I call this my Hunter Endurance Build becouse of the speed and attack boost.

Build Template

Profession: [Warior/Ranger]

Name: [Hunter Endurance Build]

Type: [All the following - CompetitivePvP/GeneralPvP/8v8/Gvg]

Category: [ Both ~Tank/Damage]

Attributes:

Strength 11+1
Axe 12+3+1
Wild 6

Skills Set

Skill/Cost

Swift Chop [5 energy]
Penetrating Blow [5 adrn]
Executioners strike [8 adrn]
Battle rage [4 adrn] {Elite}
Endure Pain [5 energy]
I will avenge you [10 energy]
Troll unguent [5 energy]
Rez Sig

Summary: This Build does very high dmg while enduring large amounts of dmg for a long time.

Battle rage is the Key to this build, you gain a 50% reduction in adrnaline and a 25% speed boost. so penetrating blow and executioners strike are reduced to 2.5 and 4 adrn respectively. This means you can spam these high dmg skills for 17 seconds (duration of Battle rage) and chase down anyone running from you, meaning you will still swing your axe while they are running unless they are also using a speed boost.

This build is Kenetic so once battle rage starts it will not stop becouse it takes far less than 17 seconds to recharge it so when you feel it is running out you can restart it emidiatly, efectivly you are continuosly dishing out high dmg non stop, with the one to two sec time between rechraging of Penetrating Blow and Executioners strike you can spam swift chop at a rate that will not reduce your energy by much.

add to all this the 15% dmg boost on your weapon everytime you use the stance so it is almost permanant.

My faveroute part the Iway, yeah yeah iway boring done to death etc but think about this, Iway not only gives you a health boost but also an attacking boost of 33% and it does not cancil out battle rage they stack. So you have a 50% reduction in adrn a 25% speed boost and a 33% dmg Boost all at the same time, the dmg you pump out at this rate is urber.

Endure pain works well when the other team concentrates on you, use it at the start of this not the end as most people use there best skills at the begining this will buy your monk time to recharge any energy they lost and heal you when it ends and you take a big hit in health. this is also excelent when it is 1 on 1 or two on 1 it lasts for 16 seconde which is a long time for anyone to finish the oponent or if you need use troll or get healed by a monk. if you know when to use it most of the time u are the last one standing espetialy with the dmg this build pumps out.

all wariors have the same concern blidness, do not be tempted to use wariors cunning it does not stack with your attack skills so you will be doing little dmg whcih is not worth the effort or the slot. The main skills in this build last 16 or 17 seconds which is plenty if time to either wait it out or run for cover if needed. Usualy i stay at them as they can not spam blind for long espetialy if they want to help there team or do something other than defend against me.

With this build i rarely run out of energy so mesmers are usualy not effective against me since my attacks and stance are all adrn based.

Armor: Kinghts armor with absorption x 1 piece, gladiator armor for the rest and Axe Helm.
Weapon: Sundering Axe of Fortitude with boost while in stance.
Shield: strength shield with boost while in stance.

Sup Vigor and sup Absorption.

ever been against sympathetic visage or soothing images?

I would advise not using a full set of knights. One piece (gauntlets or boots is optimal if using a weapon attribute helm) is all you need for the damage reduction.

Saladin · Dec 07, 2005, 10:00 AM // 10:00

regarding the nights armor yes you could use gladiator but hounestly if im being drained the extra few points wont make much of a difference, i dont spam any energy skills so i have plenty of time to rechrage. Or am i missing the point of Knights armor and how the absorption works?

there is no such thing as all purpose build best you can hope for is to have major areas coverd ie dmg output and resistance to dmg this build is excelent in both.

"ever been against sympathetic visage or soothing images?"

How long can you spam them for? hounestly there a good shut down for a while but i rarely come across them as people usualy dont do anti warior builds, espetialy in guidl battles.

one last point this isnt an iway build although i often mod it so it is but that isnt my intention so sympathetic visage is almost a waste for one or two wariors.

With regards to the knights armour you only need 1 piece and you will recieve the damage reduction in all places.

I have glad on all locations except boot which are knights which give me a little extra energy and the bonus of the damage reduction. It can make the difference between an extra troll unugment and defy pain usagae.

u not using the main dmg of an axe wich is the deep wound. swift chop may give a deep wound but that is if the block the atk.

U havent seen wat i seen. Like for 1 day everyone went anti warrior. in group i fought i saw like 1 trap ranger (blind cripple) a mesmer with sooting and sympathetic 1 life bond monk 1 HH monk so the HH monk with aegis just did that on the life bond monk and i couldnt do anything. also like i was hitting them. So ppl do go anti warrior u just lucky u havent seen them. If u mod the rambo build with some wild in it i think it would be much better. and for axe i think they have their own line of good skills. evicerate being the first for excellent dmg and a deep wound. battle rage to me is more of a swd elite cause swd have 1 elite and i think it practically suxs compared to cyclone axe.
u will spam ur energy skills if u in the middle of death.

This pumps out more dmg than a deepwond attack or eviserate.

50% reduction in adrn + 33% attack speed and your spaming every adrn skill you have, Battle rage works better by itself than any other attack speedboost and for no energy. Do the maths eviserate does not recharge that fast so how many times do you think you will use it.

It does the exact amount of dmg as Executioners strike without the deepwound, even with frenzy (which you will end up spaming instead of attack skills) or any other 33% attack skill u may use. They are not as good as this build i have tried them all and they all drain your energy and have significant weaknesses. I have seen anti warior builds they dont work when your team only has 2 wariors and the rest of your team just ignores the build altogether.

this is not an IWAY build.

Thanks for the advice on knights armor will change the build.

No collector gives strength based shields if I'm not mistaken, I'm guessing you could use victos or just a rare shield.

Yet there is a Collector in Saint Anjeka'Shrine (Factions) who gives Str. based / Stance shields.
