Eh what are you going to spend your energy on? Galrath Slash?

Aye. Believe me, I'd have a lot more to offer if we were talking all three chapters. For instance, my current pet is using Dragon Slash, Steelfang Slash and Whirlwind as an engine to power other adrenal skills...

Melee weapons with fiery mods do indeed count for Mark of Rodgort - or at least, they did a year or so ago when I was experimenting with it.

Yeah I'm planning to get Factions as soon as I play enough of prophecies >_>
And if I can still find a stall selling Factions ._.

They only have Proph and Nightfalls T_T (curse you Australian game stalls!)

Well, "For Great Justice!" is 10e, Frenzy 5, Sprint 5, Enraging Charge 5...
There's plenty of very useful skills that you're better off spending that energy on.
Your average warrior with Gladiator's armour has an energy pool of 28, with only 2 pips of regen. Mark of Rodgort makes it VERY hard to utilise anything BUT Mark of Rodgort unless you switch to a zealous weapon, which kinda defeats the object.
If you're grouping with a fire elementalist, let them handle Mark of Rodgort while you use a Fiery weapon.
Works MUCH better.

XingLoong · Jan 03, 2007, 02:26 PM // 14:26

Yeah, but I mostly Hench >_>.
All I've got left for my Warrior is find a few more decent builds with W/x other than the standard le whammo, mapping 19% left ._., the rest of the skills >_< poor! and anything else if I ever get the gold for it.

Aussie, huh? What part? Last I checked, there were still a couple of boxes of Factions floating around in EB stores in Canberra.

XingLoong · Jan 04, 2007, 12:37 AM // 00:37

Victoria, When I first bought Proph they had Factions next to it in EBGames, I thought that I'd buy it later... big mistake >_<.

draxynnic · Jan 04, 2007, 12:44 AM // 00:44

Canberra might not help you much, then... although it might be something to keep in mind if you ever do visit the capital.

You could try asking if they can get a copy moved to the local store for you, though.

XingLoong · Jan 04, 2007, 12:46 AM // 00:46

Yeah I could try that, otherwise it might be best to purchase it online >_>

draxynnic · Jan 04, 2007, 12:50 AM // 00:50

Also an option - I was holding back from mentioning it because not everyone has a credit card, and while there are (or used to be) Australian online games distributors that have alternate payment options, I don't think any of them have Factions.

XingLoong · Jan 04, 2007, 12:51 AM // 00:51

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo T_t.

LightningHell · Jan 04, 2007, 02:04 AM // 02:04

Please refrain from posting messages such as " Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo T_t."

Well, at least post something amidst it.

Playing W/E can be tough...I guess you can try using a generic Sword build with perhaps Water Trident, or drop /E entirely? You could try using a Shock Axe without the Shock, or perhaps a Cleave Axe.

XingLoong · Jan 04, 2007, 02:09 AM // 02:09

No no, see, in my first post, I've completed the campaign with W/Mo the standard whammo, what I want now is something different. And I really like the prospect of W/E even though it seems incompatible. >_>

Anyhoo, sorry for the useless post up there ^.^,

Water trident on a warrior is so much fun, but not that great for pve.

Honestly, though, if you're looking for "THE BEST" warrior pve build, you really don't need a secondary. If it's for pve run whatever makes you happy, just don't suck too bad or everyone will hate you. A lot.

Kern Wolf · Jan 04, 2007, 02:55 AM // 02:55

Actually, playing W/E isn't that difficult; I've had a lot of fun with it through all three campaigns. I make it a point to really study those ele skills. Try using those skills that dont have long cast times (3/4 to 1 sec is good), until you get comfortable with it. You wont have too much succes trying to use spells in the middle of a melee that take 3 or more seconds to cast--the chance of getting interrupted works against you.
Earlier, you mentioned that you were thinking about usng some Air skills, because you had a good weapon for that. Look at those skills: a lot of them focus on single targets, whereas Earth and Fire have more AoE skills (I like using Earth and Fire more, but Air isn't that bad). You could try Glimmering Mark (provided the enemies arent interrupting you too badly) + Lightning Bolt.
Keep in mind that it will take you longer to finish an enemy using Air skills...

Coloneh · Jan 04, 2007, 02:56 AM // 02:56

if your getting factions, id check amazon. when i was looking at nightfall they were still selling the faction pre-release thingy

Kern Wolf · Jan 04, 2007, 03:04 AM // 03:04

Factions isn't available in GW's online store?

He just wants something different. I thought something fun but not utterly crap would be a moderately good idea, since Shock is like...less than useless?...in PvE.

It has its uses, like say stopping a Word of Madness while you are unable to cancel Flail or even knocking down Kanaxi during The Deep mission. I use it as an interrupt, despite knowing there are alot more warrior interrupts, because I am a lazy a**hole.

But yea it's got very limited uses in PvE.
