Curse

So my current build is

[Eviscerate][Executioner's strike][frenzy][rush][bull's strike][shock][conjure lightning][Enraging Charge]

atts are 10 air, 11 str, 13 axe. (1 point left over)

This crits for 72 against a 60 AL target... with a 3air/13str/14axe split it was critting for 67. Attack skills do quite a bit more (I remember seeing 126), but for now I'm only considering base crit damage. I'm also going to try other attribute splits in between, but those have 5 points left over...

Are there any ways to increase this ?

I like to do not only above average damage but like superhuman mysteriously hax high numbers, without sacrificing utility/defense. 200 with a derv, 145 final thrust and such... I may also try a vow of strength W/D.

While I do not think the OP is trolling, this is a pretty common build and has been used for a long time.

As for increasing the damage you can always take a heal/smite hybrid monk for support with [Strength Of Honor].

I would also drop [Enraging Charge] for [Resurrection Signet] unless you're playing PvE and can afford to drop the sig.

Go D/A for BIG Numbers

[Vow of Strength][Shadowy Burden] ~200-250 crit on casters *AKA 60 Armor

100-110 without the *cough* *cough* enchantment wich is so likely to be stripped and Zealous > Elemental Mod

^
Mostly what those 2 said, Shock-axe is not exactly a new build, nor is shock axe with a conjure included.
And the damage isn't the highest among the warriors, let alone other characters.
Plus, I'd rather use my war slot in my team for something else, atleast in PvP.

How is that not trolling?

Your axe war does not crit for 100-110, like the dude who told me he critted for 150... I did use shadowy burden for a while, but it's energy intensive.

72 is a number I saw several times against fleeing casters. Like I said the 2 attack skills can do 100+ (126 against a kiting monk earlier tonight).

I know this isn't an original build, in fact it's an old gvg build that somebody from alliance pinged me several months ago, the only difference being sprint skill over signet. Also the enchantment is almost never stripped, except once by a mesmer who persecuted me for the whole match (AB).

Not boasting, asking for ways to improve my war build.

after testing, the build I posted crits 72, the 12/12/3 version does 67, and the 12/11/6 does 70 to 60AL targets in the isle of the nameless.

You could try dropping your two Major runes and using a Superior Axe ...

you ask the crit well 70+40 from exe

LifesRestorer · Mar 08, 2009, 12:55 PM // 12:55

definitely a troll. inb4lock

Sun Fired Blank · Mar 08, 2009, 12:57 PM // 12:57

12 axe, 9 strength, 9 elemental does more damage, and if you drop Shock for Agonizing Chop, your damage goes up slightly also. The bar you have uses a fairly large amount of energy, so I'm not sure how much time that you spend on your zealous set, but that looks like an AB bar, where downtime between skirmishes is pretty good. To be frank, Warriors have never been used just for the straight up damage, so if you're looking to get that from your warrior, then you're out of luck.

Lourens · Mar 08, 2009, 01:06 PM // 13:06

I got another tip you might enjoy [judge's insight] along with a zealous axe

t00115577 · Mar 08, 2009, 01:15 PM // 13:15

Dont feed the troll..........

Ye we know evis bars are strong

Lux Aeterna · Mar 08, 2009, 01:58 PM // 13:58

Only using minor runes now, I had a superior axe for a while but eventually realized that the damage increase was under 10 points.

Judge's insight is good, I'd like to find a practical way to use it.

Why's everyone saying I'm trolling ?

And about fighting me, people have been known to quit / flame in private chat/ stay and get extensive help afterward.

Also 12/9/9 crits for 73 so I think I'll switch to that, but I've gone back to hammer for a bit.

miskav · Mar 08, 2009, 03:52 PM // 15:52

Lux, you've faced terrible people then.
And every-one is saying you're trolling because this was known around 4 years ago, and is in no way a ''great'' warrior build.
Warriors in serious play aren't used for damage alone >_>.
That's why it works well in RA/AB, they aren't serious play.

Oooooo... a COCKY troll!

/facepalm

zling · Mar 08, 2009, 04:24 PM // 16:24

people keep telling you that you're a troll, you keep on disagreeing with them, yet I see such comments from you:
"fighting me is typically bad for self esteem.."
"And about fighting me, people have been known to quit / flame in private chat/ stay and get extensive help afterward."
which are classic trolling statements...

so what exactly was it that you wanted in this thread? perfect attribute spread for standard Conjure Evis bar? or was it indeed trolling?

Actually Sun Fired Blank helped my dps a bit, so I suppose it was a success.

so like

1) Are there any practical war builds for pvp with higher damage ?

2) What functions do warriors have that don't involve doing a lot of damage ? I can think of some but I'm curious what you'd have to say.
