1. Tiger Stances
2. Triple Chop

Tatics 9 (8+1)

I made this build and I feel something is wrong, I don't know what but I feel it is. If you have any tips or advice please tell me. I don't care if it requires another Prof. =]

Thanks

Switch Lion's for Healing Signet.

Use "Watch Yourself!" instead of "Shields Up!". Just my preference, since WY defends against other damage types other than piercing.

You can switch Exec for Cyclone if you want.

Tiger Stance isn't too good...Flurry? Frenzy? (Psst. I Frenzy in PvE.)

Batou of Nine · Nov 29, 2006, 04:03 AM // 04:03

The following is changes i would make to your build...

1. Tiger Stance
2. Triple Chop
3. Penetrating Chop/Blow -OR- Disrupting Chop -OR- Cyclone Axe
4. Executioner's Strike
5. "For Great Justice!"
6. "Watch Yourself!"
7. Healing Signet
8. Any Res

Strength 9 (8+1)
Axe Mastery 16 (12+1+3)
Tactics 11 (10+1)

Option 3, i would use Cyclone Axe only if you have a Zealous axe. I would use Distrupting Chop in elemenalist heavy areas. Tiger Stance is just fine as long as you have a healer that can take off "blindness" or change to /necro secondary and bring Plague signet, or even /monk secondary for Mend Ailment (just stick remaining points in prot). To deal with the pesky PvE stance monsters, you just bring a hero with Wild Blow...

Thats me 2 cents!
cheers!

Rabbit28 · Nov 29, 2006, 09:03 PM // 21:03

I have PvE'd a long time with my Axe warrior, his build has changed little with the new campaigns

1. Cyclone Axe
2. Healing Sig
3. Dismember
4. Axe Rake (or twist...depends)
5. Tiger Stance (or Flail, you'd probably prefer flail)
6. Gladiator's Defence (i feel all axe elites besides eviscerate to be a waste)
7. Enraging Charge (or power attack, depends on strategy)
8. Rez Sig (never leave home without a rez

Axe Mastery (10 + 1)
Strength (10 + 1 + 1)

BassVII · Nov 30, 2006, 02:57 AM // 02:57

kind of rushing here, but I suggest you git in cyclone axe and vig spirit somewhere, nice dmg and heals

jesh · Nov 30, 2006, 06:12 AM // 06:12

Vigorous Spirit is jewbsauce.

Silk Weaver · Nov 30, 2006, 10:33 AM // 10:33

Flail > Frenzy PvE, especially if you have rush to counter it. Take FGJ out for it. Take somehting out for Cyclone Axe if you have a zealous mod.

Edit: To clarify, there are many areas where AoE is used, which makes frenzy a risk that you don't need to take, especailly since Flail is relatively low on adrenaline, long duration, and you mobs don't run much, often times.

Yukito Kunisaki · Nov 30, 2006, 05:54 PM // 17:54

I actually found frenzy to be just fine in PvE since monsters semi-ignore high AL players...

Just start swinging and carry some counter stance [I prefer adrenaline based like Bonetti's Defense since I never if ever run into pve monsters using Soothing Images, and even if they did, they don't do enough damage for me to care...]

All ya gotta watch out for is things like Sliver Armor and such, they can HURT if you don't cancel out Frenzy.

In fact, with this 'semi-smart' AI, I can almost treat it like PvP. I've been in fights where the archer / caster gets low on hp and then weaves back toward the rear of enemy frontliners...[body blocking along the way as well yow] Then I gotta chase the bastards... Nothing like Rush to cancel Frenzy and make the smartalecs pay and what's more, bringing something like Axe Rake to keep your enemy in range of your casters/long rangers is awesome...

Shadowfox1125 · Dec 01, 2006, 12:32 AM // 00:32

I don't see any need for "For Great Justice!" in this build. It costs 10 energy, and if you'll be spamming Triple Chop, energy will be necessary. A zealous axe might cut it, but I don't know. I like Endure Pain.. in fact, it almost never leaves my skillbar in terms of PvE. Although I know many people dislike the skill, it helps when your team is in a pinch. And for those who like to "tank," it also helps a lot. Just watch your health and watch when you're health shoots down. Endure Pain is a great skill when used at the right times and situations.

I'd go with:
Flurry
Triple Chop
Dismember
Executioner's Strike
Watch Yourself!
Healing Signet
Endure Pain
Rez

Str9, Axe16, Tac11

ShaneOfMach · Dec 01, 2006, 04:12 AM // 04:12

Triple Chop
Penetrating Blow
Executioner's Strike
Watch Yourself
Healing Signet
Physical Resistance
Elemental Resistance
Res

Axe Master: 12 + 3 + 1
Tactics: 11 + 1
Inspiration: 6

This build is great for PvE Purposes. Mitigates a large amount of damage.

jesh · Dec 01, 2006, 09:00 PM // 21:00

Endure Pain?? That's worse than Vigorous Spirit! *argh*
Try taking 6 attack skills, Flail, Enraging Charge/Rush and a res. Just once. Maybe this will open your eyes.

erfweiss · Dec 02, 2006, 06:50 AM // 06:50

The only problem I see with flail is the fact of the speed decrease. I had played with flail a bit and it was annoying me when kiting foes could get away and I couldn't catch them. Went to Tigers stance for that reason.

Think of Enraging Charge not only as a cancel stance for Flail, which it is, but also as taking To The Limit!, because it is. Enraging Chart is just great. What it is *not* meant to do is replace Sprint or Rush in PvP, as the stance will end when you first make contact. In most cases that makes it a bit useless, though Enraging Charge -> Bull's Strike -> On Your Knees! has its merits.

I can understand the practical application on that one. The problem that might occur with that would be the 20 sec recharge for Enraging Charge.

Example: Flailing, he takes off. Enrage charge. Once you hit, you're back at normal swing rate, assuming you don't flail again. If he takes off a 2nd time, you can't break the stance.

I guess it's a matter of which application we're looking at. PvE, I don't think the AI has THAT much skill. PvP....well, it's possible.

gogoblender · Dec 02, 2006, 09:07 AM // 09:07

Stick to Frenzy and get used to using it when the time is right. Pve is so easy there's really no reason to use Fluffy or that other one.

Frenzy with an axe is insane. Just don't use it till after you get a few hits in and see how the fight is goin. If yer the center of attention hold off on using it till the pressure eases, then hit it. Also hold off on using it for the first few hits when all the targets are reaching for you cuz yer the first there. When the rest of your party settles in, hit the frezy button to sink in some swift, powerful chops and finish everything off.
Frenzy and PVe go hand in hand.
Gluck

gogo

p.s. regarding Endure Pain in PVE, I love it. I also love the challenge of working in pugs. And since I never trust the monks, Endure Pain is almost an absolute necessity to buy time till an oft times afk monk thinks to heal you.
lol
