Curse

I'm currently running a warrior that does not require adrenaline to build up and use energy to release skills.

Wild Blow - Melee Attack
Lose all adrenaline. If it hits, this attack will result in a critical hit and any "Stance" being used by your target ends. This attack cannot be blocked or evaded.

Irresistible Blow - Hammer Attack
If this attack hits, you strike for +32 damage. If Irresistable Blow is "blocked",your target is knocked down and takes 32 damage. Irresistable Blow cannot be "evaded".

Power Attack - Melee Attack
If this attack hits, you strike for 30 more damage.

What's good with this build is your attack can not be evade or block, when ever target has a stance it will break by wild blow. Continuously spaming all 3 skills to deal very high dmg.

Flourish {Elite} - Skill
All of your attack skills become recharged. You gain 7 Energy for each skill recharged by Flourish.

Warrior's Endurance {Elite} - Stance
For 25 seconds, you gain 3 energy each time you hit with a melee attack. Warrior's Endurance cannot raise your energy above 25. This is an elite skill.

I have problems to get energy back. Flourish skill is not enough to solve energy problem. It has 10 secs recharge time. When i spam with all 3 skills at the 1st time, flourish recharged my energy to full nicely, but the 2nd time when i use all 3 skills, Flourish is not refresh yet and my energy drains quickly to empty.

For warrior's endurance, it is a stance, that means i can not use frenzy or sprint or rush when i have it active, which is complete a problem because all my target has to do is to run.

Lacking cripple ability is also a big problem.

Any thoughts??

Well, first of all, you have two elites. You have to pick just one.

Meimei · Oct 08, 2005, 02:13 AM // 02:13

I know, just comparing 2 of them, and maybe other skill is better for helping out energy

Why did you leave out desparation blow?

Oryaka Drake · Oct 08, 2005, 03:48 AM // 03:48

Flourish might be your best bet... however you would need around 2 or 3 of the skills to be in the recharge stage for it to give ya anything for em...

You should also consider having warriors cunning in here...

Meimei · Oct 08, 2005, 04:13 AM // 04:13

I do not need warrior's cunning because my attacks can not be block or evade and my attack breaks any stance. I solved the problem on energy issue, just keep my energy above 20 untill flourish refresh and that only takes 5 secs more. Now, my biggest problem is to have ability to cripple my target because i can not let any of my skill refresh before using flourish or i will not gain energy from it, so i can not let my target run.

lol ok running is your biggest problem here my advice have some thing like ice incase or whateva for slowing now while u just use energy run in and let it recharge then pull off your combo but watch careful of the energy then flourish once run low,then continue combo but slow it down you dont have to use skill every second let your skill go atleast near half then pull off your combo then ur ready to flourish again time it right and you can run this combo over and over.

Running an energy based striking warrior is one of the most inefficient things you can do. Not using Adrenaline as a warrior to me is just plain crazy, HOWEVER, it is possible but ONLY if you decide to go the SWORD route. A lot of the Hammer skills [such as the blows] require energy and a knockdown, all knockdowns use adrenaline which you seem inclined against using... Here's an idea...

16 Swordsmanship
8+1 Strength
10 Inspiration

Hamstring
Seeking Blade
Pure Strike
Savage Slash
Warrior's Endurance {E}
I Will Avenge You!!
Drain Enchantment
Energy Tap/Res Signet

Sword is the MOST energy hungry of all the weapon skills so it naturally blends well with energy stealing Inspiration Magic. You are lacking a snare however since there's a chance a teammate may bring a pet or other teammates will die, your I Will Avenge You!! will help with Warrior's Endurance as well as let you just wail on your enemy using your attack skills. I highly suggest bringing a Zealous Hilt so as to gain +4e. per swing. 4e./s. is 12e./3s. or in effect, 12 pips of regen.

You can even switch your Inspiration Magic for a little more Strength if you wish for Endurance to last even longer.

Not having a sprint will be troublesome so your teammate monk will have to keep snares off of yourself.

Yeah, instead of a snare, get your whole team to stand around the target in a circle -.-

You automatically get andrenaline by attacking. Not using it is just wasteful, especially considering how little energy you have.

rii · Oct 09, 2005, 04:45 PM // 16:45

With sword and energy attacks, even then, put in garath final. Its just silly not too.

The only good energy spike for warriors is balanced stance - desperation blow - thrill of victory. And even then, you will still probably be running adrenal spike on top of that. Energy managment may be an issue.... BiP the wars? Maybe run warrior's endurance and armor of mist. Its certainly playable if your team build needs something from the tactics line (shields up most of the time).
