Summary:
‘Main attack’ is [Jagged Strike > Mantis Sting > Jungle Strike > Flourish]. Effects are +47 dmg, bleeding for 7 secs, and cripple 11 secs. If timed right you can repeat if desired.

‘Secondary Attack’ is usually done after ‘Main Attack’. This one goes [Bulls Strike > Falling Spider > Flourish]. Effects are +43 dmg, knockdown, and poison for 14 secs. Again, if timed right you can repeat if desired.

‘Healing’ is done when (duh!) you need to heal and mabey escape. It goes [Shadow Refuge > Healing Signet].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes & Concerns:
- Don't know if this build will work out as planned (im hoping so)
- Also the skills are as shown with the modifed attributes.
- Flourish is used to recharge and regain the mana lost from the attack skills used. Therefore giving a “repeatable” attack.

it's hard to chain attacks with A , so a warrior with 10 less energy and 2 less regen , lol

LuxuryGosu · Apr 11, 2006, 12:24 AM // 00:24

thats alot of mana

Did you guys not notice Flourish?

Anyway, the problem here is that your damage output will suck. Having only 9 in your weapon attribute is a terrible idea.

At the very least, dump that Shadow Arts stuff for Sprint or something, and get your Dagger Mastery up to 12.

pinoy474 · Apr 11, 2006, 05:31 AM // 05:31

so basically it's pretty solid beside the whole "not dishin out enuf dps" ?

Undead Preacher · Apr 11, 2006, 06:10 AM // 06:10

Imo...... A/w

Mana Mana Mana... Extra Pips Of Regen!

Actually, it's tied to Strength. Which is stupid, as what Warriors are bringing along enough Energy-based attacks to make it worthwhile?

Flourish is Strength-based, actually, which explains the warrior primariness.

Whether or not that's a good idea seems debatable. I can't help but suspect that it would simply make more sense to use Critical Strikes and the extra two pips to handle energy, and get the much higher damage output of CS-buffed 16 Dagger Mastery.

Wow, I'm an idiot. I don't know what I was thinking about. Disregard my post.

I can see a dagger W/A working, but not with the build proposed here. First of all, to combo all the attack skills plus Flourish, it would take 30e, which you won't have. You might barely make it using full glads with regen figured in, but that assumes none of your attacks miss as well.

You don't have any IAS nor do you have a running skill, which means your dps isn't going to be that great and you will get kited all day long. Cripple can be easily removed and is no substitute for a real speed boost.

I'd recommend dropping Shadow Refuge and at least one attack skill and taking Sprint and Frenzy. You may want to consider Warrior's Endurance instead of Flourish as well, but Flourish might work.

First off, take a look at my stragety again. There are 2 string combos. The 'Main' is [Jagged Strike > Mantis Sting > Jungle Strike > Flourish], which would take 20 energy then recovers 15 back. The 'Secondary' is [Bulls Strike > Falling Spider > Flourish] which takes 15 energy and then recovers 10 back.

Second off,I might just take off Shadow Arts and instead put sprint, and distribute the remaining points into Strength, Tactics, Dagger Mastery. Or I might take off Tactics and put the remaining points into Strength, Shadow Arts, Dagger Mastery.

Sounds like it would work well. I really like the concept. Was thinking of doing a Flourish W/A over FPE, but didn't have time.

PrincessAki · Apr 12, 2006, 06:11 PM // 18:11

It is not a good idea to evenly distribute your attributes into 4 areas. The damage output and defense ability will be very low. I would prefer making an A/W instead.

I see. However, I think you'd probably be better off just taking skills for one attack combo, since Flourish will recharge them all and provides more benefit when you have a lot of attacks charging at once. I'd recommending formulating a 3-4 attack combo, along with Flourish, Frenzy, Sprint, plus Res Sig and/or 1-2 utility skills depending on whether you're doing 12vs12 or a different format.

You'll definitely need Strength and Dagger Mastery, but whether or not you invest in another attribute depends on the utility skills you bring, if any. If you just brought 4 attacks, Flourish, Frenzy, Sprint, and Res Sig, you could go 16 Strength, 12 Dagger. If you take a third attribute, subtract points from Strength. You definitely want 12 Dagger.

I really don't picture assasin being a secondary for warriors as a damage dealer.
