Curse

Stuart444 · Apr 13, 2008, 10:00 PM // 22:00

Ok, I am at the mission, thirsty rivers so i may not have access to every single warriors skill okay >_> keep that in mind although if I have access to a skill that is good, then do let me know (as in if I have passed an area where i can get the skill)

W/E

Strengh - 8
Swordsmanship - 13 (one of my armor put it up by 1)
tactics - 9

[skill]Seeking blade[/skill][skill]Sever artery[/skill][skill]Gash[/skill][skill]Sun and Moon Slash[/skill][skill]Final Thrust[/skill][skill]Warrior's Endurance[/skill][skill]Endure Pain[/skill][skill]"For Great Justice!"[/skill]

Now, I probably wouldn't remove endure pain since that has saved me ALOT of times in the past but how is my build anyway?

(btw I didn't know we had a [skill] tag here....I like it >_> )

With the elite you are using you could go for more energy based skills.

But remember, the most important thing about a build is the pleasure you re taking in playing it.

true I guess

the main reason I have alot of andrenolin (sp?) based skills is because I found they work well in succession with each other

adrenaline

and he means your elite is completely contradictive to your build. you have lots of adrenal based skills, warriors endurance is for energy intensive builds. get what i mean?

Your build is alright for your current position in the game, but Warrior's Endurance isn't really all that great, so once you find something better you'll probably do good to replace it.

Other than that, you're really missing an IAS (incresed attack speed) stance. If you're scared of Frenzy (read: if you're scared of PuG/Henchie Monks), you should check out Flail.

Stuart444 · Apr 13, 2008, 10:38 PM // 22:38

I'll look into flair

and tbh, Warriors indurance is only there because I JUST capture it before I failed the thirsty rivers mission so I may be looking to replace it...perhaps with flail if I can find where to get it at this point in the game

edit: look like I'll have to settle for frenzy because flail is TOO far in nightfall for me to get it

just get 1k balth faction in random areanas and use it to buy flail.
then get it from the trainer in kamadan.

If i recall correctly half the things in the desert dont bleed, so you might want to swap sever & gash for another damage adren skill, otherwise a good build is a build that pleases you

I might consider doing that until I get to the far shiverpeaks (they haven't done much in the desert now that I think about it >_< )

sword damage tends to have lower damage per second as compared to axe, but your axe wont be good enough unitl you cap eviscerate, and thats not possible till you hit the fire islands i believe... (you can also just buy warrior tomes to unlock that stuff...)

no need for 5, let alone 4 attack skills... id stick to sever, gash, and pick between sun and moon and final thrust.

for great justice is ok, usually goes good with dragons slash and 15 swordsmanship (10 adren repeating hit every time using dragon under for great justice) <---warrior tome for that

sprint or rush just as a typical stance cancel ---> take frenzy, its one of the best skills in the game and has no down sides to it (you take double damage... but use it when you arent takin gsigniifcant amounts of damage...duh!)

and if you are worried about getting saved...and you NEED tactics...take some sort of stance like disciplined stance or something

final thurst is deffinetly not being replaced, its probably my most powerful single attack, does from 80 - over 100 damage

I guess I'll use frenzy, might help me outlast the priests when they heal themselves in the thirsty river mission

Sha Noran · Apr 14, 2008, 12:12 AM // 00:12

If you use Frenzy, also take the skill Rush (found under Strength) as a "cancel stance" to end Frenzy if you start to be the focus of attack.

Also, make sure your Monks know what Prot Spirit is.... if you can't find people who like it, bring Lina. You'll have more fun that way. ;-)

xPIMPx · Apr 14, 2008, 12:13 AM // 00:13

swap your elite for something useful. If endure pain has saved you LOTS of
times then I suggest you change your team build.

would sprint work as a good cancel out to frenzy since I don't have rush?

yes, but sprit has a recharge time, and rush recharge is based on adrenaline gained (4)

and i do believe rush is available at any of the skills ppl you have seen thus far

Negative, it's pretty far into the game, copperhammer mines to be exact.
Make sure to nab it when you get that far.
If you need help getting through the desert or some of the southern shiverpeaks, feel free to PM me in game if you see me on.

Jam Jar · Apr 14, 2008, 01:22 AM // 01:22

Consider taking the elite and endure pain out for Frenzy or Flail and Rush or Sprint. This way you can use your adrenaline skills a lot more.

But run with a monk or other healer since you don't have any self heals.

Crom The Pale · Apr 14, 2008, 03:25 AM // 03:25

[savage slash] might help you out vs the monks in the desert.

Also you have no tactic skills so you should adjust your attributes to maximize your Swordsmanship(high as it can go with minor run on a +1 attribute helmet) and Strength. If you are using a tactics shield you can pick up some nice STR shields very cheaply and one or 2 collectors in the desert might have one(can't recall which collectors have str vs tactics off top of my head).

Make sure you pick up the 15 attribute quest that is in the desert, it starts out of Destiny's Gorge.

I got the 15 attribute points quest, one thing I do is I ALWAYS try to do all the quests around before the missions

didn't know savage slash was that useful *just took a closer look at the skill* I might just have to use that

Miska Bow · Apr 14, 2008, 10:32 AM // 10:32

As for your elite, there only 1 other you can cap in the desert, [gladiator's defense]

Unless you unlock it from PvP and an elite tome, you'll have to wait till you re in the southern Shiverpeak to cap someting better.
