I use this build in PvE and it works well. I haven't tried it in PvP, but i think it would work well.

Warrior/Monk
Level: 20

Weapon : Zealous / +5 energy / +30 hp / Max dmg Sword
Sheild: Any Strength Sheild with +30 hp mod
Armor: Full Glads (or mabey replace the head/arms/legs with +5 hp ones instead) so u get 33 energy.

Strength: 9 (8+1)
Swordsmanship: 16 (12+4)
Protection Prayers: 10

- Barbarous Slice (Swordsmanship)
If this attack hits, you deal +21 damage. If you are currently not in a Stance, you also inflict Bleeding for 16 seconds.
Adrenaline:6

- Gash (Swordsmanship)
If this attack hits a Bleeding foe, you strike for 21 more damage and that foe suffers a Deep Wound, lowering that foe's maximum Health by 20% for 21 seconds.
Adrenaline:7

- Galrath Slash (Swordsmanship)
This attack strikes for +43 damage if it hits.
Adrenaline:8

- Final Thrust (Swordsmanship)
Lose all adrenaline. If Final Thrust hits, you deal 43 more damage. This damage is doubled if your target was below 50% Health.
Adrenaline:10

- Zealous Benediction [Elite] (Protection Prayers)
Heal target ally for 130 Health. If target was below 50% Health, you gain 10 Energy.
Energy:10 Cast:0.75 Recharge:4

- Mending Touch (Protection Prayers)
Touched ally loses two Conditions and is healed for 45 Health for each Condition removed in this way.
Energy:5 Cast:0.75 Recharge:4

- "For Great Justice!" (Warrior other)
For 20 seconds, your adrenal skills charge twice as fast.
Energy:10 Cast:0 Recharge:45

- Resurrection Signet ()
Resurrect target party member. That party member is returned to life with 100% Health and 25% Energy. You may use this Signet only once per mission.
Energy:0 Cast:3 Recharge:0

Stragety:
Charge in and when u engauge hit "For Great Justice!" and just keep it up as much as possible. Then follow up with Barbarous Slice > Gash > Galrath Slash > Final Thrust. Hit Mending touch when u get a condition or 2(ideally when u get 2). Hit Zealous Benediction when u hit below 50% health.

so is this a team or solo build?

LightningHell · Nov 19, 2006, 09:40 AM // 09:40

Might work in Random Arenas, and might work in the other arenas as well due to the opposing team dying of laughter.

Your Elite, firstly, is ghastly for a Warrior.

I believe it is geared for PvE.

Mending Touch looks acceptable on a warrior the same way plague touch works...

... so why not use plague touch?

Haggard · Nov 19, 2006, 11:06 AM // 11:06

Replace Steelfang Slash with Gash. This build has no knockdowns, making SF Slash entirely useless compared with the Deep Wound from Gash, which enables a huge spike. Interesting concept though on the elite, but not sure how effective it would really be.

If you plan to run this in PvP, you'll need a speed boost, and possibly an interuppt. Also, Final Thrust helps a great deal in PvP, when combined with the Deep Wound effect it can lead to spikes of 350+

This is either a solo build or a stupid build. Please don't try to PvP with this.

As for Mending Touch vs. Plague Touch, mend removes up to two conditions and heals you for a small amount. The former is obviously a defensive choice, whereas the latter is a more offensive one.

I would like to know why my build is a stupid build. Plz explain.

No shield, for starters...

And the worst choice of Elite possible for a Warrior. It's even worse than Healing Hands!

pinoy474 · Nov 20, 2006, 03:58 AM // 03:58

KK i edited my build to include a shield and took some advice from Haggard.

How's it look now?

Tiny Killer · Nov 20, 2006, 07:24 AM // 07:24

For starters, I would say you need to get rid of the monk skills. Warriors casting spells in the middle of a fight is a recipe for failure. You need to be attacking the bad guys.

LightningHell · Nov 20, 2006, 08:18 AM // 08:18

Or casting Healing Signet, not using your precious energy to heal yourself.

Well the reason I picked Zealous Benedicition is to only cast it when I drop below 50% health so I get the energy I used to cast it back. And Healing Signet can be easily interrupted (2 sec cast). While Zealous Benediction isn't as easy to interrupt (3/4 sec cast).

Well, it's not like the spells I'm casting have long casting periods. Also, I only use the skills when I have a condition or when I drop below 50% health.

Skuld · Nov 20, 2006, 04:37 PM // 16:37

But you're wasting your elite, and investing precious points in prot.

LightningHell · Nov 20, 2006, 11:57 PM // 23:57

Mending Touch is fine, but Zealous Benediction is just...not on.

If you're looking just for PvP, you find it that most people will not even to try to interupt your healing signet unless you're ganking and engaging in 1v1 fight(or you're in HA, where the ghostly hero have leet AI) and yeah, 3/4 second is still possible to interupt but you wont find people with that capability often, and I'm pretty sure you wont be able to fire off AB if you have FGJ because of the small en regen that warrior have(well you could, but you're not performing efficiently).

Then about Zealous Benediction, I think you might want to use another elite and do some observation in obs mode(press 'b' on your keyboard) on how people play warrior.

Is a build like this better? (This is the one im currently using)

Warrior/Necromancer
Level: 20

Swordsmanship: 16 (12+4)
Tactics: 12

- Barbarous Slice (Swordsmanship)
- Gash (Swordsmanship)
- Quivering Blade [Elite] (Swordsmanship)
- Final Thrust (Swordsmanship)
- Healing Signet (Tactics)
- Plague Touch (Necromancer Other)
- "For Great Justice!" (Warrior other)
- Resurrection Signet ()

Stratgety:
Hit "FGJ!" when u engauge the target. Charge up ur adren and hit Quivering Blade. If it's blocked and u end up dazed then use Plauge Touch to remove it. Then follow up with Barbarous Slice > Gash. Then hit Quivering Blade again and if bocked and dazed then use Plauge Touch. Keep on the cycle and hit Final Thrust to finish off the opponent. Use Healing Sig to heal and Rez Sig to rez.

LightningHell · Nov 21, 2006, 01:34 AM // 01:34

Fren-zy! Fren-zy! Fren-zy!

And the fact that you have no speed stance/buff.

Silk Weaver · Nov 21, 2006, 09:43 AM // 09:43

A generic sword build:

Sever Artery
Gash
Final Thrust
Frenzy
Rush/Sprint
Healing Signet
Optional
Rez Signet

Quivering isn't that bad, but and might help if you use plague touch, so I guess you could replace final thrust with that, but it's not really that good, doesn't spike as well. Some people use dragonlance for continuous adrenal attack spam, but I'm not really for that either.

Aw, screw swords. Anet needs to learn that a Katana is a bastard sword, not a skinny lil' thing.

I'd just add on a bit there...

Sever Artery
Gash
Final Thrust
Frenzy
Sprint/Rush/Hex Breaker
Healing Signet
Optional {E} (Includes: Expel Hexes, "Charge!", Empathic Removal, "You're All Alone!". Generally, utility Elites. You can try fitting in an Attack elite, though.
Resurrection Signet/Signet of Malice (for "You're All Alone!")

Last I checked Campfire = PvE not PvP so either A its a Farming build or B its a PvE build therefore saying " I hope this isnt a PvP build" is retarded. Unless the guy posted in the wrong area.
