This gave me a good laugh. Just because you don't see people on the internet doesn't mean everyone's nice. If you think all sites have friendly communities, then you need a reality check. The real world doesn't work this way.

That's right.

lol most sites dont have nice communities, so wherever you got the idea i feel that way, i'll never know. the reality check is that its people like you who ruin the integrity of an entire websites social populus. the real world is full of hate and disgusting people, thats why associating with a cess pool of the very same terrible people is nothing but social, and even self downfall.

to break it down so people like Shadowfox could understand, tough love is to give constructive critisism and care for someone you have true feelings for, for their well-being. you guys are simply bashing someone, flaming, trolling, and then trying to justify it and look cool by high-fiving each other like some football jocks, just to boost the e-peen. get real kid, no one likes a flamer.


all and all, the OP probably learned little to nothing about something that was so easy to just simply explain, and thats the major reason why this community is an epic failure.

This is a pvp build and the fact of the matter is, this build probably DOES work in AB... but what doesn't? AB is the lowest and most BRAIN DEAD form of pvp of the bunch closely followed by Hero Battles.

At the moment, blocking is the current meta which means that D-slash is out... OUT!!!

why you may ask...

It takes 10 adrenaline to charge up and once you finally have enough to use it "blocked". and your entire chain is gone.

Currently you try to counter this with "For Great Justice!", Enduring Harmony, and Soldier's Strike. This fails because these skills are bad compared to the standard Shock Axe, Crip Slash, or Earth Shaker bars. You lose your cancel stance, deep wounding skill, and interrupt/knock down skill that warrior bars require to stay competitive in the current meta. There is a reason why warriors are using bull's strike, shock, Eviscerate, Gash, Crushing Blow, Disrupting chop, ect. These skills give the bar versatility, which is something that your skill bar just doesn't have.

I'm going to stop typing now because I'm tired of repeating myself in these warrior threads. Simply, learn why the meta is the way it is and learn game mechanics.

Sorry for the double post but i have to comment on this...

Don't you see the missed steps in logic when comboing [skill=text]Barbarous Slice[/skill] and [skill=text]Frenzy[/skill]???

Barbarous Slice (when frenzy is up) will not inflict bleeding which means that gash can not deep wound. Bring sever artery instead.

heres a build i like in PvP mabey it will help.

Enrageing charge (in Ab and general pvp a running stance is a MUST)
"For Great Justice!" (double adren...)
Frenzy (in pve the -33% speed from flail isnt bad, but in pvp...no)
Standing Slash (quick spike when D slash is down, +34 dmg for 6 adren!)
Sun Moon Slash (great for adren gain and double Vamp with vamp weapon)
Dragon Slash (E) (its +42 spamable.. need i say more)
"Sheilds Up!" (team support and it can cover the -40 from HS)
Healing Signet (self heal ALWAYS NEEDED!)

Stats
~ Tac 8+1
~ Str 8+1
~ Swd 12+1+3 or +2 if your a sissy and cant stay alive =P

Use full health besides runes and 1 absorption and it will cover for the -75.
Also you can use riposte instead of Standing Slash so you can counter other warriors its more effective that way beacause most warriors forget to bring defenses so use Sheilds up and Riposte+Dslash and hes good as dead. i know its not very anti block but outside of warriors cunning theres not much anti block stuff for warriors besides single anti block skills.
Wachya think?

I absolutely love monking against dslashers in RA. One shield bash or guardian and they're useless for a long time.

I have started packing shield bash in PvP almost always know when I RA or sometimes even TA. It's great for pissing off sins.

So much fail in one post...

1) Don't use sup or major runes because health is your best friend. Get it as high as possible (that means 600hp or higher).
2)DON'T BRING RIPOSTE!!! omg, if a warrior is beating on you, than feal lucky he isn't hitting one of your, lower AL, team mates.
3)Your attributes don't even add up... you can put 2 more points into either strength or tactics.
4)BRING DEEP WOUND AND DONT MAKE ME SAY IT AGAIN!
5)You don't need shields up to cover the heal sig. Just don't cast it when you have a mob of people beating on you. Kite away and then use it.
6)Bring Rush instead of Enraging Charge so that you can cancel frenzy more.
7)D-slash is bad.
8)D-slash is bad.
9)D-slash is bad.
10)D-slash is bad.
The current meta is block... duh!

oh ok im wrong im not a big pvp person.
so help me out
if you could pick 4 classes/people to run RA/GvG what precentige would be a melee class??
from what i have heard derv are veryyyy poor in pvp out side of a cookie cutter weary-meladru(spelling).
Assasins are even worse do to there endless squishyness???
Warriors... warriors are good in pvp but from what i have heard/seen they can be easly peplaced.

I know i would chose Monk/Rit (heals) Monk (Prot) para (shouter/dmg) and ele (dmg).
is this wrong? Considering 90% of general pvp now use Block it counts melee out 90% of the time?? yes they add presure but why bring a useless presure warrior when you can just bring a Lifestealing necro that will cut right thru there defense?
well w/e lesson learned

Blocking happens. Its not the end of the world and it doesn't make Warriors useless, it just means to switch target. I'd say most (good) GvG groups run at least two Warriors unless they're doing some crazy, specialized, unbalanced build. Seriously dude, hit B and observe some high-level PvP, and take a look at group dynamic, the structure of the group, and individual builds. Go go go

Generally you'd have 2 melee, 3 midline + flagger, and 2 backline (i.e. monks) in GvG.

Unless the meta shifted to 3-monks, which I'm not aware of because I'm not active anymore.
