Elites in Action
In pve sometimes those elites are hard to come by for the casual player. So here is a list of builds using each elite as the basis for the build... some of them are taken straight from wiki...while others have been based around general pve/pvp. for pvp usage you can make some minor changes to skills to get an effective build...skills like the increased speed and ias skills can be swapped for you preference.... and in certain areas/situations (RA/TA/GVG and some pve) you may want to add a res skill. Here are some things to consider:
**these builds were made with three things in mind: 1. warriors were made to damage (not too many 'tank' builds) 2. GW is a team based game (many of these builds are for a well balanced team) 3. Your a primary warrior for a reason (the majority of skills comes from the warriors skill lists) **non weapon elites may have flexibility in weapon choice and attack skills...for instance, [card]sever artery[/card] [card]gash[/card] [card]final thrust[/card] can be substituted for [card]dismember[/card] [card]agonizing chop[/card] [card]executioner's strike[/card] or [card]hammer bash[/card] [card]crushing blow[/card] [card]irresistible blow[/card] (these are the combos I tend to favour but you can usually put any attack skills where you see these) **Increased attack/running speed skills are largely a matter of preference/situation. for instance while in many forms of pvp frenzy may be a good choice, but i would not recommend it for AB/RA because you depend somewhat on a good healer when using this skill. **secondary variations will depend on which secondary class you've chosen...usually unlinked skills work the best. here are some popular ones /m [card]mending touch[/card] /n [card]plague touch[/card] /a [card]dash[/card] [card]signet of malice[/card] [card]shadow walk[/card] /e [card]shock[/card] ** some require a little investment /d [card]signet of pious light[/card] [card]vital boon[/card] and of course ETC..... enjoy! ~~~~~NO ATTRIBUTE ELITES~~~~~~~~ Yaa Paladin [card]"you're all alone!"[/card] [card]enraging charge[/card] [card]flail[/card] [card]sever artery[/card] [card]gash[/card] [card]final thrust[/card] [card]mending touch[/card] [card]healing signet[/card] well rounded condition spammer. Able to fair decently on his own here is wiki version that includes axe variant and uses /a for gvg use http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Build:W/A_Lone_Ganksman Caster's Bane [card]skull crack[/card] [card]dismember[/card] [card]agonizing chop[/card] [card]executioner's strike[/card] [card]disrupting chop[/card] [card]enraging charge[/card] [card]flail[/card] [card]healing signet[/card] Good against casters. you may want to switch out some skills depending on what area your in. Lets go Flail a Kiter [card]"coward!"[/card] [card]bull's strike[/card] [card]crushing blow[/card] [card]staggering blow[/card] [card]heavy blow[/card] [card]frenzy[/card] [card]dash[/card] [card]lion's comfort[/card] mostly for pvp use...make sure you have a good healer on your team. ~~~~~STRENGTH ELITES~~~~~~~ raging executioner [card]enraging charge[/card] [card]battle rage[/card] [card]dismember[/card] [card]executioner's strike[/card] [card]penetrating chop[/card] [card]agonizing chop[/card] [card]plague touch[/card] [card]healing signet[/card] BR is a great way to keep spamming high damage adren skills which is very effective in most pve. Use EC to run in initially and the rest of the time make sure BR is up Bull's charge swordsman [card]sever artery[/card] [card]gash[/card] [card]final thrust[/card] [card]bull's charge[/card] [card]frenzy[/card] [card]plague touch[/card] [card]healing signet[/card] [card]resurrection signet[/card] taken from wiki see: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Build:W...s_Charge_Sword charged berzerker [card]charging strike[/card] [card]hammer bash[/card] [card]crushing blow[/card] [card]irresistible blow[/card] [card]flail[/card] [card]signet of strength[/card] [card]healing signet[/card] [card]lion's comfort[/card] 15 hammer 11 tactics 11 strength use lions in battle and HS between skirmishes for heals... and keep spammin CS Defiant tank [card]defy pain[/card] [card]endure pain[/card] [card]dolyak signet[/card] [card]riposte[/card] [card]deadly riposte[/card] [card]sever artery[/card] [card]gash[/card] [card]healing signet[/card] another poopy tank build...again...this is for when you need some cash and have to grind low level areas...or when you are doing the traditional 'tank' tactics...while a nuker nukes...I am open to suggestions on this one  friend of the Dwarves [card]enraging charge[/card] [card]dwarven battle stance[/card] [card]mokele smash[/card][card]staggering blow[/card] [card]auspicious blow[/card] [card]fierce blow[/card] [card]lion's comfort[/card] [card]rebirth[/card] apparently dwarves dont like casters  no need for tactics in this build.16 hammer 13 strength Flourishing slasher [card]Jaizhenju Strike[/card] [card]pure strike[/card] [card]griffon's sweep[/card] [card]leviathan's sweep[/card] [card]flourish[/card] [card]burst of aggression[/card] [card]rush[/card] [card]resurrection signet[/card] a skilled swordsman can chain high damage unblockable attacks and do plenty of dps with this build...you can easily use different weapons with this elite..just switch out the sword elites for power attack and such. this is best paired with an axe warrior to get the deep woundage.If you are looking to use another weapon from another class (scythe, spear, daggers) this elite can make that possible...however it is not highly recommended.

