Curse

Master Adamdk · Jan 05, 2006, 11:11 AM // 11:11

This is my first ever Build I've posted for people to try, but I think it is a good Build to use.

Attributes:
- Strengh: 7
- Swordsmanship: 11
- Tactics: 8
- Wilderness Survival: 7
Skills:
- Final Thrust
- Galrath Slash
- Pure Strike
- Seeking Blade
- Shield Stance
- Charge (If you not got Charge as it's Elite skill, use Sprint)
- Healing Signet
- Troll Unguent

I use 8 tactics and 7 wilderness survival because that gives you +6 health regeneration and you can heal 100 with healing signet. Shield Stance is useful for if you want to heal because you have 75% to block attacks for 14 seconds, giving you 14 seconds to heal and regenerate health. Even if a Rockshot devourer or something tries a distracting shot, you will most probably block it, enabling you to heal yourself back to max health, then continue fighting. It's good to use seeking blade and pure strike until the enemies health is below about 40%, then you will have enough adrenaline to use Galrath slash, then finish the target off with Final Thrust.

Best to have Armour with +85 armour, although mine is only +65 chainmail as I am busy saving for +85 armour.

- Your thoughts on this small build?

W/R are good with hammers. you might want to look into making a thumper bunny if you go w/r.

I prefer Swords than hammers. But is a thumper bunny a W/R with hamemr skills and beast skills?
Like they'd maybe have

Irresistable Blow
Charm Animal
Healing Signet
Troll Unguent
Call of Protection
Then more hammer and animal skills?

1. Where is your res?
2. Why be a W/R if you are not going to use Tigers Fury? If you use tf with aobut o 9 beast, it is good.
3. Your build seems like it needs too much energy.
4. Use them pre searing skills! Sever Artery and Gash FTW! Take out pure strike and troll(unless you are going to solo around, which isn't smart most of the time with a W/R)
5. Use a better elite and/or Savage Slash/Skull Crack, sprint works fine.

Also you can try axe, which the build is pretty much iway but more healing and damage skills, instead of charm animal and IWAY.

1) You only need res if your with a party
2) I don't have Tigers Fury
3) Might need lots of energy, but say if you use Pure Strike, then Seeking Blade, 8 seconds later you will have enough energy for pure strike and Seeking Blade again. And while you wait for energry you should have enough adrenaline to use Glarath Slash then Final Thrust
4) Sever Artery and Gash... Well you could include them, and I do when I'm solo, but in a party for mission, etc, you will have Necro's to make them bleed.
5) Not bought Savage Slash, and not got Skull Crack. But Sprint is good.

Like I said, it's my first time I've written a Build. i thought of it, then tested it.

Instead of Wildnerness Survival, use Beast Mastery! So you can use Tiger's Fury and have a pet so you can use IWAY.

Is this for PvP or PvE?

Because in most competative PvP, troll is a rather mundane self-heal and tiger's fury is the shining point of W/R. Also, the build does take a lot of energy, considering that in 8 seconds you will gain 5.33 energy, which doesn't cover two 5 energy skills (not to mention other stuff).

Unless you're farming, res sig is needed. It's quite possibly the best res skill in the game.

And when did Necros have bleed skills? Perhaps you're thinking of just standard life degeneration?

Signet of Agony and then use Plague Sending for a Necro skills only bleed.
