I've got an Elite Warrior Tome waiting for my new warrior, so I'd like to use it once I get out of pre-searing. If I had to choose just ONE elite skill out of all others for general pvp and farming to get first, which would be my best choice?

Kyomi Tachibana · May 02, 2008, 05:01 AM // 05:01

I'd go with Dragon Slash, cuz it's spiffy.

Pyro_Elementalist · May 02, 2008, 05:13 AM // 05:13

I was thinking the same thing. Now, for a follow-up question: Can I unlock skills with balthazar faction and use the tomes to get the skills unlocked in that way?

Calli · May 02, 2008, 05:23 AM // 05:23

Yes. You may use a regular/elite tome to learn any skill of that specific profession that you have previously unlocked for your account.

Kyomi Tachibana · May 02, 2008, 05:24 AM // 05:24

Yup that's the way it works.

General pvp + farming? Well, for pvp I'd say [EVISCERATE] and for farming... well, I don't know, I don't farm with my warrior much anymore.

Yuhe Ji · May 02, 2008, 05:43 AM // 05:43

Farming I would guess [Gladiator's Defense], but it has little other uses and you will be laughed at in pvp if you use it. I would just pick the best skill that you think will take a while to get. [Dragon Slash] fits the bill.

cellardweller · May 02, 2008, 05:43 AM // 05:43

[dragon slash][triple chop]and [earth shaker] are the pve elites of choice. The first two are available via easy set location caps relatively close to ascalon. [earth shaker] on the other hand is on a random spawn in the middle of nowhere which would make it the best one to use the tome on.

For pvp - roll a pvp toon and stop messing around with subpar pve ones until you can deck them out fully.

I'm reading this as you want to use an elite tome as soon as you get out of pre so you can get an unfair bonus above everyone else in Ascalon Arena. In that case there probably wouldn't be too much use in taking [[Dragon Slash] because you won't have the attributes to have it return a good enough adr to justify the 10adr cost.

If you're talking about RA, TA, and stuff, just make a PvP char, saving yourself the trouble of running a subpar char. Besides, you have to get to lvl 20 anyway and at that point, you'll have most of the elites within your grasp anyway

Kyomi Tachibana · May 02, 2008, 07:33 AM // 07:33

You can't even use elite skills in the low level arenas iirc. :x

Also, there are no elite war skills that fall into "good PvP and farming" category. Choose one or the other.

Or at least I don't think there are, I'm not very knowledgeable of warrior builds.

just take [whirling axe]
low adrenal cost and nice dmg
(can be spammed with [[For Great Justice])

Pyro_Elementalist · May 02, 2008, 01:33 PM // 13:33

Heh...I meant to say PvE, not PvP. My bad >.<

Gredinus · May 02, 2008, 03:22 PM // 15:22

Dragon Slash for groups...

October Jade · May 02, 2008, 03:42 PM // 15:42

DSlash really loses its luster without a complement of other skills that support and benefit from the adrenal swings. Also, without 14 in Swordsmanship you can't even use FGJ! spam.

I suggest using the tome to learn Cleave. The adrenal cost is significantly less than Eviscerate, which makes it more ideal for general pve. There is little sense in carrying an elite that can't be used until the target is already dead.

yea...
dslash will become one of teh better elites...
when u reach lvl20

but from lvl5-20...
cleave mite be better choice

unless u like planning ahead...
which kinda defeats teh purpose of having and using the tome now...
mite as well jus save it for later when u hit lvl 20 and can put it to good use

[dragon slash] [eviscerate] [earth shaker] take your pick

Red Sand · May 02, 2008, 06:05 PM // 18:05

For general solo farming and group PvE, I'd take [[charge].

It's a utility Elite that you can use with whatever weapon you like. For me, it's not always all about dealing damage.

MasterSasori · May 02, 2008, 06:57 PM // 18:57

PvE: [Dragon Slash]
PvP: [Eviscerate]

Stay away from [Hundred Blades] as it really should be renamed Two Blades.
