Hi all

I do a lot of PvP and am considering a slightly modified build of the W/Mo I have been using. I know there is no right or wrong answer to this, but I just wanted to get your opinions cause Im not sure whether I want to go the maximum damage in shortest time route, or the survive longer route (which of course leads to more damage being done over a longer period of time).

My current build is:

Healing Prayers 9
Smiting Prayers 8
Strenth 10 (minor strength rune)
Axe Mastery 12 (minor axe mastery rune)

Skills:

Strength of Honor
Berserker Stance
Disrupting chop
Purge conditions
Executioners strike
Penetrating blow
Primal rage
Cyclone axe

All this together with a Victo's battle axe (20/20) does a fair amount of damage, but I am considering replacing primal rage with healing hands, replacing another skill with healing hands and finally another one with bonetti's defense. Any opinions or suggestions are welcome

There's no reason for you to have any points in Healing Prayers..you don't use any skills from that line. Also, 12 points in weapon mastery simply doesn't cut it in PvP-stick in a Superior Axe Rune and you're gettin there. Berserker's stance is completely inferior to Frenzy,though if you don't feel comfortable with it, put in Tiger's Stance instead-it's still a better alternative. Swap out Cyclone Axe for Ressurrection Signet; it's uses are far too limited. And lastly, axe builds tend to be underwhleming without Eviscerate, but if you can make this one work, fire away.

eh

it's a weird build imo.

1. get res sig in there (don't get rebirth or other things, you need to res fast in pvp)
2. I personally prefer disrupting blow or whatever it is called. That no-attribute interrupt. It's faster than the axe disrupting chop... that's why I like it.
3. If you're not using healing skills, don't get healing prayers O.o
4. In fact, don't use the /mo secondary at all!
5. Who exactly is hitting you in pvp anyway? O.o
6. Does cyclone hit a lot of people? How often does the chance for a good cyclone hit present itself?
7. You sound like someone has sold you a victos axe like this: "WTS Victo's axe, best axe in game!" You're talking about dps a lot so vampiric may be a better choice for you.

Is this for gvg, ra, ta, ha, ab?
What are the purposes of this build?

I don't get it =X

Like people said above, get rid of all attribute point in healing prayer if you don't use them. for an axe build the first 3 thing I take are

1) frenzy or somekind of IAS
2) Eviserate
3) executioner

with 16 in axe mastery.

then the rest can be more flexible for me. Although I would suggest just the standard shock/warrior if you are inexperienced.

Solberg is wise. But don't forget to also take Sprint or Rush.
