PvE Unholy Knight W/N

Use:For general PvE playing but can be used in other things too.

Atributes:
Swordmanship: 10+1+1
Death Magic: 10
Tactics: 9 +1
Strenght: Rest of the points

Gear: Full Gladiator 15k(not necessary with 15k style) Except for boots that are ascalon, duelist helmet.

Mods: Not really any special but don't choose zealus or vampiric. But bonuses while in stance on shield and cruel on sword would be good.

Skills
For those that dont know what the skills do, go in tothis page.

1. Sever artery
2. Virulence {E}
3. Gash
4. Galrath slash/Final thrust
5. Defensive stance
6. Healing signet
7. Plague Touch
8. Rez signet

Tactics: When you enter the combat you first start to hit normal with your sword. When you have enough adrenaline to use sever artery you use it as fast as you can. The DIRECTLY after that use virulence and viola you have 10 degeneration on the foe you attacked. It took you about 5-7 hits (5-7 seconds) and 5 energy to do this. Then just continue with gash and galrath slah and as fast as virulence recharges the target should be dead and start over on another foe again.
If you are under heavy fire and has to much aggro use defensive stance and then healing signet. As fast as you get ANY conditions on you fast use plauge touch to transfer them to a foe then use virulence.

If you really need to critize, please then have constructive critizism.

In PvE, you'd want to have things like Watch Yourself!! [solo or in a team] and Shield Stance

I don't like Defensive stances conditions.

Dolyak Signet can REALLY tank ya if you're strength is high enough...

Think more defensively in PvE but the build is good for now.

Why did you post it if you didn't particularly want a critique?

2. Virulence {E}
--- Disease is contagious and you need to have a good control when you use this skill. Warriors have close proximity with the target foes, and most likely you will get infected by the disease (degen) as well. Virulence works the best with Caster/Ranger.

What if I have control?

he said this is pve

disease will only jump back to him if his foe is human. The only humans I've fought exist as white mantle and the like, most every thing else in the game is non-human...

Except, constructive criticism can be negative if it gives a reason. Non constructive criticism is, as an example, "dude, j00r bild sux0rz!!1!". Just an FYI.

Bloodied Blade · Apr 01, 2006, 07:46 PM // 19:46

The build is definitely not for pvp...you would give yourself disease...

Anyway, you could probably remove the Galrath Slash, this looks like the pvp Paladin build with Virulence and healing signet...

As a W/N, I actually prefer Grenth's Balance, which is much handier imo against almost anything (sword tends to have slowest pve dps, but is awesome in pvp)... Mainly because I can be fighting several things at once and spike the one thing still surviving once I get low on hp.

Is it a solo PVE build? If so, why bring rez signet? If it is not a solo build, then your teammates may get infected including yourself, note many monsters have plague touch/sending or similar skill too.

I'll be 25 in 8 days... Uh, does age matter in terms of gaming population?

kanuks · Apr 02, 2006, 09:30 PM // 21:30

Ok i tried the Virulence combo. I used the desperation blow/dolyak signet/virulence/sever artery combo. I used healing sig, watch yourself too. I tried it on different monsters and all i can say is WOW. This combo kicks so some sweet asses. U start the battle with dolyak signet, then desperation blow followed by virulence and then sever artery. God damn it kills anything so quick its hard to believe! Seriously everyone try this out! Thats the highest single target damage combo i have ever tried, and i tried about everything!

GooD KaRmA · Apr 03, 2006, 02:08 AM // 02:08

1. Sever Artery
2. Virulence
3. Watch Yourself
4. Gash
5. Bonneti's
6. Healing signet
7. Final Thrust
8. Distracting Blow

Try those skills in that order. In PVE I never take a rez signet since Warriors often die first and if all else fails you die and get ressurected. I'd like to take an interrupt personnaly for monks and casters. As far as whoever said disease works better for casters you're crazy, casters are often spread out and in PVE if done right warriors go right in first and get all the enemy on them. I'm just glad to see somebody using virulence, it's an awesome skill even most necros don't understand. I don't like the recast on the other defensive stances, bonneti's is good every 8 hits and it's best if you use ur healing signet on the way out for an extra boost. Watch yourself can be swapped out for shields up depending on where you're going for a party favor against rangers.

Thank you.

I'll try this out. I think that maybe adding flurry would help though. That would drop down the number of swings needed to use the Sever Artery/Virulence combo.

kanuks · Apr 04, 2006, 12:08 AM // 00:08

I prefer using desperation blow, u need one strike and then u can cast virulence, then on the fourth strike u add sever artery.

Sarah Arano · Apr 04, 2006, 09:27 AM // 09:27

This would be better, since you are trying to make build focused around condition spamming instead of direct dmg.

"To the Limit!"
Sever Artery
Virulence
"Watch Yourself!"
Riposte
Necrotic Traversal
Plague Touch
Healing Signet / Res Sig

Attributes :
Death 10
Sword 11+1
Tactics 10+1+3
Strength 1+1

Run into a mob and hit
"To the Limit!" (6 strikes of adren, depending on number of enemies) >
Sever Artery (constantly switch targets) >
Virulence >
"Watch Yourself!" (spam) >
Riposte (spam) >
Necrotic Traversal (whenever a target dies)

This will keep a number of ur enemies at 8 pips of degen after ur first use of Necrotic Traversal (Poison + Disease), keep switching targets to bleed for 10 pips of degen on each of them. Spam "Watch Yourself!" for party support and Riposte (76 dmg) to reduce some damage taken and speed up the body counts.

Spam "To the Limit!" to instantly recharge adren skills. With 6 or more enemies close to you, one use will enable you to use Sever Artery, "Watch Yourself!" and Riposte without swinging your sword even once.

Necrotic Traversal will keep poison on all nearby foes so you don't need to wait to bleed something to use Virulence.

Enjoy.

There's an idea instead of using sever artery for your first blood equip deadly riposte, there is your bleeding on their first hit and you get a skill freed up for another stance. I'm not sure where you're going but I don't see a lot of stances built into anybody elses set up. The idea I would want would be to bleed/virulence them and then maintain health while they died. Plus if they have troll ungent or healing signet I don't see a way to interrupt it. You could easily swap out gash for another stance or life steal from a corpse.

1. Deadly Riposte
2. Virulence
3. Sever Artery
4. Gash
5. Bonnettis
6. Healing signet
7. Final Thrust
8. Distracting Blow

Yukito Kunisaki · Apr 04, 2006, 03:30 PM // 15:30

In all honesty, if you're going to fight using conditions, it's probably better to use Victory is Mine! {E} vs. Virulence...

Vs. Mobs, use Shadow of Fear + Enfeebling Blood and when you ViM!, hey, you're at full hp if you're tactics is hot...

Old pve build of mine was a condition based Mark of Pain build that used that combo very effectively, now enemies run and it ruins me...
