This will be good at killing casters, so here goes at making a build on top of my head.

Rush
Bull's Strike
Headbutt
Plague Touch
Defence of choice
Attack of choice
Healing Siggy
(rez)

I think the Dazed condition deserves some extra speed attacks to make sure everything that happens in that 10 seconds is interupted. Unfortunatly, Headbut+Plague Touch = 20e. Normally, I would go with a sword build or hammer build (just because swords have better non-elite skills, and hammer has KD). I don't know much about hammers and hammers do not look good to my eyes. But in this case, I think an Axe build would work really well too:

Headbutt
Plague Touch
Critical Chop or Bull's Strike
Dismember
Flail or Axe Rake
Lion's Comfort
Rush or Enraging Charge
Rez Sig

Stats:
Axe 16
Strength: 13
rest in tactics.

Why axe? why no other +damage skills? This build is designed to get in, and disrupt a caster like mad.

I just thought of a good sword build though...

Headbutt
Plague Touch
Protector's Strike
Barbarous Strike
Gash
Lion's Comfort
Enraging Charge
Rez Sig

Stats:
Sword 16
Strength: 13
rest in tactics.

Idea here is to charge up Barbarous and Gash before you headbutt. YOu are covering the daze with both bleeding and deep wounds.

I'd rather do it like this:

#1: Headbutt [elite]
#2: Sever Atery
#3: Gash
#4: Heal Sig
#5: Plague Touch
#6: Tiger Stance / Frenzy(if using in PvP)
#7: "Watch yourself"/ Sprint or Rush (if using in PvP)
#8: Rez Sig

Swordmanship: 12 + 3 + 1
Strength: 8 + 1
Tactics: 10 + 1

Use Headbutt and Plague Touch for damage and use Sever and Gash to cover dazed...

The Mad Man · Nov 08, 2006, 11:36 PM // 23:36

I've used
1)Headbutt
2)Plague touch
3)Desperation blow
4)Drunken blow
5)Balanced stance
6)Rush
7)Healing Signet
8)Rez sig

Strength: 10+1
Axe Mastery:11+3+1
Tactics:10+1

gives conditions like a plague rat. only problem ive had is energy management.

I allready suspected that many people would notice this far too obvious combo.

Headbutt + Plague touch = end of caster. Sure it costs 20 energy together but with glads and zealous mod you recover quick enough from this.

Ridiculed · Nov 09, 2006, 04:33 PM // 16:33

You have 2 balanced stances in that skillset

Effigy · Nov 09, 2006, 07:22 PM // 19:22

I tried the HB+PT combo as well, but that 20e combo really makes it difficult to do anything else. You're also going to need an IAS, which is another 5e. You could use Rush instead of Sprint, but it won't work with Final Thrust if you use sword.

I'd say axe or sword works best with HB, since they have faster attack speed for interrupting and KDs from hammer aren't important since your goal is to interrupt the spells they cast, thus shutting them down and burning through their energy. If they are KDed, they are not casting and the dazed condition is pointless.

stueyman2099 · Nov 11, 2006, 11:06 AM // 11:06

last time I checked, headbutt was 15 energy, and plague touch was 5.

so, you wanna use your entire energy pool (assuming no +energy stuff) on a combo? just for dazed? I'd sonner bring skull crack... and I really don't like skull crack.

mathijn · Nov 11, 2006, 12:44 PM // 12:44

well, with glads armor u have 26? energy.
add a +5 energy sword 2 it and you have 11 energy left

why are you going to use a +5 energy weapon? 15^50 is infinately better. Glads armor, eh, ok, but thats much to work with, and it's gonna take you close to 30 seconds to get that nrg back.

my point stands, 20 energy is not worth the effect you get.

Envy Eternum · Nov 12, 2006, 04:53 AM // 04:53

Plague touch transfers the remaining duration of each condition. After you do your little Headbutt crap the target will most likely kite away and by the time you plague touch him the daze has about 5-7 seconds left ZoMg GG I just wasted 20 energy transferring a 5 second long Dazed..YAY!

Carth` · Nov 12, 2006, 06:50 AM // 06:50

I also tried Headbutt + Plague Touch. It was just too energy intensive, and unfortunately it is linked to Strength to only a warrior can really do it. It leaves you with not really enough energy to do much at all, and isn't easily repeatable.

There are much better ways of causing dazed, and a warrior not based around Headbutt can be far more useful and his allies can caused the dazed.
