If you go 11/10/10, you can use less runes but achieve the same result.

Also, warrior's cunning is really bad right now, I wouldn't use it.

I don't think having both strength and tactics is optimal, you can rely on strength for a shield, and go secondary monk. There are some nifty offensive options there as well, consider strength of honor.

Thank You for the input. I am trying to max my damage. While staying alive.

Draken

Only in PvE do you have to worry about staying alive warriors are the last targets in PvP and if they happen to attack you your healers should be more than capable of keeping you alive because of your armor. Although you do take some healing load off of the healers by carrying a signet of healing i dont think its worth it because when you really need it is when it will hurt you the most.

Pick up some way to interupts like distracting blow its usefull when trying to kill monks. You shoul also find some skills from your secondary to buff your damage.

I suggest that people don't say

This is GW. Any class can make a build that can be made to specifically target a warrior and kill him.

Anyways, nice build Drizzt. And I suggest what you do what Zrave said. The only suggestion I have, is take out Warriors Cunning for Watch Yourself, Frenzy, or Power Attack.

Mss Drizzt

Why? does it not make sure that all my sword skill's will land. That way I will always have the adren. for each skill and that I get the max for each attack.

Not trying to be scarcastic. I would just like to understand your reasoning a little better.

Kha

Warrior's Cunning lasts 10 seconds and has 60 second recharge. In my opinion that's way too long of a recharge to make it effective for a warrior. 5/6 of the time that skill is just sitting in your skill bar taking up space. And it's a skill you want to be using as much as you can, not one you will need to use occasionally to protect yourself like a defensive stance.

And warriors do tend to be one of the last targets in PvP, especially if their secondary isn't Monk. It's not that people can't make builds to take warriors down, it's just usually more beneficial to take down healers and casters first.

Ah it was my bad I didn't explain it. Here is the description for healing signet I’ve bolded the dangerous part. what this means is that you will have a very hard time using it in combat because when you want to use it your generaly taking a lot of damage and it will require a defensive skill to increase your evasion or some luck to use it and not get hit for some serious damage. This skill gets worse the more people targeting you.

You gain 40-130 health. You take double damage while using this skill.

I also agree with Kha the downtime for warriors cunning makes it so you can only use it twice in a battle since they last around 2 minutes. Blocking and evading skills are also not that prominent if someone wants to disable a warrior they blind, weaken or cast a hex that causes them to miss. This is because most of the evasion or blocking skills are self only skills and thus not that helpful to a team. Where as no matter what target a warrior switches to blind will screw him up.

No skill is set in stone though they may change warriors cunning to make it useful

Sausaletus Rex

Don't use Warrior's Cunning. It's just plain awful now. 17% efficiency and an awful effect makes for frowntown. Take something like Griffon's Sweep or Seeking Blade if you're that worried about your attacks getting avoided.

Also, why are you a Warrior/Elementalist? You're not using anything from your secondary and that's a bit of a glaring oversight. You can't find anything on any other profession that might help you out here?

8) Healing Signet - (0,2,4) You gain 108 health. You take double damage while using this skill.

Kha

I'd get rid of Ice Spikes. 15 energy is a big chunk that could be used better in your build, like keeping Endure Pain/enchantments/stances up as much as possible and using Hundred Blades. If you do want something like Ice Spikes, I think Frozen Burst works better with a warrior (quicker caster, longer slowing, but longer recharge.)

I'm questioning the use of Armor of Frost in your build. If you are using it for PvE, then it seems like a great spell to add in there, but if it is for PvP or GvG then it seems there could be something better. From my experience, warriors tend to be the target of magic first before physical attacks. Swirling Aura would be nice if it had a quicker recharge and you had more in your Water Magic. A stance from Tactics might be good to cover the downtime of Endure Pain.

And if you are going with /E, then you might want to get Conjure of Frost to help with your damage output. Great with Hundred Blades.

Ever try looking at the earth elemental pool? i created a Warr/Elem last beta using earth spells and ive gotta say for PvE he does increadibly well using adrenaline skills for offense and earth def buffs, earth spells slow you down, but most have almost no casting time so you can cast them in the midst of battle, and generally they are short enough to have worn off by the time you have to do any serious running. I can see where this would be a massive disadvanatge in PvP tho... Look into the wards, these have an AoE which could help other allies around you as well, without the reduction in speed you get from armor of earth. Tho it is at abit hefty price... 10 energy per ward is alot for a warrior to consider.

As long as your attacks are mostly adrenaline based, 10 energy for a ward spell is worth it.

Kha

I think "Watch Yourself!" would be better than "Shields Up!"

Riposte is good for PvE, but for PvP you might want to go with Sprint or Rush for when they start to run, or even Berserker's Stance for more damage and adrenaline.
