Well, this is my first character so I'm taking him through the game. What do you guys who have done this mission multiple times expect from a Warrior in your party? What are good builds and such for a Warrior in this mission?
(The only reason I'm asking is because I've heard this is the hardest mission in the game, and that some badly made characters can ruin the mission for everyone.)

Don't hold the torch, please don't become one of those warriors.

Same role as anywhere else; take aggro, deal what damage you can before the AoEs/Spiteful/Minions do the work for you.

if you are using my favorite strategy, everyone crowds in the middle with a puller at each gate, the Warrior is often a Puller only rivaled by the Trapping/Dodge Ranger.

I would recommend Stance Tank for that or if you are going for some obscure bodyguard thing and you have bonders maybe just grab your axe and Slash every living thing into submission without regard for life or limb... (I don't know about this one)

Well what kind of build would you say? Normally I never do anything in groups... just get my friend and grab henches, but she doesn't like this mission :P.

Sorry I'm asking so many questions, but I'm a relative n00b at this game :P.

The build itself is not as important as team work for these last 4 missions. Bring an interrupt for the bosses. I don't think enchantments get stripped so you could run a couple as a wa/mo and use adrenaline and signets to function. Again, a good team will win rather than an individual with a good build.

OH MY WORD who cares if u hold the torch! is the EASIEST mission ever the war holds the torch and monks heal him while others own, i suggerst henchman cause real people always get in fights asnd never listen, that or guilies/friends. u could prolly do this misison with 3 poeple!

I'd like to see 3 people reach the fort and keeping the king alive.

Personally i'd say the warrior is suppose to dish out damage, soak up some and if they have any sense, bring somet that can either interrupt or knockdown. Just aslong as they dont assume they can kill everything alone. Warriors (and Rangers too i've noticed) seem to think they can solo Mursaat eles/necros and only end up running in terror when they're health dissapears.

For luring i use my mes, great fun watching jade armours float upto you and suddenly there health is cut in half by Ineptitude and Clumsiness.

Well, I did it with henches and got quite far actually >_>. I was using a random troll killing build too XD. I guess I'll just have to try again when I can get some of my guild wanting to do this mission.

I also kind of need a build if anyone will be kind. I know it's a team effort, but I kind of need a decent tanking build I guess...

lol i forgot about getting there, but no seriously on my warrior i did it with hench and one friend, just held torch and it was cake, and geting there is the easiet part anyways so you shoudlnt complain about that, o and the build dude just max out ur tactics put the rest in sword/axe and strgth, bring like glads shiled stance maybe the riposts if u have sword and pthen pretty much w/e you want prolly attack skills for on the way hench will heal u hopefuly shoudlnt worry about self heal posibly a rez signet just incase or a regular rez

Meh, when I get some friends who aren't idiots on, I'll just bring a standard stance tank most likely and do this Torch trick (no idea what this means, as I've only tried it once like 5 minutes ago, and I don't think I even got to the part talking about torches >__>).

conches · Mar 24, 2006, 01:08 AM // 01:08

lol its simple alright so after tyou get to the fort and kill that boss and watch cinematic ull get the bonus option, now if u do it or not is up to you but the troch will spawn down the wall to your left assuming your facing the kings perch, grab that torch and run back to the middle by the king stand directly between those two stairwells and just let them come
