'The End Is Nigh!'

Ok, well this is my first official build which im posting.. So be nice

'The End Is Nigh!' build utilises certain aspects of the Warrior's attacking skills to deal heafty damage to target foes, whilst utilising defensive skills to keep you alive long enough to ensure that you finish off your enemy(s).

Attirbute Distribution:
Swordsmanship 11+1
Strength 10+1+1
Tactics 10+1

Skills:Thrill of Victory, Final Thrust, "You Will Die!", "For Great Justice!", Endure Pain, Auspicious Parry {E}, Healing Signet, Ressurection Signet.

Equipment:
Almost any end game armour will work well with this build. Personally I used Knight's Armor, with a Platemail chest. I use the platemail chest for the extra base AL, which can be useful against Elemental damage, and Knight's Armour for the reduced damage mod. Any max damage sword will do, preferably with a 15^50 modifier. Use a Zealous sword hilt if you are stuggling for energy (Which shouldn't really be a problem). The best modification would probably be a Furious sword hilt, as the extra chance of Adrenaline may be useful.

Usage:
* Run into battle and use "For Great Justice!" to charge up your adrenal skills quickly.
* Use Endure Pain if the foe(s) you are attacking are a higher level to you.
* Use Thrill of Victory whenever recharged until they are below 50% health.
* Use Auspicious Parry to deflect attacks and build up extra Adrenaline for your skills.
* Use the Shout "You Will Die!" when your target is under 50% health.
* Finally, Finish your opponent off with Final Thrust.
* If you find you have an excess of Adrenaline, use Final Thrust more often to get your opponents to under 50% health faster.
* Remember to seek out the enemies which can give you health degeneration first. These can be very annoying at times.

Counters:
* Enemies using defensive skills, such as Whirling Defence and Gladiator's Defence may become a problem.
* Health Degeneration can be annoying. Use Auspicious Parry and then Healing Signet whenever possible.

Variants:
* Dolyak Signet can be used in place of Auspicious Parry, although the reduced speed movement would be an extreme problem in PvP.
* When in PvP, an interrupt skill or Hamstring may be useful against spellcasters and kiters. Replace Ressurection signet with your additional skill in AB's.

Constructive Criticism please

. Also, please post on the Guild Wiki link if you have tested this build and would like to comment.

Damage = Nothing
Strength = Too high
Swordsmanship = Too low
Auspicious Parry = Only works if a warrior hits you. Warrior vs. Warrior is unlikely in PvP.
Build = Not good imo.

Very nice. I doubt it's for pvp since he talks about "* Use Endure Pain if the foe(s) you are attacking are a higher level to you." Unless you like pvping with al lower lvl toon.

He talks about PVP in the wiki link.

Poor build.

This build would suck in PvE too. AP = Solo play.

I've left some comments on the wiki page without seeing this posted here ><

Hope some of that is helpful

The reason for the mention of PvP is because I thought it would be nice to add something about it. As you can see i've told them to change certain skills, however this build would be primarily PvE. I'm testing this build at the moment, so admendments are sure to be made.

And thanks for the comments Skuld. I'll be sure to try that build once I do the quest to make me a Ritualist xD

Don't you just have to go to Senji's corner and buy it there?

AP works on bowshots, daggers, wands, staves, all of that

Drop Strength two points, put one in Swordsmanship, and use a Swords helm and you'd be a bit better.

Oh, so it isn't like Riposte

My bad.

Short of a farming build I don't know why you'd run with less than 14 in your main weapon stat in pve. And pvp you should never have less than 16...

Ah, I sure hope you don't need AP just to survive being wanded cause that's just sad...
