Before other people start the flaming, mending is not really very popular in 8x8 PVP, especially from a warrior.

As a general rule, in 8x8 PvP you have 3 monks healing you. Its their job and they do it better than you can. Your job as warrior is to deal damage - try to focus on that.

The Warrior/monk builds have taken a lot of flak because of the paladin premade. While there are some possible effective builds (say an adrenal axe warrior with succor or life barrier), seing a W/mo in the enemy team is usually a good sign

- there are other secondaries that can add much to your damage potential.

If you're going to play it in GvG or Tombs, try to build your skills according to the overall team build, not independently

i take mending for activate the bonus of my shield..

Take strength of honour from the smiting line to activate your stuff. Then take out orison, and put in either judges insight or.... gash. Deep wounds are fun, although for adrenaline attacks i suppose axe is better. Put in final thrust, actually, take out sever artery, dont put in gash, and keep savage slash, and then get protectors strike. Actually, dont put that in, get frenzy or sprint. Both is preference, but at least one....

Yukito Kunisaki · Oct 06, 2005, 03:29 PM // 15:29

ALWAYS pack sprint. Sprint is always useful. Frenzy however, is not as useful since it doesn't help you stay close... That's a Warrior's goal after all.

Hundred Blades sucks as an elite. If you want an elite, don't use a sword elite. You need something that can feed your energy hungry build. [10e. for a cripple is very inefficient.]

Go for a Sword Condition build using Victory is Mine! {E}

12+1+3 Swordsmanship
8+1 Strength
10 Smiting Prayers [yes SMITING!!!]

Hamstring
Sever Artery
Gash
Final Thrust/Smite Hex
Frenzy
Sprint
Victory is Mine! {E}
Strength of Honor

This should help greatly with energy issues.

ViM works better with mass aoe things like enfeebling blood. In those situations, it just recharges health and energy like that. In warrior sword situations, its not so hot.

If you stack orders and buffs and so forth hundred blades is great. Its just duel shot but no damage reduction, for warriors, and can be aoe. With nothing on it, its just a slightly more powerful attack, but thats not giving it full credit, since it isnt really being used properly.

You realize that since you don't have 9 Tactics that your shield is providing you with about 3-4 armor, and not 16 armor?

catator · Oct 06, 2005, 06:03 PM // 18:03

yes. i have change that. ^^ i have now 9 in tactic and low in healing prayer

Why don't you use a decent PvP char for PvP, rather than hobble along with a crippled PvE character?

NightOwl · Oct 06, 2005, 09:02 PM // 21:02

Taion makes a point. Seems like you have a fair amount of stuff unlocked, why not use a pvp char to make the best use of it? W/Mo isn't too great for pvp imo.

Yukito provided a fairly solid w/mo build (as far as swords go...they aren't great for pvp either). I'd suggest giving that a shot, you'll probably do alright with that if you don't want to use a pvp char with a different weapon.

16 in your weapon attribute helps more than you might think, btw. You'll still be tough with the 455hp you'll have, thanks to the armor and absorb rune.

Swords are great for pvp. Galrath Slash-Final Thrust is the second most powerful warrior spike in the game, after, eviscerate-executioners strike, and so sword warriors can, or should be often found backing up an axe warrior. Whatsmore they have more utility for arena and even higher levels with interrupt capability.

Wa/Mo rocks pvp. Strength of Honor/Ji ftw!!
