I've found Rending Touch useful in Shiverpeaks vanquishing for the Dolyak Riders, exclusively for [skill=text]Mark of Protection[/skill]. It's a uesful utility skill in PvE Hard mode.

It's been a while, but I remember using it extensively on a dervish to strip the ever-present aegis from spike targets and shield of regeneration from runners. I see no reason why it wouldn't fit on a warrior as well.

It is used on warriors occasionally, but not too terribly often because of the fact that aegis has a longer recharge. prot spirit, guardian, spirit bond, all do not with are used far more frequently than aegis is.

Care for a bonus round?

/agree

But this is PvE and the enemy ai will probably reapply the enchant before you team can spike... come to think of it... I've never seen any PvE area needing a coordinated spike (with vent and all)

but yea... theres nothing wrong with enchant removal on a warrior...

BECAUSE: honestly yichi you are right that most prot has faster recharge then enchant removal skills but but honestly when you are enchants... you are doing it to get rid of something that really makes that target invulnerable to caster or the rest of your party (ie Spell breaker, shadow form, vow of silence, etc.) in those areas, a frontliner with a rend touch can be extremely useful. EDIT - my bad thought it was touch skill.. yea yea..

I dunno why you are bringing PvP situations in a PvE Warrior thread BUT whatever floats your boat.

and to answer the OP's original thread... most warrior builds with blood/death are not that great... If you really want... you CAN use Grenth's Balance warrior to farm Rotscale or for some RA foolaround... but i dun think death/blood skills are that great of a combo with an axe warrior.

for occasional spot enchants such as Mark of Protection or otherwise, I agree it can be very effective. I did say (and this requires people to actualyl know what I'm responding to which usually means read the god damned thread) that spamming an enchant removal, as was suggested by the person that i quoted and replied too (again this requires reading), just to sit there while mindlessly c-spacing on a monk is a bad idea.

[skill=text]Rending Touch[/skill] is still a spell, so it can't remove any of those enchantments.

That's really all I was saying. Spot removals are useful if you aren't stripping stuff like RoF and guardian with them. Yes, I realize you were responding to someone saying enchant strips were a great way for a warrior to mindlessly beat on a monk, my point is that they aren't entirely useless.

And again, I agree with you, but I never once said that they were useless whereas you're trying to say I did. I said that they weren't as effective against most prots out there due to them having a much shorter recharge and can be re-applied far more easily than rending touch can take off.

Because it was already brought up previously by a completely different person and I responded as to why it was generally a bad idea.

Hopefully i'm not going too off topic here. I think if you're gonna do W/N you might want to check out the old GB builds or try Spitful Spirit on your warrior. Now I know i'll get flamed for even saying this stuff, because "leet" people love to say this is stupid and doesn't belong on a warrior at all. There are some uses for it such as AB at times, and troll farming outside Droks when done correctly. It's not everyone's first choice for a Warrior to have a necro elite because it makes very little sense..unless you use it in the right setting and with the right use in mind. just my opinion on an idea for you to think about.

Div · Feb 28, 2008, 12:05 AM // 00:05

This is like, getting too far off topic. Closed for now. If the OP needs more help with builds, feel free to post a new thread.
