furious defense

warriorsmiley · Sep 02, 2006, 03:56 AM // 03:56

Well weapons mods differ by area. I for example have furious(hammer+sword), elemental(all 3) sundering(all 3) vamp(all 3) and zealous weapons(sword+axe). Reason why i have so many weapons is im always prepared for pvp and pve. When fighting melee creatures you find your elemental damage mod outshines all. Sundering i dont use for that chance of armor deduction i use it to for general purpose like to switch out of my vamp or zealous mod so i have no negative regens and so i dont by chance go and hit a ranger with a elemental mod. But for general pve purpose's i would stick to a elemental damage mod and perhaps a vamp mod. Now i usually have +29 hp grips/pommels becuz 1 hp isnt gonna really matter if your degen to death. I also have +5 defense grips/pommels to switch to when im under heavy attack to lower the damage taken.

So now its down to a few weapons:

Furious, Fortitiude
Furious, Defence
Elemental, Fortitude
Elemental, Defence
Vampiric, Fortitude
Vampiric, Defence

Any preferences for which element to get? I don't see why any element is better than any other unless monsters have a weakness. I was thinking shocking because I like lightning damage (and also many dangerous creatures such as Avicara are weak against it), but icy is good with Spinal Shiver's necros (don't forget I can get an IDS, nice and perfect (Also good for the RoF)), fiery is good because I can get an FDS and they look cool, ebon because... um... I don't know...

Anyway, post what mods you think I should get out of the ones listed, and if you think an elemental mod please list which one and why.

do you read many pve build items? zealous is probaly one of the most popular for pve

pve energy skills:

deadly riposte, gladiator's defense, flurry, frenzy, shield stance, discipline stance, sprint, defensive stance, endure pain, victory is mine, and tons of other skills that i cant think off the top of my head that use up energy and are useful as hell in pve

pvp energy skills:
Movement Speed Increase skill, Attack Speed Increase skill, only a few attack skills that use energy, and maybe shock/plague touch

as you can see, there is tons and tons more skills useful for pve that use up energy then pvp, take the elemental weapon, sundering, furious, vampiric bs, and save it for pvp, its main uses are for pvp, zealous is most useful for pve on many reasons, if you cant think of any ideas for the skills i listed above for pve, then might wanna re-evaluate your pve playing style,

the most useful builds for warrior in pve use up energy, either you like it or not, and most pvp builds are more adrenaline heavy then energy,

Fortitude i think should be left to running through degen places and pvp (when damage amounts are random and may vary,)

Defensive i think should be left to PvE, when you know what your going to face and can have a controlled enviroment where you know you can supplement damage amount with precise defense, while fort on the other hand could be more handy to pervent spike damage.

in my conclusion, for pve my idea weapons would be

1 weapon that adds HEALTH of around +29 or more, for RUNNING and kiting from pve
1 Ice weapon for grouping with shivers necros for deep and etc
1 Zealous of Defense sword

as for you using more adrenaline then energy, Increase Attack Speed Stance + Zealous mod will generate adrenaline

A LOT, I MEAN A - L - O - T !

faster then a sword with just double adrenaline 10% of the time, you also need a zealous most of the time to keep up an IAS unless you want to use frenzy up in group pve, before you start evaluating these people's reasoning with zealous, maybe you should give a though over the whole amount of warrior skills that are going to be used in pve

i use my zealous of defense sword alot, and barely change out of it, takes a hell of a situation for me to switch out of it during pve

Yeh Defense was proved better than fortitude in the long. I just use a +30 on a couple of my swords because i found them. I'm usually using a zealous sword but i switch to an elemental or vampiric sword. I have a sword with every Prefix so yea and they just have some random pommels

I use about 2, sometimes 3 of those listed skills. And btw, thats why I got gladiators armor...

Anyway, for the 4th or 5th time, I DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY AND I AM TALKING ONLY ABOUT PVE

Thank you the whoever actually read what I considered my best options and gave me a straight answer
