Curse

A little poking around hasn't yet uncovered any of the threads on the Grenth's Balance Warrior build. And what I can reconstruct from memory is incomplete. I have a new warrior who capped GB, so I'm finally interested. Can anybody help?

I assume:

Grenth's Balance
Bonetti's Defense (for energy)
Dolyak Signet and/or Balanced Stance (since it was introduced/popularized for Sorrow's Furnace)
Riposte and Deadly Riposte (because I seem to remember them being in there)
No anti-interrupt (because I can't think of any that fits the professions)
Healing Signet (what else for degen?)
Sever Artery and Gash (because I seem to remember a Deep Wound being in there)

How am I doing?

i think you can add final thrust

I think you need Endure Pain so you can survive when the enemy has the same amount of health or less than you. Also people generally don't take swordsmanship skills and put the remaining attribute points in Strength and Tactics, so maybe bring Sprint or Enraging Charge to get past tricky mobs.

I've never understood the use of Endure Pain, truth be told. It seems just like something to tide you over until you can get healed (whether self-healed or otherwise), which doesn't seem to fit the GB solo situation.

But I'm a real noob at warriordom (just ascended last night, and that in Factions). What am I missing?

You and Sskai are at 100, you endure pain until Riposte recharges and spike him.

Yeah usually the last GB you use will only bring your health to about 100 or sometimes even lower so you need Endure Pain to be able to get enough Ripostes and Deadly Ripostes to shred whoever you're fighting before they shred you (Believe me, they will). Then after you kill them activate Endure Pain again as it should be recharged by the boss's death, and Healing Signet.

Got it. Thanks!

Uh, next question -- any tips for playing this build against mobs?

Francis Crawford · Jun 24, 2007, 11:54 PM // 23:54

Ahh. Found the old thread. I was looking at the profession-specific stickies, not the general solo one.

Yep, it really is a shame that the search function on this board is practically useless (which doesnt keep people from referring so-called noobs to it - obviously ignorant of the fact that this doesnt help at all).
Recently, I searched for a thread with the exact thread title as a search expression: - no hit; I then searched for the name of the OP: - no hit either.... -.-

On the other hand: bookmarks ftw!

These are the two threads on the topic that I bookmarked some time ago:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10076512
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10079835

And this is the one that one may find on Wiki without even 'poking':
