+30 shield handle of fortitude.

---------------------------------------------------------
Stats:

+15 str
+13 axe
+6 tactics
+6 wilderness

---------------------------------------------------------
Build:

1.Enraging charge
2.Tiger Stance (Frenzy works very well here.)
3.Executioner strike (Dismember works good here also.)
4.Power attack
5.Disrupting chop
6.Lion's confort
7.Milandru's resilience
8."I will avenge you!"

----------------------------------------------------------
Overview:

Good AB Build.
With 3 stances, it can be difficult to jugle them. Using your 3 primary attack skills
ie. executioner strike, power attack and disrupting chop. With Tiger stance, Melandru's resilience and Enraging charge as your stances. And the shout "I will avenge you!" (when nessicary.) these 3 strikes can be extremely effective.
Along with the 3 stances being used. Keep in mind "I will avenge you!"
is a shout and CAN be used simultaneously with your stances.
You cannot use more then one stance at a time.

Enraging charge works well with Disrupting chop or Executioners strike to replemish adrenaline.
Another good thing about it is its energy based, so u can use it to keep these 2 attacks rotating.
This build can solo any shrine becides an Elemental shrine.

----------------------------------------------------------
Disadvantages:

1.This build does not affect blocking skills (depending on the percentages of the opponents blocking.)
2.This build is vulnerable to blinding. (hence the -40% blind duration)
3.This build is very susceptible to elemental dmg.

----------------------------------------------------------

Needs a more reliable increased speed stance and IAS. At the very least, get yourself Dismember for deep wound.

mystical nessAL · Dec 22, 2007, 05:31 PM // 17:31

Power attack is bad, flail + enranging > tiger alot, i will avenge you is...meh useless.

What I found a very decent AXE build is;

Eviscerate(E)
Executioner strike
whirlwhirl (sry cant spell it :P) strike
"You will die"
"For Great justice"
Lions Comfort
Flail (even without another stance, it only lasts like 10+ secs, not a big deal imo.)
Enranging Charge / Res sig

But your build is nice overall, it's nice trying to use a elite that is barely seen nowsdays.

Spiking and runing is better than having a +r regen imo. :P

Needs more Frenzy/Rush, less Tiger Stance. Tiger Stance is awful, so is Flail in a PvP setting.

Also, why bother being an axe warrior in PvP without Deep Wound? Power Attack definitely does not outweigh Dismember for that slot on your bar.

Arkantos · Dec 22, 2007, 08:10 PM // 20:10

Conditional stance elite, no deep wound, bad IAS, poor damage. The build isn't that good. Replace TS with flail/frenzy (pve/pvp respectively), replace power attack with dismember, or replace your elite with eviscerate. Get rid of radiant insignias (they're bad). I'd also replace major axe and sup strength for both minors, then swap around the attribute points for those.

KazeMitsui · Dec 22, 2007, 09:55 PM // 21:55

radiant sigs are gud for shock spamz

~ Dan ~ · Dec 22, 2007, 11:03 PM // 23:03

You spent 1 year on a build with tiger stance as the only IAS? Wtf?

Keep in mind, after completing Proph, Factons and NF, with a generalized character over the three maps. the goal with this char was flexibilty while still maintain all around defence.

bad posts review: Power attack uses energy and cannot pissibly be replace by dismember in this build.
:Changing remaining points left over from runes on wilderness and tactics? WIlderness is only 1 skill which goes up to 15 seconds. 13 seconds is proven sufficient at 6. There is only 1 skill in Tactics that is Lions comfort. 110 health is sufficient.

: Was replacing the Elite actually compared to Eviscerate?
: More health is better then high strength?
: Double dmg is better when fighting touchers dervs eles
etc.?
I did change en+2 into: +10 health.
I changed gauntlets insignia +5 health into +20 armor vs. ele dmg.
I changed Tiger stance into Frenzy.
I changed Executioners Strike into Dismember.

What I like about frenzy is it's fast recharge time and it's easy disposal when not required , OR too much dmg. is being taken.

So far Frenzy is not proving itself.

Frenzy is excellent in pvp, sux in pve. If having 13 in strength and having the sentinent insignia for warriors gives you +20 armor againts elemental dmg besides your 20 more armor buff. you will have enough surviving skills that you wont need any heal / condition removal or w/e. Having "Save yourselves" will provide much better defense toward your party than any other skills. If you still hate the conditions, please, dont use melandrus, use mind touch. Hell better than this.

I did change en+2 into: +10 health.
I changed gauntlets insignia +5 health into +20 armor vs. ele dmg. (seems to work very well so far, im even thinking about using another one.)
I changed Tiger stance into Frenzy. (works well. Seems to do more dmg. also.)
I changed Executioners Strike into Dismember. (works very well also)

What I like about frenzy is it's fast recharge time and it's easy disposal when not required , OR too much dmg. is being taken.

This Build's AB shrine rating is as follows from "easiest" to "harderest" (soloing):

1. mesmer
2. necromancer
3. ritualist (must kill spirits first.)
4. ranger
5. monk
6. warrior
7. elementalist

Yeah, In PvE I use "save yourselves" of course. but I cant stress enough how important Melandru's is for this particular build.

mystical nessAL · Dec 24, 2007, 04:01 PM // 16:01

Well, in my opinion you cant make a perfect build for both pvp and pve.

Good luck.