Hard to improve on such a tried and true build...minor changes will make it effective for pve use. I would not take frenzy unless you trust your monk btw. (or unless you are a pretty decent warrior) there are many variations to this build... but most are minor ias/irs changes... bull's strike is commonly taken on pvp builds see also: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Build:W/E_Shock_Axe Cleaver [card]enraging charge[/card] [card]flail[/card] [card]cleave[/card] [card]dismember[/card] [card]agonizing chop[/card] [card]"for great justice!"[/card] [card]plague touch[/card] [card]healing signet[/card] if you are not going for the eviscerate spike damage...and you want consistant dps...this is the way to go...especially effective in pve areas...with FGJ up you can spam cleave every other hit!

I applaud your effort Clawofcrimson.
 However, I think you should stop. Your thread makes it seem like these are the "best" build for the "casual" player. This would deter others from truly experimenting with the elites and finding new and interesting combinations. You said they can tweak these build that have been tested, but many of these players will most likely keep as is, since they are tested. This could be placed in the build thread. |

well I am bored at work
and my guildies always ask how to use their elites...so ill keep going and see what happens... I think I have given (so far) enough room for variations.I also like the challenge of coming up with builds using the not so popular elites... so consider this a buffet compliments of Claw

its a nice idea to show how to use ever elite, but most of those builds are complete shit for non AB play. there is only 1 with a rez.

no i am trying to do this between work tasks
so be patient and the rest will come.@coloneh you should read the entire post. of course you will need to adjust for different types of play. adding a rez is not a problem in most builds... I am trying for the most well rounded for pvp/pve ...so feel free to take from the buffet what you need and leave the rest. I personally feel the only place for a rez is RA/TA/GVG... with the introduction of heroes I have not seen a huge need for a rez in most pve Last edited by clawofcrimson; Mar 20, 2007 at 10:03 PM // 22:03.. |

yeah lots of these builds need help... but hopefully it will set some mending wammos in the right direction.
keep in mind that many of these builds have pvp in mind while others are clearly for pve. you can make simple changes to switch uses. I dont think it really deserves a stick, but I would like to hear any critiques/ changes from others. some were hard to come up with good builds primal rage...sigh |

try this one for backbreaker
[skill]Backbreaker[/skill] [skill]Holy Strike[/skill] [skill]Stonesoul Strike[/skill] [skill]Hammer Bash[/skill] [skill]Crushing Blow[/skill] [skill]flail[/skill] [skill]Enraging Charge[/skill] [skill]Resurrection signet[/skill] Hammer mastery - 16 Smiting - 12 Strength - the rest It has no self heal but you can fit one in if you have trouble with it. It works well in High-end PvE ~A Leprechaun~ P.S. the ViM build is awesome, just tried it in the Eternal Grove mission and i could go and solo the groups of rangers and turtles outside the base with ease.

I've been fooling around with Zergway (aka Steady War) in PvP and I must say the flexibility is astounding.
For your build I would kill Soldier Strike and replace it with a specific skill per to your weapon: Sword: [skill]Riposte[/skill] So much adrenaline being generated, might as well grief some BoA sins or wars in the process. Axe: [skill]Bull's Strike[/skill] This one I am kinda skeptical about. Axe has no skills that are astounding by itself, so I put in Bull Strike for when you got kiters annoying ya. Hammer: [skill]Hammer Bash[/skill] Sure you may lose all adrenaline, but you're gonna get it right back. Disruption ftw. |

I agree... I will change it to bulls strike for now....do you think it would work well with a scythe?
hammer damage at 16 mastery 21.83-40.2 scythe damage at 12 mastery 6-41 you would be substituting the interupts and higher range of damage fo the swathe effect Last edited by clawofcrimson; Mar 23, 2007 at 06:49 PM // 18:49.. |
