how to warriors endurance:

lesson one.

you do not have an IAS. ONOZ. thankfully there are these pretty derv attacks with 1/4 "cast".

Warrior's Endurance
Hammer Bash
Crushing Blow
Eremite's Attack
Mystic Sweep
Protectors Strike
"Watch Yourself!"
Rez

lesson over.

Thanks guys for you posts.
Ive had a thought about my build and take the advise you have supplied, and now I am fixing it up a bit.
Im adding in some other skills eg "Watch yourself" and Steady stance + Drunken Blow. Etc
Also my build had to many attack skills.
I still like playing around with my scythe, even though im a Warrior.

Thanks
Jerome
