Check the build again. It's not just a snare. It's a low adrenaline setup for Gash.

6 adren isn't really "low"

No, but it's either Cripslash or Hundred Blades. Take your pick. It's also more fun than Sever Artery imo. Besides, cripple can be useful at times.

In NM, I go Conjure Cripslash most times, not because it's better than a D-Slasher, but because it's easy enough to not matter. Of course I'd run a D-Slasher if I needed to maximise my damage, but I've found if you can hold aggro to a good extent, it really doesn't matter what elite I'm running.

Seeing as though you've got Factions now, here's a D-Slasher to try out:

[card]Sun and Moon Slash[/card][card]Standing Slash[/card][card]Galrath Slash[/card][card]Dragon Slash[/card][card]"For Great Justice!"[/card][card]Flail[/card][card]Healing Signet[/card][card]Resurrection Signet[/card]

[skill]Sever Artery[/skill] is a 4 adrenaline and non-elite setup for Gash.

And frankly, [skill]Sever Artery[/skill][skill]Gash[/skill] really suck for PvE.
There's way better ways to deep wound stuff besides using two skills that barely give any +damage, require the target to be bleed-able, and require the target to not die after Sever Artery. [skill]Wounding Strike[/skill][skill]Dismember[/skill][skill]Slayer's Spear[/skill].....

For Dragon Slash, use [skill]Enduring Harmony[/skill] with [skill]"For Great Justice!"[/skill]. That's 30 seconds out of 45 of near constant +42 damage attacks with ~10% AP or whatever your Strength is.

Or use [skill]Dragon Slash[/skill][skill]Brawling Headbutt[/skill][skill]Steelfang Slash[/skill] if you want to spam knockdowns.

[skill]"Watch Yourself!"[/skill] is a must on PvE warrior builds with 8 or more Tactics unless you have another warrior using it.

And if you're going to go down that way, you may as well throw in "Save Yourselves!" for 30 seconds of God Mode

Hundred Blades is most definitely not more a waste of your elite slot than a more expensive, elite version of Sever Artery with a mostly pointless Crippling side-effect. Given those options, and provided its PvE, I'd definitely take Hundred Blades.. especially in a Conjure build.

But that said, I'd still use Dragon Slash over either one.

if i was pveing id just take eviserate for an always deepwound unless i miss or is blocked

Hundred Blades is a great skill although I can see why some dont like it, with Dragon Slash under FGJ! you attack 5 times ( to get 10a ) then your free to Slash for 30seconds ( minus the time it took to charge DS ), with HB under FGJ! you can instantly gain **At Least** 4 adrenaline, if you manage to hit two foes at once, which is a lot of the time in PvE, you gain **8a** instantly, and yes it may not have the extra damage of DS but I think its mre reliable, you dont have start over if HB misses like you do with DS.
It also works well with a Conjure build, or any build build with some +damage to attacks skills ( Splinter Weapons for example ).

Meh just thought I would argue HB's case a little.

Deep wound is overrated in PvE, it's much more useful in PvP.

A Leprechaun · Oct 21, 2007, 05:58 PM // 17:58

Deep wound is still very effective in PvE, its just not needed.

Thom Bangalter · Oct 21, 2007, 06:18 PM // 18:18

just bring 'finish him!' if you really want a deep wound.

More save yourselves is key.
