I've been using the following build on Jora :

Conjure Frost
"For Great Justice!"
Dragon Slash
Enraging Charge
Signet of Strength
Jaizhenju Strike
"Shields Up!"
Resurrection Signet

And I must say she really ruins it ! (she's She doesn't keep conjure up.
She doesn't keep FGJ up as much as possible

But most importantly : She refuses to use Dragon Slash. Even when it's charged and after I've activated FGJ she just stands there using auto attacks.
She does use Jaizhenju Stike when availlable though.

Anyone else have a Dragon Sjash build that the AI doen't mess up ?

Hmmm i have set up my Jora as a Dragonslash Warrior and she plays it very well i must say. Spams DSlash whenever its recharded. Once i get on GW i can post the build here. Oh and she keeps up Conjure up all the time. Maybe its getting stripped?

Seeing as conjure has a long duration it might be worth you putting it to the right of her skills bar, and casting it for her every so often. Its a pain, but its better than having it at the left.

Its thought that skills to the left of a heroes skill bar are favoured by the AI, therefore i think if you make the left-most skills Dragon Slash then she should use it more often. Hopefully.

I've tried that same build and something does seem wrong, they only use Dragon Slash occaisonally. Disabling Jaizhenju Strike seemed to help for some reason. In any case they'll use Dragon Slash a lot more often with these changes to the build:

[skill]Conjure Frost[/skill][skill]Sever Artery[/skill][skill]Gash[/skill][skill]Dragon Slash[/skill][skill]"For Great Justice!"[/skill][skill]Flail[/skill][skill]"Shields Up!"[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Try changing the position of skills. Dragon slash all the way to the left, followed by the attack skills, then shouts/stances and finally conjure + res sig.

Generally heroes prioritize left skills first, so that might help.

Also, for me I always put my main attack skills/ skills I really want to use all the way to the left 4 so I can hit 1-4 while moving. Then the longest lasting skills all the way to the right since you don't have to spam them.

Heroes won't use attack skills when they become available so they don't really run Dragon Slash builds anywhere near their maximum efficiency. Mine like to auto attack 2-4 times after using Dragon Slash before using attack skills, even though they are all recharged. Perhaps some bug in their AI is telling them to count adrenaline only from normal hits and disregard the +5 adrenaline gain from Dragon Slash.

Putting energy and adrenaline attacks on a bar screws up heroes for some reason, at least it did with my Koss. He ran Soldier's Strike and some adrenaline axe attacks, refused to use the adrenaline attacks and spammed the heck out of Soldier's Strike. Then he miraculously started using adrenaline attacks after he ran out of energy or I disabled SS.1

See, I just started a new Para for kicks and Koss has been running a DS build just fine for me. He spams that and WY like crazy.

I'll remove the energy based attack skills and see if that helps.
I'll change the order of the skills and see what that does too.
It's kind of silly though. I like the energy based attacks to be used while charging up the adrenaline.

Thanks for the help, I'll post back with my findings.

As a note, my goren is a conjure slasher, conjure on the right part of the bar, and he uses it whenever its recharged and not up. I dont think the order matter.
