Curse

Well, usually, I use an Axe Warrior that uses Tigers Fury+ Cleave for mass pwnage. However, I just acquired a beatiful sword and I've gotten sick of dumping so many attirbutes for Tigers Fury, so this is a little Wammo innovation I cooked up......

Attributes- 14-16 Swords (Sup Rune of Course )
10 Healing (Not for mending though =P)
Dump rest into strength or any of the above

Equipment-- Glads full set would be nice, and a -2 in stance shield too. In my opinion, a ZEALOUS SWORD is a must have.

Skills:
Dragon Slash (E)
Sun and Moon Slash
Silverwing/Galrath Slash
Sever Artery
For Great Justice
Frenzy
Vigorous Spirit
Live Vicarously

(Take out an attack for rez if you want-- I would take out sever 6 degen won't help much if monsters die in 4 seconds =) with this build)

Well, here's how you use it. Before battle, switch to a NON zealous weap and throw on Live Vicarously. Wait for energy to regen then switch back. When going into battle throw on Vigorous Spirit and FGJ. Frenzy whenever you wanna and see the numbers start flying (as this is a PVE build, not many attacks will be directed at you, so the double damage from frenzy will be easily negated from the massive healing). You shouldn't have to worry about enchant removal-- vigorous spirit covers liva vicarously and only has a 4 sec recast. This build will give you a constant 60ish DPS (dragon slash+ silverwing+ sun and moon every second + with frenzy on) and a constant 30ish hp per second.NOTE THAT THIS IS FOR PVE GROUPS/MISSIONS. If you wanna SOLO, I heavily suggest that you switch out frenzy for flurry.

Any feedback? criticism? suggestions? it would be welcome =p

well, dragon slash is 10 adrenaline, and with for great justice that knocks it down to what.. like 6~7 hits? the only critisims i have about this build is hundreds blade, would be for one, much better energy management, and two, even a great way to build adrenaline, becaus you can use hundreds blade (typically in pve you'll have 2-3 monsters standing next together) so yo'll have plent of adrenaline, and bam, spike the rest of the way, using hundreds blade when needed, or when you want to do damage between waiting for adrenal skills

SojiroTenken · Jul 15, 2006, 04:02 AM // 04:02

Well, besides the inital 5-6 hits to get dragon slash reved up, once you get the dragon-sun-moon-silverwing combo going, you'll almost always have enough adrenaline-- but thanks for the hundreds idea =)

**Silverwing And/or Galrath Slash -> Sun & Moon Slash -> Dragon Slash***

That combo right there is the ONLY reason i started playing sword in PvE every so often in factions. Seriously, once you get enough adren for Dragon slash, you can then cycle this combo NONSTOP! The increased IAS + double adren makes Adren gain REAL fast, in like 4-5 hits you will be fully charged for the initial skill usage. Once fully charged, you use the skills in the above order and once you have cycled its ready to go again because of the extra adrenaline gain from Dragon AND Sun/Moon. Even if you cant initiate the next cycle right away, you will at least be like 1 hit away from the attack combo.

This combo pwns Hundred Blades hands down. For Adren combo attacks, Dragon > Hundred. A simple zealous recovers initial energy usage just fine since you will be spamming that adren combo most of the time...

Nearly at the start of Factions release me and a friend discovered this fun filled combo, and ahve been using all sorts of variations with Dragon Slash since then... Its real fun. Like using a nonstop Assasin combos, purely on adrenaline. HAha.

enjoy.

zealous axe is very active with berserker stance
.

If you're using Live Vicariously and Vigorous Spirit you should definitely switch over to Hundred Blades to capitalize from them. Sever Artery has no point in a skill bar if you don't bring Gash along with that and if you're brining gash you might as well bring Final Thrust. Besides that you don't have mending I don't see how this build distances itself from the other W/Mo builds out there.

An effective GvG warrior does not use 97 out of 200 attribute points to heal himself, as a warrior is used to deal high damage in a short-medium amount of time.

An effective PvP warrior uses around 9 attribute levels for healing signet and a minor rune which makes tactics 10 (9+1). Healing signet will heal for 115 health.
The reason why a PvP warrior uses high healing is because he usually does not have a monk or other healer at hand, thus needs a selfheal.

healing burst only cost 5 energy for you and one other player in the area it canst utmost instantly and can heal for 126
and healing burst cost a max of 10 energy if there is more allied creachers in the area making it and area heal (which is great if your in a group) and it don't heal enemy target's like heal area Duse
Healing signet yes it is a good heal if you don't mind a -40 to armour class will casting it and it is slow to cast
this makes healing prayers more effective then the healing signet in tactics
making healing burst a spell with more bang for the buck over healing signet
.
but there is one thing you have to cheep in mind the playing style of a player
wot work for one person dos not always work for another person

SojiroTenken · Jul 15, 2006, 06:38 PM // 18:38

Note that this is a PVE BUILD

SparhawkJC · Jul 15, 2006, 08:29 PM // 20:29

Healing Burst:
-Elite
-Healing Prayers not affected by runes
-Costs energy, 5 energy is still 1/5th or 1/4th of the Warrior's energy bar, which would be better spent on an attack.

Healing Signet
-Not Elite
-Tactics is affected by runes and has more useful damage reduction skills under it (i.e. Defensive stances, Watch yourself!, etc.)
-Costs no energy

zeracore · Jul 15, 2006, 10:38 PM // 22:38

combined a zealous mod with berserker stance energy is no problem
and i am not using glade armor with the Wammo I'm using a healing ankh with +12 to energy
with a +5 to energy weapon and glade armor a wammo can easily reach a max energy of 44 and still have energy recovery
.
i will aamit my built is a Little strange bot it work for me
