Cool FoW Helm!

I will be getting a full set of FoW before July....so i tell myself and i will be getting the helm first. I was wondering......as a PvE, general and farming, what would be the better helm, tatics? or strength.

Just get the inscriptable one (yes they have it since Nightfall) so you can switch back and forth

You can't change the attribute +1 on head pieces.

Everyone will eventually start to say it depends on your build/strategy, so i won't bore you with that...seeing that almost all strength skills hardly increase at all from 1 attribute rank, and that 1% of armor penetration is hilariously useless, I'd go with the tactics helm. Plenty of great skills that help with farming and general PvE are in there.

-btw grats on getting the helm in the first place

Neither helm. A weapon mastery helm for the weapon you use most often is a far better choice.





If I really had to say one though... Tactics. I could use it for running or whatever.
Strength spends all day long sucking testes.

EDIT - Gah, I'm being unpleasant again. My bad. Yeah, grats on the helm dude.

Use a standard helm IMO, hide it and just buy the rest of the FoW. It makes you look like some six year old pretending to be a dinosaur IMO.

Not to mention strength and tactics helms are just stupid. Your job is to hit stuff, use one that helps that.

I'd get one for Strength PvE. PvP I'd get a tactics. A Steady Stance war is a good build for PvP which require tactics.

For PvE I run Warrior's Endurance with spammable attacks like Power Attack for some damage...

i have a tactics FoW helm...i always run 15 weapon mastery because the difference in damage between 15 and 16 is extremley small. if really had the 200k or so to spend per helm though, i would get an axe, sword and hammer one too....i change between weapons alot so i dont get bored =D
