Riposte

Hundred Blades (E) or flurry : both can get adrenaline fast
Thrill of Victory
Dolyak Signet
Bonetti's when your energy gets below 5
Mending
Whatever u want (Healing signet recommended if u want to solo more than 5/6 at a time) or sprint

With mending on u won't need to heal so all u have to do is spam ripostes and HB. If u solo a group of 3 they'll drop fast cause u'll get more ripostes per griffon.

I've also farmed Sand wurms and Hydras with this build (for the hydras u'll need healing signet) and also sand giants (but that's too risky cause)

id really like to try this build but could u post ur attributes i just dont see how without spaming a stance u can stay alive with like a +3 regen how fast are you killign them?

PS u shouldnt need sprint to farm griffons

I use this

str - 13 (Rune -Superior str)
tactics - 13 (Rune Superior Tac)
sword - 12 (No rune but I am thinking of adding superior)

Skills
healing sig
endure pain
Warrior's endurance
griffin sweep
power attack
Protector's strike
deadly riposte
Riposte

Because this build uses lots of energy I use Warrior's endurance to supply the other skills with the energy needed. The regen time on most of these skills is very fast so I find I am clicking these skills like a mad man and I rarley have to wait for more energy. I am dishing out big time damage very fast. I tested this and have taken out two jades at the same time solo. I have also taken out 5 monsters (solo) before the rest of the monsters took me down.

You might say big deal and W/m can do that but, I am not a W/m I made the mistake as a noob and chose Ranger as a secondary profession. I never use my secondary skills. Sometimes I will bring Sally my pet spider with me but the point is I use all warrior skills with only my healing signet and endure pain to compensate for HP loss. My max heath is 380 ( because I use superior runes). This will give you a better Idea on how affective this build is. In a grp this build is one tough tank!

380 HP no healing skills and I can bring down more then one monster solo at the same time.

I am still working an a adr based build which can be just as affective.

conches · Mar 26, 2006, 09:18 PM // 21:18

instead of wariiors endurance why dont u use bonetties so u can leave a elite skill slot open

Isis Mordecai · Mar 26, 2006, 09:45 PM // 21:45

i use,

riposte
deadly riposte
flurry (or whatever takes my fancy)
FGJ!
WY!
Dolyak sig
Healing sig
Defy Pain {E} (its endure pain with armor bonus)

thats when im fighting mostly physical attackers, normally get 0 dmg from everyting, n if theres gonna be any degens i change n take the usual monk skills.

conches · Mar 27, 2006, 05:12 AM // 05:12

why dotn u take out defy pain and stick in glads, u have to have good tactics for ur helaing signet alreayd and it will kill enemys faster, i cant think of anything to farm wiht ripotise that requires defy pain, with dolyaks on u shoudl be fine

Spydergst1 · Mar 27, 2006, 05:12 PM // 17:12

Because with B-defense I need 8 adr before I can activate. With W-endurance I can start the battle dishing out heavy damage instead of waiting until I have enough adr and I taken some damage. Bsides I think W-Endurance builds up my enery faster then B-Defense. There are times I have used both skills though which seems to work ok but I would rather have the extra slot for a damage strike.

I love the riposte brothers. They hang with me wherever the melee monsters like to cause trouble. I love my axes but it is swords for riposte so I keep some cool swords around.

I use this W/Me build with some slight modification for griffins, ettins, trolls, tundra giants, sand wurms, hydras etc.

15-16 tactics
12-11 strength
9 sword
3 -5 Inspiriation

Desperation Blow
Riposte
Deadly riposte
fill the need - Sprint/savage slash/sever artery/gash/elemental resistance
Gladiators/Victory is Mine
Dolyacts
Physical Resistance/Watch Yourself/Elemental Resistance
Healing signet

Want to kill a couple of sand wurms fast? - use above with sever artery and Gladiators and physical resistance

Ettins? Savage slash, victory is mine, physical res - could sub in sprint for victory is mine

Hit anything with both ripostes and desperation and you have given them serious pain and often two conditions.

funny story - doing the luxon quest and most of my group died - no monk
I am on a killing spree and I look up an all the ettins are down accept the boss and one other. 3 warriors and a ranger got smashed a while ago, but our lonely ele had survived and was fighting the other ettin. I take a break from bleeding the boss and killed the ettin, so now the ele/monk begins to raise the group....
Well there was no point. I had already killed the boss so my comrades collected their goodies and left. No good drops for me at all. I decided to go down to farm the other ettins outside of that village and !bam! Got a very nice superior vigor rune. There is justice in GW afterall! LOL

RagetheKilla · Mar 28, 2006, 01:34 AM // 01:34

I have found a very effective build for Troll farming for W/Mo.

Tactics - 12+1 (rune)
Strength - 3 +2 (rune+helm)
Axe Mastery - 7+3 (rune)
Healing - 8 (To have +3 health reg from mending)
2 Points left over

Gladiator's Defense
Cyclone Axe
Bonetti's Defense
Watch Yourself
Doylak Signet
Live Vicariously
Vigorious Spirit
Mending

why use knights armor? wouldnt platemail work better? or does each piece make u recieve less damage?

If all you're fighting is warrior enemies, Gladiator's armour is the best choice without a doubt with the one piece of knights/ascalons on boots/gloves/or helmet. They do not stack as the text says when you mouse over them.

Spydergst1 · Apr 03, 2006, 06:22 AM // 06:22

He is one I have been using alot.

Attr
15 STR
15 Tact
rest on swd

Runes
Spr Abs Rune
Spr Str Rune
Spr Tact Rune
Spr Vigor
Minor Swd

Skills
Res Sig
Heal Sig
Dolyak Sig
Endure Pain
Defy Pain
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Bonetti's Defense

This build gets me over 1000 hit points. I max out str and tactics attr because that is where the skills power comes from. Since I am relying on staying in the fight longer with 1000+ HP and want max damage from the riposte's. I am not using and SWD skills so I don't beaf it up. I have hung in battles for a long time while the rest of my team was dead. This is a good stance tank IMO.

how do you ever use helaign signet w/boneties as only stance?

conches · Apr 05, 2006, 11:43 PM // 23:43

and no smart teams ever atack warriors really that ive seen not with other warriors at least so ripost is stupid for pvp imo

The Destined Guild Leader · Apr 05, 2006, 11:49 PM // 23:49

I use this build when i farm stuff.
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Live Vicariously
Balthazars Spirit
Doylak Signet
Defy Pain
Flurry
Vigorous Spirit.

Its hard for me to kill the trolls in the cave outside of droks with your build. My build actually helps me out more but they all get damaged yet i still die. Can anyone help me out here?

The best build I have used for trolls outside Droks is:
Glads, D Rip, Rip, Shield Stance, Bonnetti, Healing Breeze, Live Vic, Sprint.

You will be indestructable against any amount of trolls as long as you pay attention. You just make sure you have either Glads, Sh St or Bonn on all the time, use breeze if they start to get the better of you.

The sequence is: Glads -> Shield stance (and as many rips as you can) -> Glads again -> Bonn
By now there may be one or two left, then just play with them (i recommend Hop Scotch)

alright i never had problems...but neways u oculd possibly switch out sprint for diciplined stance if ur not getting how to keep a stanc eon at all times, u will die if one is not on agiantst a big gorup...the only problem with takign sprint out is u have to wait for a no avicra spawn, which considering u hsoudl prolly only PL here ur gonna have to do neways......if u odnt find urself presse dfor nrgy u could birng like HB or something instead of healign sig...just switch up ur stats abit so u have like maybe +7 or somehting
