everything looks good but for one thing.

i would switch out vampiric touch with this skill

Life Siphon
For 12-22 seconds, target suffers health degeneration of 1-3, and you gain health regeneration of 1-3.
Hex - 10 energy - 2 cast - 2 recharge

reason being, is VT costs 15 energy, that would be hard to use with your build since you have a few other energy skills.

portiadude · Apr 09, 2005, 11:39 AM // 11:39

Hmm 5 energy saved is great. I might do that. And the best part... It took me only 10 minutes to make it

Vanquisher · Apr 09, 2005, 02:16 PM // 14:16

You have an Axe Attack (in Disrupting Chop) in a Sword Warrior build. Thought you might like to know.

portiadude · Apr 09, 2005, 02:48 PM // 14:48

Weird this sites skills base says it´s a melee attack

Chaos Engine · Apr 09, 2005, 03:48 PM // 15:48

I think Shield Bash is an elite skill as well (it can't be used with Life Transfer).
Also, instead of Vampiric Touch, you might want to use Vampiric Gaze. Takes 0.25 second longer to cast, but costs 5 less energy (and heals you for slightly less) and has better range.

You could also look into other stances and sword attacks, Berserker Stance and Savage Slash for example.

portiadude · Apr 09, 2005, 04:11 PM // 16:11

A we can easyly change it. This is the beauty of GW

Nash · Apr 09, 2005, 04:42 PM // 16:42

Shield Bash is not elite.
Disrupting Chop is indeed an Axe Attack.

Putting Life Siphon in with Life Transfer and Sever Artery means that some damage done is going to waste.

Gash sucks, I'd use Galrath Slash instead.

Zrave · Apr 09, 2005, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Please ignore Nash when he says Gash sucks. I'll mark it down as stubborness + lack of opportunity to test himself.

I think you definitely want final thrust to go with it though.

Nash · Apr 09, 2005, 05:14 PM // 17:14

You can mark it down as whatever, doesn't change that Deep Wound isn't worth the skill slot, though.

tastegw · Apr 09, 2005, 07:13 PM // 19:13

deepwounds = target looses about 180-200 max health for about 20 seconds.

what sux about that?

if you think about it, if that target is the main target, then gash just landed a 200 dmg hit.

It would be about 100 max health (at lvl 20). 180-200 is 40%, not 20%.

opps your right lol, wasnt thinkin strait.

but still, very nice indeed.

portiadude · Apr 09, 2005, 07:35 PM // 19:35

Gash is helpful. By takig a 5th of the live in 1 strike isn´t bad. And when the rest of the team is beating him/she we have a easy time with the target. Gash isn´t bad if you use it right

Acan Vishnu · Apr 09, 2005, 10:28 PM // 22:28

Only problem with that is it wouldn't work on the first enemy you come across as you need to build up the adrenaline first to use sever artery, then to use gash, and by then their health will (I would hope) already be down further than the deep wound would remove.

It however is still a nice skill, I personally like it because of the reduced healing effects.
