Please I need some feedback on A swordsman W/E build.

Strength 12
Swordmanship 13
Tactics 7
Fire 8

Skills:
Hundred Blades -E
Desperation Blow
Final Thrust
Pure Strike
Tenai's Heat(26 Fdmg Per sec for 5 secs)
Inferno(86 Fdmg)
Glyph of lesser energy(with 5 energy you can do both fire spells for free)
Healing Signet

The Character has 565 health 25 energy

Thanks in advance...

Is this for PvE or PvP?

Anyway I'd ditch the ele-crap. If you want to cast, roll an ele. Also you should consider a rez.
Desperation Blow without a way to counter the KD? eww
Put Swordmanship to 16, that way you'll do much more dmg than using Inferno & Tenai's Heat.

If you need a nice Warrior Build, just look around here (*cough* Dragon Slash >>> 100 Blades

)

It's a bad build.

Your faults are - you will do more damage with Warrior attack skills than with ele skills. So drop all the fire magic crap.

You have no rez. BRING A REZ.

Hundred Blades is one of the worste elites in the game. Chosse a much more viable sword elite like Dragon Slash

Your attributes are bad. Max out your weapon mastery, raise tactics up to 11 for your heal sig and str to 9. You could take lions comfort if needed so you could have higher strength.

If you're doing PVE, and taking heros/henches, there are a few ideas I can give you; I dont think anyone would like your build for PVP...

Arkantos · Feb 10, 2007, 10:28 PM // 22:28

This build is...well, horrible.

Thomas.knbk · Feb 10, 2007, 10:50 PM // 22:50

Sucks.
Take as a general rule that you don't use spells from your secondary on a warrior. There are a few exeptions to this (namely [skill]shock[/skill] and [skill]mending touch[/skill], or maybe [skill]plague touch[/skill]), but certainly not [skill]searing heat[/skill] and [skill]Inferno[/skill]
Why is your strength so high? Strength's passive effect is the worst in the game. It seriously does nothing. Don't take high strength unless you have strength skills that need it. You don't, so those points are better invested in tactics for a stronger [skill]Healing Signet[/skill]
[skill]Desperation Blow[/skill] sucks if you don't use [skill]Steady Stance[/skill] or [skill]Balanced Stance[/skill], and [skill]Hundred Blades[/skill] sucks no matter what. Just look at [skill]sun and moon slash[/skill] and you know [skill]dragon slash[/skill] is a better elite.

Firstly, I'd like to point out that Hundred Blades was never intended to be an elite skill. It was just made that way so it couldn't be used with [card]Illusionary Weaponry[/card].

Secondly, when making a build for general PvE, keep in mind the following;

- Warriors are DPS machines 99% of the time
- Minimum of 4 attacks, including an elite. IMO if you're a sword Warrior and you aren't running Dragon Slash (keep in mind I'm talking about general PvE), then you need to rethink things
- Only use 1-2 secondary skills, but make sure they are utility skills. Damage skills are not worth it. Useful utility skills include Mending Touch and Plague Touch
- Swordsmanship should be at 16

Well, that's about it, that I can think of anyway.

A Leprechaun · Feb 11, 2007, 10:07 AM // 10:07

I hardly ever run dragon slash, hundred blades FTW!
If the build works , go with it. As long as its fun use it!
I myself have mucked around with fire storm on my warrior for PvE, a monk cant heal if hes running out of a fire storm.

Thats my views.

raven evo · Feb 11, 2007, 08:42 PM // 20:42

i use a w/e sometimes and a build im playing with right now is
ATT:
Water magic 10
Strenght 8
Axe mastery 14
Tactics 12

SKILLS
Conjure frost
Amour of mist
Eviscerate
Executioners strick
Soliders strick
Flail
Healing sig
Res sig/cap sig

Im not saying its a awsome build or even that origanal but its ok and does high dmg if u want a stance or another amour buff that isnt a enchantment swap soliders strick out for it.all u need is a axe with cold dmg and your away.

I usually never post any builds on these forums from fear of the flaming:/ anywayplz dont flame but if any1 has anything constructive to add then plz do...and yeah im aware i use 2 sup runes in PvE

Your better off making an earth build... If people asked for your skill bar in 5 man fow in euro servers... You'd be kicked...

raven evo · Feb 12, 2007, 06:03 AM // 06:03

Yeah you would

5 man FoW id go pure warrior tank

I don't recall the OP saying this build is used for 5 man FoW runs.

Illusionary Weaponry + Hundred Blades is not a scary prospect. Is that really the reason ?

Flashy · Feb 12, 2007, 09:37 PM // 21:37

Hundred Blades is an great elite... just combine it with the right skills...

Splinter Weapon? OMG U hit target twice + Adjacent target twice + adjacent targets take twice Splinter Weapon(50 dmg each splinter hit)... and guess what!!! since u hit Adjacent foe the primary target also takes twice Splinter Weapon... u know what happens if you hit 3 targets at the same time

that 200 damage Splinter weapon + about ±50 each sword hit...

Something like that

but you need to have a splinter weapon rit with you ^^ and need to let players ball up (pretty easy in AB on Warrior shrine)

It really depends and I hate people that says: this elite sucks this 1 is better... Skills arn't elites for nothing you know

A Leprechaun · Feb 13, 2007, 04:56 PM // 16:56

HB is also amazing for adrenaline gain, 3 foes infront of you *whack* 6 adrenaline straight away no **10 adrenaline!** build up by which time all the enemies are dead.

~A Leprechaun~

Also if hundred blades is not a true elite why did they make it *the* end skill to cap in prophecies?

Hundred blades became a elite during beta testing because of all the whiners who complained that sword didnt have any elites. Cyclone axe isnt elite and its a compareable skill.

also strength isnt completely worthless, i usually run at least 9 str but prefer 10.

I agree with splatter if u want to play with fire then Starburst is a nice elite, maybe toss in conjure flame for extra dps and your good to go.

jimmyboveto · Feb 16, 2007, 09:39 PM // 21:39

ugh... build really isn't that great, sry. If you want a nice warrior sword build, do not use hundred blades. Period. Some much better skills are quivering blade+plage sending, or sun and moon slash+dragon slash. Also, it is great to have a skill that increases the rate at which you attack while playing a warrior, such as flail. Anyways, these are just my thoughts, and you should reall do whatever you think works best for you.

Katari · Feb 16, 2007, 10:50 PM // 22:50

12 sword mastery with no IAS and a +5e sword ≠ High damage output. Oh, and RA wins really mean nothing.

Katari · Feb 17, 2007, 12:35 AM // 00:35

Yeah, I read that you claimed you were doing good damage with 12 sword mastery, a sword with no damage mod, and no IAS stance. I also doubt you'd have mentioned using it in RA if you didn't feel it was effective there.
