I just thought I would share this fun build...It gives you a kind of shotgun feel. Have fun ... lock and load!

[card]rush[/card][card]splinter weapon[/card][card]hundred blades[/card][card]barbarous slice[/card][card]gash[/card][card]sun and moon slash[/card][card]nightmare weapon[/card][card]flesh of my flesh[/card]

15 swordsmanship
11 channeling
9 strength

Use splinter weapon... choose target... 100 blades.... unload. If there are two enemies next to eachother each enemy gets hit twice with 100blades and twice with splinter weapon. If you are low on health use nightmare weapon and use HB or sun and moon for a decent heal.

edit: you can also switch to [card]wielder's boon[/card] and invest in restoration for a good heal instead of strength, but you will sacrifice 8AL from a max sheild.

could u show us an axe and hammer varient of ur interesting build ... Dun forget the hammer and axe lovers too. lol thks

frizz87 · May 10, 2007, 06:48 PM // 18:48

I think this should work fine with

[skill]Triple Chop[/skill]

maybe penetrating blow or that deep wound skill (can't remember name)

very easy to modify

farmpig · May 10, 2007, 06:55 PM // 18:55

dismember non elite
eviscarate elite

were u refering to these

frizz87 · May 10, 2007, 06:58 PM // 18:58

[skill]Dismember[/skill]
[skill]Penetrating Blow[/skill]
[skill]Cyclone Axe[/skill]

any of those can work, maybe with a zealous axe you could increase your energy a bit to cast everything, wasting an elite slot on [skill]Eviscerate[/skill] is unwise, seeing as you want to spend your casting of Splinter in a single "explosion"

or am I missing the point?

its kinda old news .... it is also good base of solo build http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...hl=en#0h01m47s

Yeah nothing new, I just thought it was a fun one... I guess you could go with axe. But you won't get as many hits out as compared with sword.

how abt the hammer lets see hammer "shotgun" builds lol

clawofcrimson · May 11, 2007, 02:58 PM // 14:58

the point is to hit the opponent multiple times... triggering splinter weapon. the hammer doesnt really have much to offer in that regard.

[card]Crude Swing[/card] is about all you can get out of the hammer.

I recall using a build similar to that, but only with Mark of Pain instead of Splinter Weapon. It obviously wasn't as effective, but I didn't have factions.

howlinghobo · May 15, 2007, 07:15 AM // 07:15

splinter weapon leaves you with nothing but a load of wasted stats when monsters dont bunch, only good in rare circumstances

clawofcrimson · May 16, 2007, 03:19 PM // 15:19

^ so does hundred blades... but it is still fun to use.

ANTICANCER · May 16, 2007, 07:01 PM // 19:01

best elite for the axe part would be triple chop u want as much damage as possible

blue.rellik · May 17, 2007, 02:15 AM // 02:15

If I gt Factions then I am so trying this out, I'm kinda meh towards swords (I prefer axes and hammers) but this sounds really fun

martialis · May 17, 2007, 03:02 AM // 03:02

Consider that cyclone axe hits at the same speed as hundred blades and costs twice as much energy. Also, you can only use S&M slash once every 8 seconds. With a zealous axe, and using cyclone axe and triple chop immediately, an axe build is probably better than this.

You might as well use 14 sword and 12 channeling, since you're going that way.

You have huge amounts of adrenaline going to waste. Huge, huge amounts. Of course, it would be worse with an axe.

Zamochit · May 17, 2007, 03:09 AM // 03:09

cyclone axe and triple chop are ineffective against single targets, also with nightmare and splinter weapon you have a very energy dependant build, whilst claws is a nice balance of adrenal and energy based skills. GG OP I will give this a go I think, looks fun.
